Earlier this summer, things looked hopeless for Damien Sandow. The Intellectual Savior of the Masses seemed destined for a future endeavoring as he spent every week dressing up as different characters, including Magneto, Davy Crockett, Sherlock Holmes and even Vince McMahon (or Mr. McMahondow). It all seemed like a precursor to being terminated, which would have been a terrible ending for one of the companys more entertaining talents. A partnering with Hollywood heel the Miz turned all of that around, as Sandow morphed into Mizs stunt double, Damien Mizdow. Despite looking nothing like Miz, Damien has spent the last few months mimicking Mizs every move. Sure, its still a comedy gimmick, but its become so over the top that the fans are in on the joke and revel in it. They actively chant for Mizdow while booing the Miz. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYHKoNQk5H4 Credit goes to Miz for playing his role as the Hollywood villain perfectly, ignoring Mizdows contributions and trying to overshadow him at every turn. Meanwhile, Damien keeps stealing the show and the spotlight.
