Is there still an interest or demand for the straight-edged Superstar?

#5 Damien Sandow

He's better than your favourite wrestler!

2016 was a year of unexpected releases by WWE officials. Zeb Colter, Alex Riley, King Barrett and a host of others parted ways with the company. However, out of all of the Superstars releases, there was one shocker that stood out the most: Damien Sandow.

Sandow was extremely talented and what made him even more valuable was his versatility. He seemed to be the WWE resident chameleon, capable of adapting to any and all situations that were thrown his way. For example: MizDow. Just think of how much of a failure that gimmick SHOULD have been and would have been had the angle been assigned to someone other than Damien Sandow.

The way Sandow turned that whole storyline into something great should be talked about for years to come. In that storyline, Sandow became "MizDow," who was essentially the ultimate stunt-double for The Miz. However, no one would have ever expected MizDow to completely overshadow the "A-lister" quite like Sandow did. During this time, everything the former Money in the Bank winner touched seemingly turned to gold.

Life outside WWE has not been overly impressive for Sandow. A trip back home would benefit all parties involved.
