13 Triple H WWE Projects That Failed Miserably

12. Damien Sandow

Triple H's reason for getting behind Damien Sandow was personal, as both men had been trained by the legendary Killer Kowalski. The in-ring game of Sandow is also very good, as is his mic work and overall look. So Hunter went down to FCW in 2011 and took a look at him. He came out impressed, telling everybody at WWE that he was high on Sandow's potential. Not long after that, Sandow was called up to WWE's main roster, working a routine very similar to Triple H's original Hunter Hearst Helmsley gimmick. Some speculated that Triple H had specifically gave Sandow his old act, as he was that high on him and wanted to help make him a star. But the fact is that gimmick barely worked in 1995, and it definitely wasn't going to work in 2012. Sandow has had his moments these last few years, but right now he's a barely featured comedy jobber act. Triple H has abandoned all interest in him and moved on to younger blood from NXT.
