Anybody else think Sandow isnt going to win when he cashes in?
 

Cole and JBL keep saying "Sandow's guaranteed to win", and you know what happens when that shit starts over and over......

JR: Barry Horowitz has never won a match.

Candido: he's so bad, he's never won a match

2 minutes later

Horowitz wins! Horowitz wins!

I guaran fucking tee Sandow cashes in MITB and loses.

Just like Percy Watson was going to be the face of the company by now?

If he does lose on his cash-in, it will be due to Cody Rhodes.

I think it's more likely that he'll lose the case in a match rather than fail the cash-in.

I think they'll save the "wasted MITB contract" scenario to turn heel someone who's not already heel.

I could imagine them having Christian win MITB and then lose when he cashes in because it would suit his fit-ridden tantrum antics of when he's heeling it up. Christian could then go a psychotic streak of destruction (random backstage Conchairtos) before he's stopped by Cena, Undertaker, HHH, Mark Henry, whomever.

i hate that shit unless the guy gets hurt or suspended. MITB shouldn't be treated like a title that can be won or lost.

I'm actually assuming Orton will be the one to lose.


I could see Orton cashing it in on DB after DB beats Cena, only to have DB beat Orton with a small package, and Orton flip his shit.

They've been hyping the "MITB winner is practically a lock to be champion" thing for the last few years and it hasn't mattered with the exception of Cena. No reason to put stock into it now. They just say it to keep people tuning in because it could happen at any time.

I can kinda see Rhodes winning the case though. Expecially if Del Rio retains.

I Hope Sandow Wins Cause He Is One Of My Favs

I think the most likely scenario is...

Cody def. Sandow for the case at SS.

Cody tries to cash in and Sandow causes a DQ that results in Cody losing to further their fued.

I would fucking love that!

That would be awesome.

As far as Sandow goes I really hope that he doesn't lose the case before cashing in, as a heel he has no reason to put it up for grabs against Cody.
It pisses me off when they book things like that, like when Rey won the rumble and put the spot up against Orton.

Yeah if anything I think Orton would lose it to start a heel turn but don't think either will or should.

Remember this thread

Lol it was the #2 face of the company

He isn't?

Well I said he was going to be so it has to be true

I swear he is

every episode of Raw he's on it doing something and Michael Cole is real bitchy towards Daniel Bryan for some reason

Cody will interfere during the cashin causing him to lose.

After finally watching this weeks Smackdown I say no. Del Rio is champ and appeared in one segment. Sandow ran that show from a great match with Orton to tremendously funny backstage segments and him and Cody ending the show. They're giving this guy the ball and he's running with it; they realize that he's such a good heel that he got an as of lately personality-defunct Cody Rhodes over as a face and his segments and matches are good. I see him having a Ziggler length run with the case and can see a post WM cash in.

Yeah I see Orton being more likely to fail than Sandow if it was a possibility. Similar to Cena, failing to cash in won't affect his star status and the idea of him flipping out and just thrashing Bryan would be a great way to turn heel.

As a heel theres no reason for him to announce when hes cashing in, he has till next July, I'd actually like to see him cash in at 'Mania or something, give him a long steady build and get a big moment to use as a stepping stone to legitimate main event status rather than Raw or a lesser PPV.

I just don't see anyone cashing in at Wrestlemania, I'd love to see it one day but I don't think it'll happen for a while.

I dunno, Bryan talked about doing it last year and they keep hyping the idea of a Wrestlemania moment, if they're intent on creating a new main eventer that would be a huge moment, and the fact it's a while off lets them build the guy up to the point where he's established in the fans eyes as a credible champion rather than just someone picking the bones.

With the World title existing to let the WWE title have the main title focus, anything's possible. Hell, it gave them the chance to take a hyped up World Title match into WrestleMania and let it go 18 seconds so a surprise cash-in isn't really out of the question.

I don't think it would make much sense for Sandow to lose if he cashes in. I can see him having a very short reign with the World Title if he does win it, but I definitely hope he wins the title. Either that or lose the briefcase in the meantime. It wouldn't be his choice to defend it. Vickie Guerrero would probably force him to or something. Cody Rhodes would then cash in honorably and get a short run with the title.

This at least Cody has been a proven champion in the past although it was as a heel but regardless Sandow should be given a IC title run before he starts main eventing on a regular basis.

Quite agree... Sandow is good, but not main event level yet. I do like his promos, though.

SILENCE! I am about to speak to you slack-jawed ingoramusses!

You're welcome.

Sandow is and has been my fav wrestler in the WWE next to Heath Slater for ages.

What exactly about Damien Sandow isn't "main event ready"? While still "gimmicky" has he shown more and more emotions and depth. He is no longer just a shallow dickhead who uses big words.

Sandow's promo's are the best in the company in my opinion. Doesn't rely on "worked shoots", improvises with the crowd, doesn't get all flustered. He's a classic old school years.

That's the thing though, they've got till next July before he has to cash it in.

I don't get why people think he should hold the IC belt before the WHC. This board is a haven for people ripping that the IC title is meaningless and useless, so what's the sense of possibly killing Sandow's momentum?

The WHC is the IC title.

In that case, at least it looks better.

I was distracted a bit during the end of Smackdown - did we actually see Sandow get the briefcase out of the water? If Sandow doesn't make an appearance with the case on this week's SD (which I haven't read the spoiler for) it could be an opportunity for someone else to start a program with Sandow with a "Hey, look what I found" moment.

Kind of like Jim Duggan finding the TV title in a dumpster.

Whats his current finisher anyway?

He still uses Terminus (necktie neckbreaker), but he's also been using The Silencer (side effect) and has won a match with a Full Nelson Slam.

I agree that Damien Sandow is great and disagree that he needs to be IC Champion first. Sandow holding the title for the sake of it won't help him or the title. The World Title is essentially an upper mid-card title these days anyway.
