If I may beg your indulgence for a moment, Id like to argue that Damien Sandow deserves a much better push than the one hes currently receiving. For starters, there are very few people in the business who are naturally as comfortable on the mic as Sandow. His character, while not exactly main-event material, is a lot of fun. At the very least, he would make a solid Intercontinental Champion. Like the Honky Tonk Man, he could go on a lengthy run and annoy fans until he is finally toppled. It looked like he was well on his way to at least that plateau a few months ago, but has quickly fallen into near 3MB territory. After losing his Money in the Bank briefcase to the one-armed man, Sandow has meant nothing. Every time he gets to talk it feels like WWE may invest in him again, but its not to be. Recently he was knocked out by The Big Show for no good reason, and later he was given the honor of dressing up like Magneto for Hugh Jackman. Thinking back on the promising start to Sandows career, its a bit sad to see him stuck with bad comedy for so long. Hopefully someone in creative rallies behind him again, as he still has so much to offer to the company.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
