WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (June 1)

3. Davy Crockett

What is going on with Damien Sandow? What did he do to Vince McMahon in private to deserve this strange fate? Perhaps he told him that he didn€™t find little people humor all that funny, and is actually a bit offensive, and now he must be doomed to portray an increasingly unfunny character himself for all eternity. The former Money in the Bank holder has been a jobber for months, and has recently sunk to the level of dressing up as various people and fictional characters. On Raw, with no explanation, he came out as Davy Crockett. In Memphis he€™ll probably dress as Elvis. In Illinois he can be Abraham Lincoln, and in Minnesota he can be Paul Bunyan. I just saved WWE creative 15 seconds worth of work. You€™ve got to feel bad for Sandow. In the 1980s he would have been a solid Intercontinental Title level heel alongside guys like The Honky Tonk Man and Rick Rude. In the Attitude Era, you can suspect he€™d be at least at the level of guys like Val Venis and D€™Lo Brown. He would have been protected and given actual chances to get over. In 2014, he€™s reduced to dressing like comic book characters, historical figures and wearing miniature clothes from Brodus Clay€™s old gimmick. None of it is going to work. Dressing up as other acts in WWE is just something to do for a little while before management gets tired of it. The Blue Meanie, Stevie Richards, The Big Show and Charlie Haas all had a similar gimmick. How well did those work out?
