So, of the two personas, which one have you thoroughly enjoyed the most, was it Sandow or Mizdow.
I know quite a few around here enjoyed the Intellectual Saviour of the Masses, so I am curious to see which one is more popular around here.

What? No love for new and improved, more aggressive Damien Sandow?

I can't wait until The Miz is berating Mizdow over stealing his spotlight, and Sandow has enough and yells "SILENCE!". The crowd will pop huge.

It's pretty much been my dream scenario since this whole thing started. But this is WWE, so they won't do it. That's how all my logical fantasy booking goes.

It's tough to say where to take Sandow after Mizdow. I think he should take some of the eccentricity of Mizdow, the flamboyant coolness, shades etc, and overall insanity, and incorporate it into his character. Him just going back to the same character as before would feel like a waste, he should evolve and take what works.
I vote Mizdow, he was funny before but I think that gimmick kind of ran it's course, the costume bit definitely ran it's course. Granted, pantomime copying Miz will also run it's course, so hopefully they keep him fresh somehow. I'm definitely rooting for him.
I actually think it'd be funny if he did continue to be called Mizdow for the rest of his career. The crowd is chanting Mizdow, they haven't often chanted Sandow before. If anything it's a rib on Miz, somebody just steals his name.

The turn on Miz will lead Damien to his new gimmick; a hybrid of his two characters who does goofy bumps in between giving intellectual speeches and imitates heels followed by him saying "You're Welcome!" for the imitation.

I hope that this whole thing leads to him returning to the intellectual savior, but far more humbled and savy. Basically where he should have been, a while ago, and become a guy that doesn't just say he's smart in promos, but proves it by being a ring general with exquisite awareness. It took his fall from grace to realize that he had to step up his game, beyond pontificating, and he used the Miz to gain the attention of the fans and exploit matters.

When i read it I popped huge in my head and was like "I WANT THAT!" ...which is a rather odd statement out of context....

I enjoy both quite a lot, but original Sandow is my favorite. His parody of the New Age Outlaws with Cody is still something that can make me laugh without fail.

Mizdow doesn't work without Original Recipe Sandow. What made Mizdow ( and the costume gimmick) work is the silliness contrasting with the high strung dignified manner in which the Sandow character speaks and carries himself in general.

The way I look at it is: Is Sandow doing something that plays to his strengths, which is comedy and character over ringwork alone, on which level he is pretty average?
If the answer is no, (MITB Sandow), then it kinda sucks.
Is the answer yes? (Now, or intellectual) Then he will do great.
So, to answer the poll, something something Tommy Dreamer, will take both, hardcore, because Tommy's fat

My problem with both is that I can't imagine the things that got him over (intellectual saviour and imitating Miz) continuing in any meaningful way. Once the inevitable feud starts, how does Sandow keep the crowd on his side when he has no one to imitate?

Sandow all the way. This Mizdow thing has been an insult to what he used to do, though it was a step up from what he did in the few months in between his Sandow and Mizdow gimmicks. Now that? That was awful. Vince should've fired himself after THAT.

Mizdow is far more entertaining, but nothing compares to the glory of "SILENCE!"
