Say what you want about Damien Sandow and how he was buried, but The Intellectual Savior was over. I feel like it was easily one of the best heel characters in the company when it was over. Sandow took something from the past and turned it into something of his own with pure brilliance. Everything was perfect about his "Intellectual Savior" character. The heel response that he had going was legit. Fans hated him, but in a sound wrestling way. The good ole organic way of hating a heel. Bring it back, it worked.

I agree. Now is the time too, since Axelmania is dead. They need to something with both of them. Why cant they bury somebody like Sheamus instead of Sandow?

Everything involving Sandow is long dead. Might as well just release the poor bastard. He went from having cool gimmick to being Miz bitch then to being a macho man impersonator.

I didn't think there's any way to salvage him at this point he's in the same boat as Jack Swagger Curtis Axel and Adam Rose.

I don't think firing him is the answer.it seems to b an issue with stars wrestling for no reason in wwe.Look at Neville,Bo Dallas and rusev.all these stars have gimmick,good gimmicks and they are all really in the same place of Damien sandow.The wwe creative team has nothing for these guys.i look at Tna and nxt which don't have as much talent as wwe but there talent is always being used.

They had a great idea for em on the solomonster podcast last night. Since he and axel are directionless, why not make them the wyatt ' s new sinister tag team???? I think they could both do great in the role! Sandow has already proven he can play any character, and axel has great intensity. Add in Bo Dallas and maybe Adam rose as Leo Kruger again and I think you have a very badass stable of villians

His ability to really live into a character like that, just goes to show how good he is as a performer. Yet, we still get air time from the likes of cameron, los matadores, Adam Rose, ect.

Very rare WWE reignites old character personas & especially when they're not a top superstar but Sandow does deserve better standing, am relieved that Mandow gimmick is gone now that was a huge step backwards after his Mizdow popularity.

OH YOU WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS!? YOUR POSTERIOR BETTER CONTACT SOMEONE AT ONCE!

Best gimmick in a long damn time, but WWE has a history of ruining gimmicks, or letting the wrestlers ruin their own gimmick(Seriously, I woulda told kane to stay the same or he could just leave my company, if I were vince).

The rhodes scholars were also one the best damn tag teams in a LONG time, yet WWE said "Let's make damien the miz's bitch, and then have cody shave his moustache, put on face paint, and be a cheap replica of goldust).

They never follow the rule "If it ain't broken, don't fix it", very simply rule, specially to any business(but of course, the WWE is rich, so they could give a fuck less about that rule nowadays, yet back in the day, they followed this rule very well, what with the likes of ..... and steve austin, but that's because they wanted to win the competition of their industry).

Should bring him back, but it might be too late :(

Yeah i agree bring back the intellectual savior gimmick its the only time he had potential to actual be somebody in this company. Anything after that was just mid card comedy act, that smart gimmick was when he was at his absolute best.

I swear it was all downhill for Sandow after Cena beat him in the cash in. I still remember so many on here after Cena beat him on his cash in saying "Cena just elevated this guy!" "Cena just made a new star" "Sandow hung in there with Cena!" lol yeah how'd that work out? Anytime Cena lets a guy kick out of a few things and get some offense in on him people claim Cena's made a new star or something.
