10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Damien Sandow

10. He Made His Debut As The Easter Bunny

Sandow was trained by 'Killer' Kowalski and was signed by WWE in 2003. His signing came on the back of a number of impressive performances in enhancement defeats against such names as Maven and Steven Richards. Before he would be sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling (then WWE developmental), Sandow would make his first pay-per-view appearance.

Well, kind of. Vengeance 2003 is quite the PPV when it comes to history. It featured The Undertaker and John Cena going at it on PPV for the first and only time, Vince McMahon taking on Zach Gowan and Eddie Guerrero defeating Chris Benoit in the final of a tournament to decide a new United States Champion.

The APA also put on an Invitational Bar Room Brawl on the event. The winner was whoever was the last man able to stand, and featured a total of 23 individuals. Among the competitors were Sean O'Haire, Brother Love, Matt Hardy, Doink the Clown and Funaki, as well as a mysterious individual in an Easter Bunny costume.

No prizes for guessing who was under the bunny ears. Yes, Damien Sandow's WWE pay-per-view debut came dressed as the Easter Bunny.
