That might be pushing it a bit. The guy was great as a midcard heel when he first debuted, but that's as far as I ever saw him going.
World champion? Not a chance. I don't really remember a single Damien Sandow match that really stood out.
I saw him and Cody Rhodes as potential World champions after the Money in the Bank ladder match. Really thought those 2 could have entered the Main Event from that moment on or soon after.
