8 Reasons Friday's WWE Releases Were Justified
1. Damien Sandow
Of all the individuals released on Friday, only one would go on to trend on Twitter, and only one was received with almost universal grieving. For months many had spoke of the need for Damien Sandow to be used or let go, but when the moment came it was received with sadness and shock.
Sandow was consistently popular over the last few years despite being given the mouldiest set of lemons available during that time. He was given an impersonation gimmick combined with a losing-streak, and somehow managed to grow in popularity through it.
He was then saddled with The Miz, working as a stunt double that was more of a mimic, and became the most entertaining part of WWE TV.
Despite all of these gains in popularity, it was clear for all to see that WWE had little interest in doing anything with Damien Sandow, and giving him his release was the best for all involved.
Sandow can now go and work elsewhere, and WWE will no longer be saddled with a lower card performer outshining big stars in terms of popularity.
We may not like it, but it makes sense. The only reason Sandow was still on the roster was for fans worldwide to lament his lack of use.
