NienNunb posted:I liked Sandow a whole lot back in the day It was funny. Like, the dude who does impressions gimmick is a sign of near career death, and that turned out to be the case here, but I liked his take on it. He'd be Damian Sandow, self-important and condescending dickhead, only wearing a cowboy hat and calling himself Townes van Zandtdow or some poo poo and that was the impression. No stupid voice or half assed attempt to copy their vocal idiosyncrasies, just Sandow in a hat sounding pissy and condescending before getting his butt kicked.

flashy_mcflash posted:Didn't he have like 900 gimmicks in FCW before being called up as Sandow? That should be a clue right there to just let him stick the gently caress to what he was doing that finally got over. Even in WWE, as soon as he did that "I'm not Mizdow anymore" promo he plummeted to the bottom. To be completely fair, not only had he at that point been completely emasculated by the Miz, in that very same I'M MY OWN MAN promo he started doing the passive-aggressively-mimicking-you thing and within, like, two weeks he was Macho Mandow. I'm skeptical about how well a Firey Babyface Damien Sandow turn would've gone over, but it's not unfair to say he didn't get a chance.

El Generico posted:In wrestling you're supposed to base your character on yourself turned up to 11. Aron Rex is Aron Stevens turned down to a 2, and instead of that being a base to build something on, there's just nothing else. Also worth remembering is his stint on Up Up Down Down, which happened during his latter days with WWE. While everyone was being themselves and made the show entertaining because of it, Sandow decided to be a terrible rapper and constantly chime in with his rhyming skills. It was unbearable. It soured some people and removed some goodwill because if this is what Sandow was like without corporate breathing down his neck, maybe we didn't need to see him being himself.

I have a feeling that an American Badass gimmick might have been able to revive the Damien Sandow character.

The logical thing to do would be to go from the comic "snobby super genius" persona to a slightly more serious master manipulator gimmick. I thought for a long time that was what they had planned. Instead he does whatever he's doing now. It's a shame.

I HAVE SOME TNA NEWS! That "don't file a change of address so creditors can't find us" thing sure is working out well: http://www.sescoops.com/american-express-moves-for-judge-to-rule-against-tna-by-default-in-debt-case/ Also: See what TNA's last Amex bill looked like!

grack posted:After reading that article I had to go check for myself, but yes, according to the Tennessee Secretary of State, Actually, that's the current & correct address of Impact Ventures, which is what the company goes by now. The debt was taken out by TNA Entertainment, which became inactive in June.  The principal office address was their old office address before they moved. If Bix is still around, maybe he could tell us why TNA Entertainment LLC is different from Impact Ventures LLC & why they're both different from Aroluxe Media LLC, which took the assumed name of "TNA" in May, then cancelled it in August?

dsriggs posted:But usually when a company changes names, they keep the same business record, like the WWE for example. Publicly and privately owned companies are subject to different requirements. You'll notice that WWE's detailed business history in Tennessee starts in early 2000 and their IPO was in October of 1999. "TNA Entertainment, LLC" and "Impact Ventures, LLC" are essentially private holding companies created for the purposes of running the actual wrestling business by the Jarretts and then Dixie Carter. Same ownership, same business being conducted, just a different name. That also means they can't escape liability for all of their lawsuits with a name change. grack fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Nov 26, 2016 |

Wait, does that mean the "TNA" brand name is no more? Because I'll take that victory.flashy_mcflash posted:Didn't he have like 900 gimmicks in FCW before being called up as Sandow?
