I was Reading in the Rise and Fall of ECW that Sandman would Drink&Smoke in the locker room and i don't think its a gimmick

I'm sure it wasn't either one of you two but I remember when Sabu was still in ECW and everyone said all his matches were just one giant botchfest. |

In real life I hate people who act like Sandman, but he 'plays' his character really well, and it's a nice change from the rest of the roster.

There was an interview on WWE.com a while back about pre-match rituals.. Sandman said that he drinks a 6-pack of beer and smokes a pack of cigarettes before his match

Sandman isn't a gimmick......that is him, that is why he gets over so well with the crowd because he is like a regular guy that regular people can identify....he is not some roided up pompous ass that the fans have nothing in common with.
Most WWE wrestlers have the DIVA complex and think they are such hot sh*t and won't talk to fans....but after REAL ECW shows, I've seen Sandman sitting outside on the sidewalk, drinking and smoking with fans, talking, signing autographs....he loves the fans and the fans love him back. He also looks just like us....MVP wrestles looking like a Power Ranger...Sandman wrestles is a t-shirt,. jeans and sneakers.
He's just so easy to root for because the fans feel like they identify with him, 99% of the audience does NOT look like Batista or Lashley....they look like the Sandman.

People can hate a guy who think she's better than everyone else. |

Has anybody gotten used to his entrance music? At first I thought it sucked that he didn't come out to Enter Sandman by Metallica like in the old ecw, but I don't think his current theme is bad. It's kind of grown on me. By the way, Sandman is not just a gimmick for Jim Fullington. What you see is what you get.

Exactly, it is hard to hate Sandman. Even if wwe tried to make him a heel(which wouldn't surprise me), he'd get cheered. Before there was Stone Cold Steve Austin, there was Sandman raising hell and drinking beer. He's the original. |

Yeah I love it. I'm also a fan of Finlay's gimmick.
If I didn't know better I'd swear his name is Finlay, and he loves to fight.

Sandman is the man in real life he's a dick in real life. i met him at the pearl street grill and brewery in buffalo where him and a ton of other wrestlers were walking around and signing autographs for all the fans eating there that paid for tickets, but the sandman just stayed at the bar and drank, refusing to sign for ppl, including a little kid with a baseball, who was really upset he wouldnt sign it. then i asked him to sign my raw world title belt and he laughed and wouldnt sign next to Kane, he was offended and then signed over my nameplate....definite bunghole |

It was a indi show and he fought with New Jack one sick ass match there tacks and stapples kanes and everything best indi match I ever saw. I took the stappler as I was at ringside new Jack dropped it like in frount of me on the ground I like bent over the barricade and grabbed it.
1 of the best nights in my life.
