8 Reasons WWE Dropped The Ball With Damien Sandow
7. ...Or His Team With The Miz
Even though Sandow was a natural as a heel, he unwittingly became one of the most popular babyfaces in the company via an association with The Miz.
After spending several months dressing up as different wrestlers and personalities, Sandow found a permanent role - he became Damien Mizdow, The Miz's stunt double. He dropped his intellectual superiority in favor of a pitch-perfect Miz impression that was so entertaining, fans turned him face. This led to a rift between the two, with the jealous Miz taking advantage of his sidekick. Eventually, Mizdow turned face, but WWE didn't do anything with him.
The two had long since gone their separate ways, and The Miz is currently riding high as WWE Intercontinental Champion, but there could have been money in a Miz and Mizdow reunion down the road. Granted, the pairing did more for Mizdow than it did for The Miz, but the stunt double certainly deserved his chance to reach the top.
