527.01.2024Kynarion6.0What makes a great wrestler can come down to various factors, but for me, most important is entertainment value. Someone could be the greatest technical wrestler in the world but if they can't make me FEEL something, anything, then they're worthless to me. Sandman is one of the top examples for me, no, he could never be accused of being masterful in the ring but when he has as much presence as he had in his prime, he didn't need to be. I never go into a Sandman match expecting a five star classic, but it's rare I go away disappointed. I'd be remiss to neglect to mention some of the great feuds he'd had in the past, most notably with Raven, always fun to revisit

1117.11.2023JediSaiyanMaster12037.0Maybe Sandman was much better when watching him in his ECW days, but I feel like he's, somewhat, aged overtime. Not saying his work was bad, but I feel like there's better hardcore wrestlers out there. Don't get me wrong, he's had great feuds that still hold up and was a cool gimmick and promo (for his time), but I feel he comes up short compared to other guys.

2210.07.2023JoshB6.0Sandman was a master of getting the most, from very little. A limited wrestler in ring, his promos aren't anything too special. But boy was he over. One of the faces of ECW. Most reigns as ECW champion. One of the greatest entrances of all time. And his beer drinking, ciggy smoking gimmick of a man that would punch you in the local pub was very believable. Not the typical wrestler I'm drawn too, but I am a fan of Sandman. 6.5/10.

2528.05.2023Giantfan19805.0Hardcore wrestler extraordinaire! Did great in ECW but kinda got exposed in the WCW and later WWE with a bit of a limited ring skill when hardcore prop spots weren't involved.
2621.05.2023Mister Cute Face6.0I guess he did what he did well. But what he did wasn't terribly interesting or original. Dude was certainly tough as nails and put himself through a lot. He also wasn't bad and had some matches that were really fun to watch.
2721.05.2023Leth996.0I admittedly don't really have watched many of his ECW matches. In the microphone he was....drunk. In WCW he was better than I remember tbh. In WWECW he was super limited by the booking. In TNA he was okay-to-bad
2808.05.2023tmxicon3.0Sandman had his gimmick going for him and that was about it. He was never good and probably loaded for the majority of his matches. He tried displaying some athleticism at times, but it was pretty clear he didn't have much in him.
2926.04.2023benh23.0Sandman was awful. Got massively over in ECW thanks to a cane, a cigarette and a whisky bottle. Couldn't work a lick which exposed him massively once he was out of Heyman's creative control.

3409.02.2023Wrasslinfan6197.0I would've given him A 8 if he was A good worker. But other than that, he had A great entrance and was involved in some great stories. ECW was his peak of course, but man what A time he had in ECW.

3702.12.2022Conquistador371.0Yah yah, cute entrance n all. Sure, he helped pioneer a whole new era of thinking but... it was in regards to his pre match ritual alone. Went out there half loaded & mostly baked, while wearing what he passed out in last night plus some sneakers. Was usually falling all over the place just looking... bad. This is literally only one rung up from Abdullah the Butcher. Not my thing, I like actual wrestling.
3802.12.2022Enriquepollazzo8.0The greatest entrance in the history of non WWE or WCW wrestling. EPIC singalong entrance to Enter Sandman. Then ...cane shots. Which was fine. He was so stiff and not athletic on moonsaults and shit I didn't want to see them.

4216.09.2022face painted legend8.0One of the guys who epitomizes Heyman's ECW philosophy of showing strength's and hiding weaknesses. The beer swilling, cigarette smoking, cane swinging, fight picking, hardcore icon persona got over to the point that he really didn't have to wrestle. All he had to do was crack a beer can on his head, hit somebody with a kendo stick, the whole routine, and that's all the people needed to see from him. He didn't need to be a good worker or have 100 moves in his moveset. I also think he had one of the top 5 entrances of all time. Enter Sandman is like 5 minutes and something seconds, and sometimes it'd play at least twice before he ever got to the ring, and the fans sang it at the top of their lungs the whole time eating it up.
4314.09.2022Leon Tarantino7.0Whether you love him for his ability to entertain us or hate him for y'know his lack technical ability, The Sandman sure knows how to get positive reactions from the crowd.And while I can't give him above an 8 since I don't think he is y'know a good wrestler I still love the man to death

5425.10.2021OnlyHalfTheEffinShow8.0Probably an all-time great when it comes to brawling. He's no technical masterclass but one can't deny the enjoyment of singing Enter Sandman aloud while he makes his entrance, or the viscous beatings he'd lay out courtesy of his Singapore cane. People also seem to forget that Sandman holds the record for most reigns with the ECW world title, topping the list at 5 reigns in total. That itself is no easy feat and is deserving of praise.

5728.06.2021Kung6.0Look, was Sandman any more than an entrance? No. But that's what makes him so memorable. In fact, I can't name anyone who had a cooler entrance than ECW's Hardcore Icon. The only thing that keeps him from getting a higher score is that he only worked that well in ECW. His stuff in WCW and WWE ECW just didn't work for me.

6210.03.2021XXDoubleHHXX4.0Not a good wrestler but who needs wrestling ability when you have charisma, beer, and a sick ass theme song.
6327.02.2021Caas1.0It's a 0 for Sandman pretty much across the board, but I like to give credit where it's due, and Sandman managed to carve out a niche that saw him wildly overachieve in pro-wrestling. Sandman is proof that sometimes all that a wrestler needs is a cool entrance to be considered memorable.

6628.01.2021NighthawkN6.0Very good at working a crowd, and a reasonable brawler, but his wrestling skills were well below average in my opinion.
6709.01.2021CodyHawk8.0Hard to hate on Sandman. He is one of the sloppiest wrestlers I have ever seen, but damn that guy can work a crowd. Bolstered by a terrific character and an even better entrance; Sandman's undeniable legacy of cool in ECW, as well as his feuds with folks like Tommy Dreamer and Raven allow him to continue drinking and caning his way through arenas to this day. A shame his WWE run couldn't have lasted longer. It doesn't seem to be remembered fondly, but from what I recall he was positioned in a featured role much like The Boogeyman was at the time. Even watered down, The Sandman was still popping crowds then just like he does today.
6821.12.2020Old ride long line5.0The guy is burnt out and it? s ultimately why he never went anywhere after his ecw run. He had the name and reputation coming into the wwe to do big things and we all new who he was but I? m guessing he never got a good run because he really was that nuts and unreliable. He? s a legend in hardcore circles but let? s be honest there? s 100 guys who did that style of wrestling better and for longer. Nothings of his after ECW is worth rewatching.
6907.11.2020qveenovhell2.0His whole thing was his entrance. In the ring he's frequently painful to watch, and not just because of his reliance on kendo sticks. A lousy wrestler with a stupid gimmick that he leaned on for far too long after its novelty had expired.

7214.10.2020Killerk78.0I would of given 10 too Sandman but after his Surfer Gimmick in early ECW hell no, i never enjoyed wrestling and as a kid i loved The Sandman he was the guy that got me into pro wrestling today, if the Sandman was never around i would not be a loyal superfan too wrestling, His beer drinking and smoking / HC style was good, not the best in ring wrestler but he made it up with betting someone down with a kendostick.
7309.09.2020Sagasta7.0 
7413.08.2020Ma Stump Puller3.0He's a entrance. That's it. Heyman gets overrated at times, but I have to give him a ton of credit for getting Sandman over despite him being pretty shit at wrestling and completely reliant on hardcore matches to even go, made even worse by him getting himself drunk or worse before a match. He's one of the symbols of the more trash brawling side of ECW that many like to glean over. He's not a good promo, and there's no resemblance of ring psychology or anything. Just terrible.
7501.07.2020ZestyZuluWarrior2.0The Sandman is the type of wrestler that does many crazy things so it distracts you from the fact he is an absolute dogshit in the ring. He can't sell to save his life nor can he smoothly complete one wrestling maneuver but at least he busts himself open with a can of beer during every entrance!

8110.11.2019JokeyZockey7.0Der Sandman ist und bleibt einfach Wrestling-Kult. Er war nie ein guter Worker, aber das war in der ECW und besonders in Bezug auf seinen Charakter vollkommen egal. Dafür war sein Charisma in seiner Prime absolut Bombe, wenn die ersten Akkorde von ''Enter Sandman'' anliefen wurde jede Crowd sofort laut! Seine ganze Aufmachung mit der bereits erwähnten Musik, sein Aussehen und sein Verhalten beim Entrance allein mussten einen einfach mitreißen. Ich kann mich zwar an kein Match des platinblonden Irren erinnern, aber eine Sache wird für immer in Erinnerung bleiben: Der Entrance bei One Night Stand 2005, einer der besten Momente der (jüngeren) Wrestling-Geschichte kein Zweifel! Eine Wertung ist schwierig: Wrestlerisch wahrscheinlich mit viel Wohlwollen 4 Punkte, aber für alles andere kann man durchaus höher gehen, dementsprechend wurden es am Ende 7 Punkte. ''Exit light! Enter night! Take my hand! We're off to Never-Neverland! ''
8225.09.2019zephyr4.0Let's get the obvious thing out of the way first: Sandman was *awful* at wrestling. But despite that, his gimmick and mannerisms got him over as one of ECW's biggest stars which has to count for something.
8309.08.2019KyleEnjoysWrestling5.0I know that Sandman is pretty bad, but there's something about him that I can't help but to find appealing. And I typically hate wrestlers who can only go the hardcore stuff. When I think of the face of ECW, I don't think Taz or RVD or Sabu or Foley or Funk or Dreamer... the first face that pops in my head is Sandman's. He was a man of the time & the environment. His three way against Funk & Stevie is very memorable. And his entrance was always a highlight.
8427.06.2019Excellence of Execution3.0Zu seinen besten Zeiten einer der geilsten Einmärsche. Enter Sandman, Jogginghose, Kippe im Maul, ein zwei Bier-Hülsen in und anschließend an den Kopf geschraubt. Quasi so etwas wie eine Kneipenschlägerei mit dramatischer Overtüre. Der Sandman war quasi der berüchtigte Dorf-Schläger der ECW. Ihr wisst schon - der Typ, mit dem sich keiner anlegen will, aber über den jeder mindestens eine lustige Geschichte kennt. Das war die Aura vom Sandman. Hat aber außerhalb der ECW nicht mal zu 20% funktioniert. Zumal der rauhbeinige Charme und der Einmarsch über zwei Dinge nicht hinwegtäuschen können: Der Sandman ist schon seit geraumer Zeit ein Wrack und im Grunde genommen war er nie mehr als ein umjubelter Backyard Wrestler.
8521.06.2019ElPolloLoco3.0Sandman is a horrible wrestler, the kind whose matches will give you the time to go and buy a drink at the local indie show. But let Paul Heyman work his magic and he became insanely beloved despite being the same horrible wrestler as before. The reaction Sandman got during his entrances was absolutely unbelievable, especially considering even ECW fans knew what a trainwreck of a match and/or abysmal promo was sure to follow. Proof of this is his pathetic WCW run as Hak: removed from Heyman's care he was instantly revealed for the garbage wrestler he was, but at least he got a good paycheck. A massive overachiever for certain.

8923.11.2018Sebastian V6.0Sandman ist ein ganz schwierig zu bewertender Wrestler. Was das Charisma angeht, eine absolute Bombe. Kaum jemand zog solche Reaktionen, riss die Leute so von ihren Stühlen. Seine Characterwork war wirklich ganz großes Kino und auch ein großer Teil der Identität von ECW, weswegen er auch so wichtig für diese Promotion war und sich 9 Punkte verdient im Bereich Charisma. Allerdings muss man auch sagen, dass die ECW die einzige Liga war, in die er reinpasste mit seinen schwachen Fähigkeiten im Ring. Man muss zugeben, dass er gute Materialschlachten auf die Beine stellen konnten und durchaus brawlen konnte aber in Anbetracht seiner teils stärkeren, technischen Mängel reicht das zu nicht mehr als 3 Punkten. Am Mic finde ich ihn sehr verschieden. Teils wirkte das doch ziemlich lust und lieblos, teilweise konnten die Promos aber auch intensiv und wirklich gut sein. Deswegen 6 Punkte in dem Bereich. Alles in Allem 6 Punkte für einen Mann, der ein Stück weit zur richtigen Zeit am richtigen Ort war.
9016.11.2018RatingsMachine4.0The Sandman had a great entrance, one of the best in wrestling, but once the entrance was over, so was the show.
9104.11.2018jajt19894.0Thought he was garbage, yer he had a great entrance and entrance theme but after the music stopped it was like watching a car crash. If he didn't have a weapon of some sort he had no idea what he was doing.
9202.11.2018JEK 19914.0An icon of ECW. I was never a fan of this guy. Just a lousy wrestler that loved to be hardcore. No exciting moves. Hated his surfer gimmick he had. He smoked in the ring too.
9327.09.2018Oliver95x7.0Sandman war im Ring nie der beste aber er hatte Charisma. Sein Gimmick war ok aber auf jeden Fall der schlechteste der ECW Orginals.
9427.08.2018Bill7.0Sandman is a hardcore legend and icon. Best known for his work in ECW, Sandman was incredibly over. His in ring ability was limited, mainly because he used to come out to the ring pissed, which has made tallent like Sabu say he was hard to work with (although Sabu says he likes their matches). Sandman is great at selling, unsurprisingly not a great storyteller, and he has one of the best enterences ever. His matches are always fun and he is always willing to take bumps.
9508.07.2018DaWizWithAD3.0The prime example of Heyman's booking making a guy a much bigger deal than he had any right to be. Not a good wrestler, out of shape, bad promo, this guy never should have made it big in any era but low and behold, give him a stick and some Metallica he becomes one of the most over guys in ECW. I'll give him some credit though, he somehow whipped himself into much better shape than he ever was before when WWE got him so he was smart enough to try and get his last grasp at the big time to work, but it was never going to.

10002.04.2018Irishfbfan5184.0Once you get past the entrance, which was all time great, Sandman was far from a good in-ring performer. He was great for the ECW style, but would have, and did, fail in every other company he worked for.
