6 Ups And 8 Downs From WWE Elimination Chamber 2015
6. Mega Silence
The longer this Mega Powers tribute act continues, the more you can hear the crowd groaning. The first time Damien Sandow and Curtis Axel aped Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan, it got a pretty good ovation. The second time, a warm response, and each time after, a little less. Its also official now: After starting out as one of WWEs most promising feuds in 2015, Miz versus Mizdow has become must-miss television. This was so easy, it wrote itself: Mizdow rebels, reclaims his identity, beats Miz pillar to post and launches a singles career on the wave of popularity and support he had amassed as Mizs underling. Instead, Damien lost a battle for the Miz brand, as if that was something worth fighting for, and now has morphed into a second-rate Macho Man impersonator (Jay Lethal being first-rate). So when the Mega Powers came down to attack the Miz during the preshow, it wasnt surprising that the only major reaction they could get was when Daniel Bryan joined them. Please flush these characters and let Axel and Sandow wrestle as themselves. The longer this tribute act goes on, the less people care about either of them.
