What went wrong there? After finally breaking up and freeing himself for Miz. He gets a VERY short lived face solo run. Then he becomes Macho Mizdow. What the hell happened here?

It wasn't the only weird time. After his "intellectual savior of the masses" gimmick, he went into that weird pseudo "bad gimmick" where he was dissatisfied and cutting worked shoot promos. Talk about a kiss of death in regards to where he was going beforehand.

The "mocking another wrestler verbally" act didn't work as well as the physical imitations did, but I didn't mind the faster face version of his "Hallelujah" theme.

…I don’t recall it lasting long enough for anything to happen.
Like, he loses the feud to Miz, and then literally the next promo he has after that, I think he starts making fun of Axel (whose Axelmania thing had become a straight out Hogan parody long ago), they try to have some matches that end in no contests because of The Ascension, and then suddenly they’re faux Mega Powers.

Did management lose faith in the guy already? I barely remember him as a solo face Sandow a few weeks later he's teaming with a fake Hogan..... |

I hated when Axel-mania became a Hogan Parody... it was way better as him talking about how he was the real winner of the Royal Rumble and going to Axel-mania! then PaybAXEL! etc. |

Losing faith in him kind of implies they had any left in him at this point. Also have to remember that any long term run for the faux Mega Powers is killed off by the Hogan tapes getting leaked. Weirdly enough, Sandow is off TV longer than Axel is… Which probably backs up my opening comment. |

I mean they already gave up which is why he got The cosplay/imitation gimmick which lead to Mizdow in the first place. |

Maybe they should've went from Mizdow to Macho Mandow then. At least it makes sense..... sort of. |
