What ever happened to him? I used to love him as the intellectual a hole heel. Then he got over as a face to some degree, but I guess was never taken seriously by the company or the fans. Anyone have any insight into what his future will be? I miss Sandow on the show. He was entertaining at least.

It all started when he ambushed Cena... and then cashed in... and lost. And people claimed it would be the best thing that happened to his career.

And then he quickly fell off the card and became a stunt double for The Miz and lost that program and has now disappeared since Hogan was let go.

I honestly don't know if he'll be prominently featured anytime soon, if ever again. With the NXT talents coming up, unless the brand split happens, I just don't see it. It sucks, because he's talented.

I remember when he was getting a solid push on smackdown and beating a lot of guys clean.

Then WWE put him with Rhodes which was pretty good. Pretty much after that they tried to bury him and he still was a little over.

Eventually they just kept him off TV and decreased his relevance from pointless storylines to no story at all.

If he would have just stopped getting over organically, this never would have happened!

Thx Vince

Believe Meltzer said on one of shows recently they were annoyed with him after they gave him MITB and he stopped working out, something like that.

He got over as a heel so he got buried by Cena.

Then he got over by himself again and turned **** into gold playing dress up/being Miz's stunt double and when he was supposedly done with the imitation **** he became Macho Mandow which got ruined by Hogan.



The Intellectual Savior of the Masses was amazing. He needs to go back to that.

Lol the "losing to Cena is a huge push for him" stuff was awful. Totally ended the guy. He beat the hell out of Cena and attacked his injured arm badly, yet still ended up losing to Super Cena. I remember I just turned my TV off and walked away from that Raw.

Remember when he was white hot not once but twice.........

Miz/Mizdow was awesome. They played off each other so well. They ended the feud in such a lame way. They should have had Miz carry the IC title into Wrestlemania and then have Sandow win it off him there. I realize that means no DB ladder match win, but they could have come up with something else just as big.

If I remember correctly, he was getting buried a month or two before the Cena match. It's not the Cena match itself that buried him.

That's what they do to everyone who wins MitB. But the Cena match killed him dead until he miraculously got the Mizdow gimmick over.

Yeah he had lost in the program with Cody Rhodes following Cody's face turn at MITB but that should have led into a World Title feud when Sandow cashed in.

Instead Sandow went nowhere and Rhodes went into that awesome Shield/Brotherhood feud that ultimately fizzled out into Stardust somehow.

Yet another wrestler that could have been so much more if WWE didn't **** it up.

They blew the payoff with him and Miz.

I still see him popping up on UpUpDownDown videos, and most of those are shot backstage at where ever their wrestling that night for what ever show (Raw, Smackdown, Main Event) So he's still around backstage and showing up. I think creative just has absolutely nothing for him, unless a repackage is coming

Sandow, Barrett, Wyatt, and Miz should just form a group. They've been digging out of the John Cena hole for a while and have not yet recovered. Maybe sprinkle Rusev in there, too.
