I don't think Sandow was world champ material. He was over, sure, but so was Scotty 2 Hotty. He was most over when he was pretending to be other people, which doesn't say too much great about him. IC title was his limit, probably.

He was stuck with the stigma of being a comedy act, which he was really good at. I'm sure he wouldn't mind continue playing that as long as he was on TV getting to entertain people. The guy just wanted to entertain.

This is the dude who marked when Eric Young became TNA World Heavyweight Champion.

I am not against the idea of Sandow being World champion. When the fuck did I say he should never be world champion? I even said It would have been great if he did. But I said you have to think realistically when it comes to this shit with the WWE. He had the Comedy Character stigma, meaning that is all WWE saw him as. He was really great as a Comedy character too and I am sure he wouldn't mind staying a comedy character as long as he got to do what he loved to do. You could tell in his twitter post that is all he wanted to do.

making this bold so you understand. I am not against the idea of Sandow being world champion, but WWE only saw him as a comedy character and nothing else.

If Roman can be champ, someone more talented in every aspect can be too.

not doubting his talent. But if WWE doesn't want him to be world champion or hell even be seen on TV, they won't be. It's not a debate of rather he talented or not, it's what WWE thinks about the guy. Vince picks who he wants to be his stars and he sticks to it. Rather the fans like it or not. Most likely not, but WWE is still making a lot of money.

For Sandow now he got a few possibilities now. He could go to ROH, Japan. I think he will be able to find work. But Sandow is just going to be added to the long list of guys who WWE could have done a lot more with. Sandow isn't the first, and sadly he won't be the last.

I thought you were saying he shouldn't be World Champion because he was a comedy guy

And he wasn't a comedy guy when he had the Money In The Bank briefcase

Yeah, exactly. Sandow wasn't over because of his gimmick, it's stupid to say so. Even Miz said so, he wasn't supposed to be over with it. But he was because people loved him. He's always been over, with any gimmick he's had. He took it, ran with it, and made it work. He should have beaten Cena when he cashed in MITB and maybe taken a little more serious role. The dude is talented. He can go in the ring fairly well, he is great on the mic, and he spills charisma. He's better at everything than Roman Reigns and yet he's not world champ material?

Well his gimmick where he was copying Miz was stupid. If it was someone who wasn't as skilled as him doing it wouldn't have worked.

Like i said. If WWE doesn't want him to be...he won't be. Sad fact but it's the reality with the WWE
