5 wrestlers whose characters thought they were smarter than you

#4 Damien Sandow

As the intellectual savior of the unwashed masses, Sandow often would inform all watching how intelligent he was

‘The intellectual savior of the masses,' the man that would apprise the audience ‘You're welcome' for being privy to his brilliance. While many would juxtapose him with ‘The Genius', portraying him as a proverbial ‘second coming' of that character, Damien Sandow actually joined the WWE's developmental system in Ohio Valley Wrestling under the moniker Aaron ‘The Idol' Stevens back in the late 2000s.

A trifle of time later, he was Idol Stevens on the Smackdown brand, but then he was released in 2007. They clearly didn't know how incredibly intelligent this person under their tutelage actually was.

He triumphantly returned to the developmental system in 2010, and by 2012 the intellectual savior had been made manifest. This incarnation did not deign to soil himself by competing against certain adversaries, as nothing would be learned by those watching. He held himself to a standard of which few could dream.

Whether as a singles competitor or with Cody Rhodes as part of Team Rhodes Scholars, Sandow certainly enlightened any and all within his presence.
