Five guys whose WWE push was ended much too soon

3. Damien Sandow

Left out in the cold by the WWE AND a girl...sob

Damien Sandow shouldn’t exactly figure in this list as the WWE never seemed to have any interest in him in the first place. True, he did win the Money in the Bank briefcase, but went on to become the first guy to cash in unannounced and lose.

Sandow was relegated to jobber status but when his ‘stunt double’ gimmick with the Miz caught the imagination of the public, WWE had another star. But then Creative famously managed to screw it up.

No single PPV match was booked between Miz and Sandow after their split and the Mizdow character was phased out – despite Sandow getting huge pops during his entrances.

Imitating Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan wasn’t going to stick either. At least he got to smooch Summer Rae before she, inevitably, double-crossed him.
