Damien Sandow had a lot of momentum in WWE, as he organically got over with WWE fans thanks to his Damien Mizdow gimmick with The Miz. While he never found a lot of success in the company, that never stopped him from holding true to himself. It appears that Sandow had no intention of kissing Vince McMahon’s posterior.
Damien Sandow had a lengthy run as a WWE superstar that saw many brushes with greatness. In his two combined runs with the company, Sandow worked there for a decade.
The ex-WWE Superstar was on the cusp of greatness as he won the Money in the Bank briefcase in 2013 but unfortunately – he fell down the totem pole very fast after failing to cash in his briefcase.
While speaking to Dutch Mantell, Damian Sandow talked about his time in Vince McMahon’s company. Sandow admitted that he didn’t have many interactions with Vince McMahon despite working there for so long. That said, Sandow had no intention of ever kissing Vince McMahon’s posterior.
“Nope [on if he talked much with Vince McMahon]. Here’s the thing. I’m on the man’s TV show, right? He has made his decision. Now, there were maybe two or three times where I’ve had to, and this was over the course of five years, where I was like, ‘Hey, could I talk to you about this, right?’ And one of the times Miz was there. The man’s busy; he is worried about shareholders and all that stuff. This is what I’m doing. I need to go and make this a grand slam.
Now, again, he’s got enough people lining up to kiss his posterior. Number one, I’m not going to do that, and number two, if my work does not speak for itself, then okay. I don’t want to have to do anything.”
Many fans will always believe that Damien Sandow was one of WWE’s biggest missed opportunities as he had all the tools to succeed in the company. The company even scrapped world title plans for Sandow. Regardless, it is unlikely Sandow will ever return to WWE again by the looks of it.
