Am I the only one who is fed up of watching Santino being squashed each week?

[Hitman84]

Discuss.

I am, however, aware that this might be the 56842547193798860061st thread defending Santino and advocating that he should be pushed, I just want to know why he keeps getting squashed all the time. They could do some seriously good stuff with him, especially if they were able to strike a decent balance between wrestling and his comedy. John Laryngitis anyone?

[TheChamp]

It's hard to believe when you see Santino every week and think "He was the guy Alberto Del Rio threw out to win the Royal Rumble this year." This worked for him when he was a heel, but I think they should at least tweak his character a bit.

No nig I am too

Probably. Be happy he is on the television still with time to speak.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, his 90's-era Jay Leno routine should be pushed to the top! Undefeated streak!

[Ice Cream Bar]

Santino doesn't even look Italian he looks like a Mexican

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Personally I'm just waiting for Santino to turn heel when snaps and becomes a badass submission machine.

[TheAdamEvansFan]

I am fed up. Same with Hornswoggle. Time to revamp their characters into serious contenders. I also liked Kofi when he went at Orton. Give Kofi a push, more Mic time.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Really think Hornswoggle could be a main event heel if one day he just snapped and became a badass submission machine.

What about a badass vending machine that only sells submissions?

Jay Leno is no Santino. Come on.

Did you take lessons on comprehension from Noid?

Maybe he sells italys.

[#1-norm-fan]

Santino could be not a jobber if they mix his comedy gimmick with this:

Because Santino is a fucking badass.

Sarcasm generally is determined by context. I wouldn't try pulling the sarcasm card until you learn to use it.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I'm thankful for Supreme in this thread.

You mean like saying Santino is no Jay Leno when obviously the professional comedian has the edge in comedy...

I would post a definition of sarcasm but... come on, really?

[whiteyford]

Supreme missed the key factor though, he needs a mask to go with the badass submission machine heel turn. But i think Santinos happy getting a regular paycheck for appearing on TV and wrestling 5mins if hes lucky and getting to plug his merchandise.

Aww! I shall call you king of the swerve.

Which was still replying to something else entirely.

Hmmm.

[#1-norm-fan]

But in all seriousness, Santino is currently funnier than Jay Leno.

Santino is used fine the w

He needs his mask back

Vending machine mask.

Santino's comedy routine worked best, IMO, when he was a weasel-like heel that somehow held the Intercontinental Championship. He got on people's nerves, but in a good way. It was funny watching him get beat up every week then. Now, it's becoming sad.

[Ice Cream Bar]

Sadtino

[TheChamp]

It was a major league mark-out momemt when everybody thought he was gonna win the Royal Rumble. I guess he's gonna be the WWE's Mikey Whipwreck.

[Ice Cream Bar]

I hate that and anyone who marked at that is a faggot. It completely ruined the end of the Rumble and almost tarnished it more than it has been the past few years.

[Captain of Fun]

How?

I dedicated a post to that very topic, my very first post on TPWW in fact. When you consider all of the other runners-up in the Rumble and their accomplishments, it does taint the event a bit.

[Lock Jaw]

Meh, Santino is fine where he is.

People get fed to him on Superstars, and he gets fed to people on Raw. All the while he stays incredibly over.

In a perfect world, though, he would still be part of a tag team with Vladimir Kozlov. I was down with the Santinozlov.

If you didn't laugh at that, your sense of humor is robotic.

[JimmyMess]

I like Santino and I'd like to see him have a fantastic run with the IC or US Championship.

[Wishbone]

Santino is by far the most over under-carder on the roster right now. While I'd like to see him get a push I honestly don't see a reason for it. The guy is so far gone due to crappy booking that no one from a mark's prospective would be able to take him seriously. He's basically Hornswoggle, but with the ability to take harder bumps.

[Dukelorange]

What? No. Can't believe I didn't call this out when you posted that.

Ok, I'm considering all the other runners-up, and still not finding anything tainted. If anything, that rumble ending stands out as better than most. When it gets down to the final two, you can pretty much guess with almost absolute certainty who is going to win.

The whole way that situation was set up and executed, made a lot of people think Santino might actually do it. Lot's of people had no idea what was going to happen. That kind of thing doesn't happen very often, in this day and age.

Secondly, and more importantly, no one gives a flying fuck about runner ups. Who here can actually name all the runner ups without looking it up. When have you ever seen a wrestler listing off his accomplishments in a promo, and saying he was a royal rumble runner up? It means jack all, ffs.

Finally, the royal rumble isn't some sacred event, which should be serious business at all times. It's still just pro wrestling for god's sake.

I laughed at the random slow motion ending after the "Son o ma gun" when it was shown on Raw. But that was unintentional.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

LOL @ The DAMN iNATOR Chat Bot calling other people's sense of humor robotic

now THAT right there is funny I'll tell you what

[Sixx]

Santino doesn't even look Italian he looks like a Mexican

He should wear a poncho and a sombrero, ride a lawnmower to the ring and be like "Yo, I'm Mexican now".

Pretty sure they did something like this with Kofi or some other negro.

[Kane Knight]

And since neither is particularly funny, I can't find myself disagreeing.

Do you think he minds if nobody takes him seriously? Without the so called "crappy booking" do you think he'd still even have a job in the WWE? I doubt that Boris Alexiev gimmick wouldn't have got him very far.

I'm sure there are a lot of people in TNA who wish they had Santino's spot.

Hell I'm sure there are enough current and former WWE guys who would love Santino's spot.

I've said it before: Santino is the Lanny Poffo of the modern age. And do you ever hear Lanny Poffo whining about having been misused or treated badly?

Aside from that, in the 23 Royal Rumbles before it, they had never pulled that particular trigger before. They had a number of guys do the "hide outside the ring" deal (Lawler and Nunzio spring to mind) and the idea was mentioned by a number of commentators over the years (I believe that Heenan suggested that Flair should hide under the ring, provoking Monsoon to accuse him of having done that in the past.)

When Del Rio's music was playing and Santino was crawling into the ring behind him, my blood froze for a second. The only thing on my mind at that point was "Oh my God, they finally did it." It was something over 20 years in the making and it was performed flawlessly. And the crowd ate it the fuck up. It had to be someone like Santino doing it; with Del Rio as the other guy, you had to have someone close enough to his level to make it looks like it might happen.

[Blakeamus]

I guess it was the FAN IN ME. I enjoyed that Santino was the suprising runner up. I was laughing til the very end. If you want to talk about ridiculousness in RR history try Macho Man attempting to PIN Yokozuna in the Royal Rumble and getting thrown over the top rope.

[BizarroKing]

Reminds me of that other guy that I was upset that he was jobbing each and every week...What ever happened to him? Oh right...

Those were awesome moments in wrestling history

[MoFo]

Rather have him as a comedy jobber than sirius Santino.

Dont you remember when he debuted and won the IC Title, guy sucked.

Only when he started acting camp and adopted the hammy Italian accent ppl took notice. Him and Maria were gold together, real funny. And Beth too.

Give him another woman.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Give him the Internets Title and Queen Leia.
