It actually angers me what they (WWE lackof "Creative") did to him. And it's confusing as hell. I just don't get it.
And wow, respect to him for that especially not making a deal about it...because that shows truth and not ulterior motive.

Stills fan of his now. Hell, I thought he was the better component of the match on SD with RVD. It's a shame they continue to have him lose. I've said it before and I'll say it again he should be wither the IC or US champion today. And good for him for helping out the less fortunate.

While its nice to hear, sadly Im willing to bet that most of these people probably werent even homeless. Bigger cities are notorious having schmucks stand on corners and bridges and ask for money then walk around the corner get in there brand new cars and go home.

Man, who did he piss off so much to be where he's at right now? He went from being Damien Sandow to Damien Sent-down

First off I would just like to say that I have been a fan of him and am kind of ticked that they just trashed his character to the wayside and made him a jobber. He was great on the mic, good enough in the ring, but his biggest asset was his really good character. Its unique and entertaining.
I think its really cool that he is donating money to the ones in need. Respect that.

This is pretty cool. Much respect to Damian Sandow.
Also, I wish he would've kept the robe and the original character. I know he is similar still but he's super generic & bland now. His drop in the card has saddened me.

This is cool. And it's too bad what WWE is doing with him. Those plain black trunks and boots are THE WORST. It's sad actually. Then that haircut. God did they ruin him beyond repair.

Extremely nice of him, but did he say "You're welcome" to each person he gave money to? Sorry, I couldn't resist. This made me laugh! That was nice of Sandow!

Nice to hear. I think he could do with a Bad News Barrett style run, where he doesn't really wrestle for a few months but talks. Sandow is one of the biggest victims of WWE's matchfornoreason midcard policy. There was no follow-up on his failed Money in the Bank cash-in at all, and that hurts not only Sandow himself, but the concept of Money in the Bank. Failing to cash in successfully should have opened a wealth of storyline options for him, but instead, he just wrestles meaningless matches ever since.And his t-shirts don't even make sense now that he's just a guy. The only thing I will disagree with is that Sandow's loss hurts MITB. I think it strengthens it. Who gives a sh*t about the cash in match if we know he's going to win? I like the idea that MITB gets you a SHOT. Not the belt. For the longest time MITB was just a "World Title Ladder Match* (*denotes that the World Title will be handed over somewhere inside of a year.)

It hurts it if we know that it can mean literally nothing for the winner's career -- that loss should have meant something to Sandow, he should have reacted to the loss by doing something important. We should never be in a position where someone wins Money in the Bank and is a job boy nine months later.

"They gave him a new tron video and a new pair of trunks, obviously they're remodeling him for a push!" "We should NOT have to worry about boots not meaning anything!" It's wrestling, you've watched long enough to know that these kind of things happen all the time. Not only that, but if anything, I think it adds the element of realism so many people want to see nowadays. How many times do fighters surge into a title shot only to get smoked by the champion? How many times can Peyton Manning make it to the Super Bowl only to get destroyed? You need that element.

But the loss should have meant something and he should have propelled from there to something else. Or the briefcase should have gone to someone that WWE did care to do something with.

It did mean something. It meant that WWE doesn't give a about him. I'm a Sandow fan, just like almost everyone else in this thread. I just am looking passed the "well they should have done ___!" and ma looking at it for what it is. And what it is, is WWE dropping the ball again. I hear you loud and clear and I partially agree. I'm just pointing out the reality of what happened.

I have said this before but on Earth did WWE give him the briefcase in the 1st place? Losing to Cena didn't help but as NMS says it should/could have propelled him in some fashion. Instead he goes to RR where he lasts about a minute.....colour me confused.

I think he is awesome and it's too bad that the WWE misuses many of their guys. I hope they give him another chance, give him the US title, see what happens. Not like they are doing anything with it anyway.

What a great guy. I think he should be Intercontinental champion, i see him making that title mean something again.

Sandow could have been a great WWE/WHC but leave it to golden boy and Vince to put a stop to that. Sandow could be a top 3 guy, great on the mic, really interesting character, unique look, mega talent. But that last part seems to screw a lot of people from doing well.
Can anyone honestly say that if Sandow looked like Ryback or some other generic big man he wouldn't be on top? No they can't. Vince/Trips are stuck in the past.
