I can't remember if it was JR's podcast or Steve Austin's podcast, but they were talking about guys not speaking up about the stuff the writers give them and specifically used Sandow as an example when he was told to wear the pink trunks and didn't speak up against it. Anyways, he's switched to black trunks for a while, but honestly I think the pink trunks made him stand out from the competition, now he's another generic smart-alec heel #454 It was Austin's. He also said no talent in wwe is being wasted, he's turning into jr when it comes to defending wwe. |

I'm glad he picked a few weeks after he dressed up as Magneto to "speak up". Most entertaining thing he's done in months.

Didn't the Miz do something like this a few months ago on RAW and it went nowhere? I see the exact same thing with Damien Sandow. He's a great talent who should be getting a push. I personally believe WWE are testing Sandow to see how he deals with getting jobbed and pushed down. WWE has done this before with many wrestlers before when they give them losing streaks or pushes them down to see how they handle it behind the scenes. So hopefully he does get pushed to a higher position this year.

So hopefully he does get pushed to a higher position this year. Dolph too. I personally believe the WWE doesn't believe in Ziggler. Cause they've pushed Ziggler down in the cards multiple times. I know Don Tony said that 2014 was going to be the year of Ziggler and Fandango but I disagree with that. I've lost hope for Ziggler to get pushed again when he feuded with Sandow in those ridiculous stipulation matches on RAW. Now when he won the Money in the Bank and started getting a losing streak, I would have said the same thing I said about Sandow and now thinking about it Sandow also had a losing streak when he won the MITB, but Ziggler has had more of these losing streak type positions than Sandow, so that's why I believe Ziggler will be nothing more than a mid card/upper card when needed guy. It's a shame too, but we'll see what happens. I may be wrong about Ziggler |

It came off as very post-"pipebomb"/SummerSlam-through-Night Of Champions 2011 CM Punk to me, in a very hokey "Hey you guys, look at me shooting!" kind of way. The "I hope I'm let into the building tonight" and "I'M STILL EMPLOYED!" stuff he's posting on Twitter isn't helping either. He hardly said anything controversial. Way too try-hard for me.

It doesn't matter what he says if he keeps losing all the time.
The WWE has done the best they can to make him become a non-factor. No more entrance robe, no more colorful attires, no more cartwheels. They pretty much took everything away that made him different and then send him out there to lose every match.
Hell half the time he doesn't even get an entrance when he does wrestle on TV.

Damien should be WWE's top heel right now. Right along with Bray Wyatt. They seriously dropped the bomb by having him drop his entrance rope and wear that stupid "I > U" tee shirt. Small change, but it's true. WWE is making him look like a hypocrite if his gimmick is to be intelligent. GAHHHH... so annoying watching talent not being used to their potential.

Good for him. He may not be entertaining in the ring but at least he is sticking up for himself. And this is why we really need separate brands again. It would give guys like Sandow, Ziggler, Miz, and Kofi to actually do something.

This new character reminds me of Billy Walsh from Entourage the more I see it.

My favorite current character. It was a shame that they didn't let him run with the belt, I could feel him getting more and more motivated as his briefcase run went on.

Guy got a mild push last year, thought he was a big fish, it didn't pan out because of him and now he's one of those "worked shoot" guys trying to get over acting all pissed because WWE didn't give him a chance. From hearing about his in-person antics amongst fans, it seems like he was a guy who thought he was so cool for keeping kayfabe.
