This whole Sandow situation is becoming very bizarre

[Kill Dat Noize]

i mean this dude is arguably the most over dude on the roster right now. when sandow.. ahem... MIZDOW is out there the fans literally hang onto everything he does. it is fascinating to me that he had to be lowered to that of a stooge and a clown in order to finally get that adulation from the fans. i wonder why that is.

but it's getting to the point where he's become so over that he's also become a distraction. tonight the fans so badly wanted him to win that it resulted in POPS for miz and HEAT on the uso's!

i mean i am glad that sandow is finally getting his due (because i truly believe he's one of the most talented performers they have) but at this point there really isn't anything TO this gimmick, is there? i mean there's NOTHING there! i cannot believe they've been drawing from this well for over a month and yet the fans STILL eat it up!

you're telling me these same people point the finger at cena for all his corny jokes and puns, but find consistent amusement in STUNT DOUBLE SANDOW?? lmao what does he even do? i mean correct me if i'm wrong but is this not also the company's same old typical brand of low level comedy at it's most basic and worthless? what's the difference? because it's coming from an indie darling?



sorta reminds of when zack ryder was "over".

don't you think it is kind of telling that these days the fans tend to empathize and relate to the most pathetic and inadequate characters on the roster?

Well when Bryan and Kane faced Kofi and Truth for the tag titles 2 years ago...they got them booed out because the fans were so pro Bryan. Same thing. Kind of wondered if Cleveland would boo Miz but I knew they would cheer for Sandow. He's different and entertaining...that usually results in cheers.

Thought Naomi was gonna turn heel after the promo but they staying off that for now.

You forget he was over a couple times before but not got the full push. Him cashing in on Cena, then losing KILLED him

right but in a different era i think a guy like "mizdow" would draw more pity from the crowd than anything, not adulation. i mean a brainless stooge like that? getting cheered as if he were a legit contender?

in another era he would be getting laughed AT, not laughed WITH.

but in this sports entertainment era where there are no more marks (the WWE's fault by the way)... a guy like sandow is actually able to win over the crowd based purely on his zaniness.

again like i said, bizarre.

In a different era, a guy like "John Cena" would also fall flat.

It's a gimmick for its time and its place, and it hasn't ever been done on WWF/E television.

It's not bizarre. The crowd just has more complex taste.

how did you arrive at this conclusion?

because they choose to get behind the most pathetic, worthless wrestler in the WWE?

Why is he "pathetic and worthless?" Because he takes kayfabe losses? The crowd no longer uses that as a benchmark. Or at least, not a dispositive one.

He's got an entertaining gimmick and wrestles well. The audience is in on the joke, bruh.

Whole different fanbase and attitude...the smartphone/hipster croed are kind of weak and coddled...so anything halfway good will get cheered, anything great? Worship chants.

He was dead before he lost to Cena. He should have never had the case in the first place. Was only over as a heel at the time thanks to Cody, then after they split the Cody feud kept him relevant, but the second that was over dude was beyond trash. He legit, was the worst he's been his entire career when he had the briefcase. I'll always believe him losing clean was a decision they made only after completely giving up on him.

Dude had to try something else. A comedy character it is, because the second he tries to come across as anything serious he immediately flops.

the guy is a volunteer stunt double for the miz. he lip syncs him when he speaks and he copycats his moves from the sidelines whether he's on offense or defense. tonight he stepped inside the ring, right in the middle of the match, just so he can stand on his head. the guy willingly hurts himself and takes bumps because he saw the miz do it inside the ring.

do i really need to explain to you why the mizdow character is pathetic and worthless?

Why is Sandow called worthless when Orton is still getting work after being exposed as a bytch made roid abuser and someone who picks on women? He should of been gone 9 years ago. John Cena is a living breathing insult to your intelligence but Sandow is worthless because he's not getting a huge, endless push? Lol. Trust me, he would of loved to have had those part timer matches that had Punk crying on two podcasts.

It sounds like your stuffiness is the real issue here.

I think it's funny. I seem to be in the majority

i'm not too big on the current crop of fans.

just like the wrestlers in the ring, i believe a lot of them are disingenuous.

i believe too many of them are more concerned with getting themselves over, rather than reacting to and being involved with the show. i mean how enthralled can you possibly be if you still have the time to chant "this is awesome"??

everything just feels so damn insincere. did fans really believe in zach ryder or did they just wanna take pride in the fact this nobody dude made it to the big time because they had a hand in it?

They need to let him turn on Miz before they over do it like they do everything...
