I laughed.
He's definitely holding the mic like assholes hold a wine glass. Seems to suit his character pretty well as long as he doesn't start pantomiming working the shaft while he's cupping the balls.
I like him a lot so far, but would like to see how he fares in an actual match which isnt a squash or an attack.
He has a great demeanor while on the mic. The slow talking thing is overused but he works very well with him as he does sound very articulate and he makes you believe that he's talking slowly in order for the 'unwashed masses' to understand what he's saying. The mic work has been top notch so far, and I love the 'you're welcome' bit at the end. He has a great look too, the robe, the hair, etc I'm not keen on the pink trunks but they can easily get rid of them. They just dont seem to fit with his gimmick a whole lot imo. He's now flamboyant or anything. Just generally overall he seems like a really great addition and I look forward to him getting into an actual feud and working some longer matches.
A feud with Christian for the IC title could be really good in a couple of months.

I hope he avoids showing off like Ziggles, I mean isn't he trying to insult people who act goofy like that? The squash was solid. I like how he gets to the ropes and screams for the ref to get the person off and do his job.

I just finished watching his in-ring debut match against Yoshi Tatsu. For all those who haven't seen it here it is:
Nothing too special here, just your typical squash match. I Still don't like his attire, or his theme. His in-ring aggressiveness I like, his finisher is passable. The celebration cartwheel was awesome. His pre-match promo was great as per usual.

I'm still not sold on Sandow. His ring work is average at best (based on watching him in FCW) and I'm not sure how deep his gimmick is once you get down to it. He's going to go the route of the "Destiny promo" in a hurry.
I was curious as to why the WWE was seemingly holding off on a real Sandow match and I now know why. I checked out a match he had with Steamboat and he's pretty bad/boring. Seriously. I didn't enjoy it at all...
Eh, who cares? He'll improve over time I guess.
He's actually entertaining unlike Cesaro, Rollins, and Ohno who are great wrestlers but are pretty bland when it comes to everything else.
