Let's look at the positive: the other guy in the stupid blue outfit is in WWE now! (Sure he has to do stuff like pretend he urinated on himself, but at least it was better than being Liberace's boat captain. ) It's a shame that Aron Stevens never made it that far. Some have made the case that he actually overachieved in WWE and got over because of the Intellectual gimmick and later the Mizdow gimmick. But then again you could say that most wrestlers throughout history who got over did so by maximizing their given gimmick. Damien Sandow wasn't that bad, basically what I'm trying to say. Not much of a mat grappler, granted, but even he didn't deserve to lose MITB the way he did and essentially be SuperCena's final victory (unless you count Bray Wyatt.)

Career killing decision.
The best part was when he started in tna and he claimed that he wanted to wrestle not be a character not an entertainer. But he sucks so much that he couldn’t do it so he came up with the gimmick.
I said it then and I’ll repeat it, guy is an ovw reject that got lucky with the wwe machine behind him cautiously planning his every move and word, without them he’s the f***ing shits and we saw what happened.
Moral of the story, we were all upset when he failed to cash in the money in the bank and when lost the battle royal at wm as the stunt double. The thread when he got fired we all got mad about it, but after the tna run? There’s a reason why the wwe doesn’t push our favorites to the top, because they know something we don’t.

Proof that WWE aren't always wrong and we often as fans don't know best

Proof that WWE aren't always wrong and we often as fans don't know best This. I’m a big fan of using fans as an advisor, not as the end all be all of booking. Sometimes the vocal crowd wants you to push Daniel Bryan, and sometimes they want you to strap a rocket to Damien Sandow. Giving the crowd everything they want is rarely a good thing

He was grand champion. Remember that title? Just as bad as he was. Horrible gimmick and horrible title all wrapped up in one.

He at less had a good theme.....That's all I got. The rest was just bad, very bad.

Also, why crib Liberace? I mean, do most younger fans even know who Liberace even was?

I'm old enough to remember when people in the WrestleMania 31 thread were saying they were going to cancel their WWE Network subscriptions because he didn't win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

If he hadn't made his debut with yet another tired "WWE did me wrong!" promo, I think things would've ended slightly better for him.
I honestly can't comment on the Liberace gimmick since I ducked right back out after the aforementioned promo, but those screenshots make it look hideous.

It's shocking that someone who was pretty solid at physical comedy in WWE just utterly failed to translate that into his TNA run.
Beyond that, it just really grossed me out on a "get it, because it's homophobic" basis.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a guy manage to torpedo his reputation among wrestling fandom so quickly.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a guy manage to torpedo his reputation among wrestling fandom so quickly. Mr Anderson? I remember there being a more gradual slide on Kennedy, going from "This guy has tons of potential" to "This guy has his problems but he could still be a big deal if WWE or somebody else used him right" to "LOL this guy is the shits". With Sandow, when he left WWE he was still being almost universally praised around here as a guy who grabbed the brass ring and got buried because WWE resented him for getting himself more over than their pet projects like the Miz. People were going cold on him when he was just being a mediocre nonentity in TNA, but at that point it was still more the "TNA is so incompetent they kill everyone's heat" type of criticism that didn't really call him out specifically. When he did the first Liberace segment, that all came crashing down (and hurt inside) pretty much instantly, so bad that folks were actually saying they got why WWE didn't want to do anything with him.

The stench also got to Spud and he was taken off tv. If the wwe doesn’t take him Sandow would’ve also killed his career.

He’s the biggest bust of the decade, either him or Anderson.
