10 Exact Moments Great Wrestlers Jumped The Shark

10. Damien Sandow Gets Petulant

The way WWE handled Damien Sandow's post-Mizdow run was infuriating.

The former Mr. Money In The Bank came out of WrestleMania 31 with excellent momentum. He didn't win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, but his long-awaited turn on The Miz drew a great pop, and the stage was set for an epic babyface push. Sadly, WWE decided to lumber one of their most charismatic, popular stars with the awful Macho Mandow gimmick, and his interest levels plummeted.

His specific shark-jumping moment came a few weeks after 'Mania, when Sandow engaged with Curtis Axel on Raw. He'd just finished cutting a textbook babyface 'fresh start' promo, but Axel's interruption seemed to pull a trigger inside Damien, and he transformed into the worst kind of WWE 'good guy.'

Having just distanced himself from his old impersonation gimmick, Damien petulantly mocked Axel, parroting his every world like an upset child would do. His reborn face run barely lasted five minutes, and by the time he was done, it was clear that Sandow wasn't going to embark on the push many expected following his split from The Miz. Great job, WWE...
