10 Most Undeserved WWE Burials Ever

10. Damien Sandow

Raw 1098 Photo 090 There is no better place to start this list than with the WWE€™s most recent and on-going burial, which is of course the burial of Damien Sandow. To think that just a year ago, this guy won Money In The Bank. Boy, how things have swiftly gone downhill for this at one time promising superstar. Upon his debut, he was one of the WWE€™s most interesting new characters. He immediately exhibited great skill on the microphone and a complete grasp of who his character was. He was a pompous ass with an affinity for Latin, a know-it-all intellectual, and wanted nothing more than to be the man to purify the unwashed masses that made up the WWE Universe. His in-ring work was good, but his promos were gold, and his future looked bright. Even when his act began to get a little old, they found a way to freshen it up by pairing him with Cody Rhodes and allowing the WWE Universe to witness their budding friendship flourish. Then he won Money In The Bank, and everything went downhill. I don€™t think the Money In The Bank Briefcase has ever been more of a harbinger of doom for someone€™s career than it was for Damien Sandow. Upon winning it he went on to be humiliated and defeated by his former partner Cody Rhodes, lose countless other matches on the road to cashing in on an injured John Cena and losing. Giving him the briefcase was a turning point in his career, and instead of trending upward and becoming the WWE€™s first diabolical super genius to rise up and become World Heavyweight Champion, like many presumed he would, he trended way down. Week after week he is being made to dress up in outrageously ridiculous costumes and be humiliated and beat down. Some might say that at least he€™s on TV every week, but being absent for a while is probably a better course for his career. To his credit he€™s taking his burial in stride and making the best out of it, but nobody will be able to take his character seriously in the future, which is a shame.
