Guest fattyfudge Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Seriously, he had a rant a few weeks ago supposedly building him as a disgruntled guy in WWE, but now it seems like that's been ignored with all these random character changes... I'm finding him entertaining but I'm not entirely sure where WWE is going with this.. is it part of a new storyline or is Sandow forever banned to the jobber zone?

Guest tmsnge Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Well, if you find it entertaining, why not just enjoy it and not worry about where it is going? They can't push every wrestler to the top to challenge for titles all at the same time and they obviously like Sandow to be giving him regular TV time. I'm pretty sure he's got a long career ahead of him (injuries permitting), so who knows what the future may bring. But personally, i don't mind if he isn't in any big feuds or going for titles, i enjoy what he's doing at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ciaran The King Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Since his début and even now I believe Sandow has massive potential as as WWE superstar. If it wasn't for John Cena's quick injury return last October and WWE's rushed unification title/feud then I believe Sandow could have had an okay 3/4 month reign as world heavyweight champion. WWE could have easily had him lose it at the Rumble to initiate the unification match at Wrestlemania. Since he was slaughtered by Cena and WWE he's been on a downward spiral and now he nothing more than a comedy character, I too thought the 'pipebomb' promo was the start of something but obviously not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrchris 190 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 He's getting the kind of treatment generally reserved for people who done something to p*ss off somebody of some importance backstage. I'm not saying he has, but the booking is the general WWE "let's teach this f*cker a lesson" format. I think the best thing is that Sandow seems to be enjoying himself and making these awful things being given to him entertaining. The whole Magneto thing with Hugh Jackman was waaaaay batter than it had any right to be, and even his interpretive dancing from Monday raised a chuckle from me while watching the clip on Youtube. The guy's talented enough to turn this booking in his favour, so I'm guessing he's just looking to keep working with whatever they give him until this apparent punishment has ended. God knows what the poor guy's done though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ciaran The King Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Maybe he corrected the McMahon's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 He's getting the kind of treatment generally reserved for people who done something to p*ss off somebody of some importance backstage. I'm not saying he has, but the booking is the general WWE "let's teach this f*cker a lesson" format. I really don't understand why they keep on pushing someone until they get over and then, for whatever reason, they cut their legs out from underneath them. Is it a sign that they don't think the wrestlers have performed as well as they wanted, perhaps? Or is it just to test their resolve and see whether they can hack it if they were given a sustained strong push in the future? This happened to Bryan when he was relegated into that weird angle with the Wyatt's, it happened to Ryback when he turned heel and has continued since then, it happened with Ziggler after they'd given him the title and has happened in the past with others like Ryder and Swagger. I don't understand what the reasoning behind it is at all, especially when the wrestlers are as over as Bryan, Ziggler or Ryback were. The WWE don't help themselves at times. They should commit to a wrestlers push and then back them as strongly as they can, not stack the odds against them and if they fail, condemn for it.

Guest Ciaran The King Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Sandow was a victim of the ongoing, never going to end Cena push, and what ever he did to the McMahon's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he has, but the booking is the general WWE "let's teach this f*cker a lesson" format. That's exactly what I first though. It's Dusty Rhodes' polkadots. Punk leaving, the Wyatts kinda dying, Cena still being hated, Warrior dying, losing 30% of the company's value in one day, the Network's a complete flop, 'Mania's buyrate was a relative stinker, Bryan's injured, Batista's gone again, Jim Ross is telling everyone how Vince shit his pants, Vince is being investigated for what is effectively fraud. It must be a f*cking hoot working there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jayfunk Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Sandow is never going to be a main eventer I don't understand why people thought he would be. Really this guy could never be the man. Mid carder for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsrchris 190 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 maybe, JUST MAYBE, he enjoys doing these comedy skits and actually wanted to do them? That's kind of what I was getting at, the booking he's getting is as if he's being punished for something, but he's just thought "f*ck it" and made the best of a bad situation. You can tell he actually likes d*cking around and hamming it up in the fashion he has the past few weeks. If anything, it's the best thing for him to do, if he complained he'd just prolong his misery. He's taking the dross Creative are giving him and actually making it work in some capacity.

Guest Ciaran The King Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 But having Sandown do comedy skits is a waste of time, we already have 3MB, Los Matadores, Santino, Ryder to do these spots. Sandown is talent being completely wasted at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TekoDX Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 They could just be testing him. Like with Ryback when they had Tensai sandbag him to see how he would react. I swear I remember seeing something ages ago about Triple H liking him but it could be wrong. Maybe they're just seeing how he reacts for later?

Sandown is talent being completely wasted at the moment but none of these are as liked as Sandow. Maybe they're trying to keep with the comedy guys but try and have one that isn't hated? i don't see why every wrestler HAS to be super serious like everyone else.

Guest Ciaran The King Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Every wrestler doesn't have to be serious that's why we have who I mentioned but Sandow I believe could be a very good star if booked properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
