The crowd just misses austin. I can't wait for stone cold to come out and stun this man straight to hell I'm gonna pretend you didn't type that. Steve-o stole Sandman's gimmick. not the other way around. Dang, a wife beater and rip-off. Not the best record there. Anyone else find that little girl marking out hard for beer last night hilarious? haha. I noticed that too. She seemed pretty happy to get splashed with beer

I know the Enter Sandman is normally out of he question, but I think it would be great if on pay per views, he gets to use Enter Sandman, and then they just dub over his entrance music when they release it. Plus, doing the whole Enter Sandman entrance would take up a bit of Raw, lol.

It's like I said last night......The Sandman is over because he's the Friggin' Sandman....and at a time when WWE NEEDS a character like the Sandman.....especially when it seems most of the company is slowly going back to the 80s.

"Why do you drink BEFORE the match?" It seems drunk people really love to get into fights and also if you're loopy, you don't feel as much pain - the sedation effect. Maybe if he tapped a keg beforehand, he could legitimately no sell moves. I don't know. I guess that's just how I would explain it. Imagine if my proposed Ummaga/Sandman IC title match, old school ECW weapons match, started out with that... ...like Sandman drinks MORE booze than usual, to numb the pain he will receive, and prove that he is a serious cracker. People would jump on WWE for encouraging kids to drink...but dammit, I would mark for it.

This just proves my theory that Germans love David Hasselhoff. Oh crap, wrong theory. *looks through his notes*Here is the the right one:This just proves my theory that people like guys who drink beer and beat up people with sticks. Don`t you EVER Hassel the Hoff again.

He doesn't have much wrestling ability, but he can put on a great match.
He wrestles drunk better than most the roster does sober.
He's himself and gets over more than others who try ten-times harder.
Sandman is an enigma to wrestling and I love him for it. Gives me hope that I can do it one day if I tried.

The fued with Carlito is amazing. I have not cared about either one of them for over a year but for some reason I just looove seeing Sandman cane Carlito. Like to the point I'm yelling at the TV "Cane him, CANE HIM!!" *Carlito runs away, "chase him, cane him again". Whenever the E can get me to yell at the TV they are doing a fine job.

Yes, he's getting a push...really slowly...to the unemployment line. The Carlito stuff will end with Carlito going over, then Sandman gets fed to Snitsky (again), and then he heads to Heat, or is gone completely. Give it a good 3 months or so.

As a crowd member who shared a beer with the Sandman way back in 1998, I'm happy to see the RAW crowd getting into it. As strange as it sounds, Sandman seems to have Undertaker-like respect from the fans. I'm not saying his pops are anywhere near Taker's, but they seem to respect him for the same reasons. Innovative entrance, take no crap brawling, long tenure. He's kind of an elder-statesmam-like figure for wrestling fans. Toss in a dose of the old Stone Cold that WWE fans remember and it's a good mix for a positive reaction. A short IC title run out of respect would be neat. The fans would enjoy it.

I am very happy he's being used in the way he is, but it won't last long.
He'll be history as soon as HHH returns--HHH will be the only one allowed to spit any fluid. Plus, how can a splintering wooden cane hurt when compared to a sledgehammer?

If you go on WWE.com and watch Sandman's entrance video, the Zombie is in it! There are clips of Sandman caning him.
