10 Wrestlers Who Were Hilariously Upstaged By Other Wrestlers
9. The Miz Gets Upstaged By Damien Mizdow
This isn't so much a single moment as an entire run; one that catapulted Damien Sandow to superstar status.
After falling off the rails following his calamitous reign as Mr. Money in the Bank, Sandow looked to be stuck in another dead end gimmick when he was assigned the role of stunt double to The Miz.
As "Damien Mizdow", the former Intellectual Saviour would dress like Miz, act like Miz, and even wrestle like Miz. And you know what? It was glorious.
Sandow got massively over by copying The Miz's moves on the mat as his boss was wrestling. Fans instantly fell in love with these goofy antics, making Mizdow way more popular than the man he was aping.
Eventually, WWE got wise to the character's appeal and wrote some jealousy into The Miz that culminated in a feud between the former associates. However, during those early days, everyone was definitely paying their money to see the man on the outside of the ring.
And how did WWE blow off this red hot storyline? With a nothing match on Raw and then by firing Sandow about a year later.
Great stuff, guys!
