8 Reasons WWE Dropped The Ball With Damien Sandow
4. He's A Great Promo
In today's WWE, truly great promo men and women are few and far between. For the past several years, the company has relied on a team of writers to script interviews and angles word for word, and as a result, wrestlers never seem to find their own voices. Even worse, the overworked and undertalented writing team churns out promo after promo that sounds exactly the same, wasting what could be a very valuable part of the wrestling equation.
Even guys like The Miz, who are good at doing interviews, seem to be cutting the same promo each week. It's a truly rare talent who can actually take the interviews as they're written and mold them to fit their character, but Sandow fell into that category. His stentorian delivery truly conveyed both intelligence and superiority, and his ability to play off the crowd made him a great heel.
Sandow was also fantastic at speaking off the cuff, as evident in some of the WWE YouTube videos he starred in. The company has legitimately lost one of its top five promo men.
