In a little under a year the WWE’s ‘Intellectual Saviour of the Masses,’ Damien Sandow, has gone from ‘Mr. Money in the Bank’ into a comedy jobber role. Way back on Raw when the one-armed Cena overcame the fully fit superstar during the cash in, I, alongside the majority of the wrestling community revolted at the shocking stopping of the promising star’s push. However, had I known the magic that Sandow would produce in his multiple persona gimmick I would have certainly held back some of my scathing words.

The man who has been another victim to fall to the Cena-machine has adopted many roles since then before seemingly settling on the current ‘Mizdow’ character. But which of the personalities he took on was the best?

Personally I loved when he simply donned the jumper and cardigan for the Ambrose versus Rollins lumberjack match at Summerslam, and I respected the amount of effort he put into playing Magneto when Hugh Jackman appeared on Raw, no matter how embarrassing the segment must have been for him.

But now into the top 3 and in a solid third place for me is Sandow’s copies of Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels on the 7th and 8th of July editions of Raw and Main Event. While interacting with Bret hart as both of the doppelgangers Sandow was hilarious as he mimicked the traits of both of the Hall of Famers during the entrances including Shawn Michael’s familiar facial expressions and hand movements. Also, Sandow stepped it up a notch by insulting Hart about the Montreal Screwjob, saying he actually tapped out and wasn’t screwed; and stating that ‘talking was never his strong point,’ which was a fantastic rib on the Canadian superstar.

In at number 2 is from the June 30th Raw where Sandow channelled his inner Mr. McMahon and posed as the boss of the company. Now if the perfect McMahon strut was not enough to explain why this copycat was so fantastic then the fact that the crowd popped at the thought of seeing the chairman is. He suckered all of the live audience in, as well as many of those watching at home, which was a thing of pure genius. Getting squashed but Khali didn’t even have a negative effect of this segment as from start to finish Sandow’s impression was on-point including the classic ‘Welcome to Monday Night Raw!’ that Vince is so famous for.

So what is the winner for me then? Is it his impersonation of my favourite musician Bruce Springsteen? His rapper alter-ego D-Sizzle? Or could it be the time he rocked up as an interpretive dancer?

No, it has to be the one and only, his current role, Damien Mizdow. Every single thing Sandow has done as the Miz’s stunt double has been hilarious; from mirroring his intro to performing his moves on an invisible wrestler outside the ring Sandow has produced an A+ performance night after night; especially at Night of Champions when Miz celebrated on the floor with the IC title and Damien followed suit. Not only has this helped to find a solid role for the multiple persona man but it has also added a lot to the Hollywood Miz character making the midcard heel more interesting than ever. Hopefully this Sandowised character will carry on as he constantly makes me want to watch all of the segments involving him and if it all crumbles down then I pray that we see Stone Cold Steve Sandow or CM Sandow too one day.
