Many fans have pointed out how talented Damien Sandow was on the microphone, and how effortlessly he played numerous roles in the company. What is being overlooked is the fact that the former Mr. Money in the Bank is also a talented in-ring performer.

While not a world-class talent in style of Seth Rollins and AJ Styles, Sandow was more than capable of holding up his end of the bargain in good matches, and he proved it in encounters with John Cena, Sheamus, and others. He was also accomplished as a tag team worker, as he proved with Cody Rhodes and The Miz.

Sandow's gimmick probably would have called for a more technical approach to wrestling, but as mentioned, he was a vicious brawler in the style of his trainer, Killer Kowalski. It actually added a bit of hypocrisy to his character, as the supposedly-cultured and enlightened grappler was capable of such brutality.

Sandow is an all-rounder who could be counted on to deliver a great match, though he rarely got the chance in recent years.
