LMAO!! This is actually the first glimpse I've had of what Triple H was like in WCW...I think. I mean, I didn't know who he was till he went to the WWF/E. The only name I heard of him going under in WCW was Terra Ryzin and I hear that one didn't go too well either. At least they kinda used his real name in this vid.

Looking at it, this was more of a precursor for his 'Blue Blood' gimmick the WWE stuck on him back in the day. I really can't see Santino's gimmick in this one at all. Triple H played a pompous Frenchmen, which actually reminded me more of Rene Dupree or Silvan Granier.

It's the accent.

His accent sounds too much like Santino's and the words he is using fits Santino to a tee.

If only Big Daddy V was King Koopa and kidnapped Maria.

I'm sure that RVD could supply a flower that allowed him to shoot fire.

Pfft, that never happened.

Just like he never jobbed to Warrior and he never wrestled in mud.

Wasn't he in WCW twice with 2 different names? Jean Paul and Terra Ryzin?

I'd pay to see him bounce off turtle shells.

Seriously, I'm just waiting for Marella to show up with a red cap that says "M." Or for him to dress Maria up as Mario. The guy was hilarious in his match with Jeff Hardy this week.

*Jeff gets the fans clapping in anticipation for the lock-up.*

*Santino waves to the crowd because he thinks the clapping is for him.*

:lol:

Santino = Mario
Carlito = Luigi
Maria = Peach
Big Daddy V = King Bowser
Jeff Hardy = Toadstool
Big Dick Johnson = Wario
Rey Mysterio = Yoshi

Then you can interchange the minor characters each week.

And also, Santino & Carlito need to start using turtle shells as weapons. That's heelish shit right there. Santino must also describe what he does to Maria's "pipes" with Super Mario sound effects done in the Italian accent.

OWW won't tell you HHH was Terra Ryzing. Hell, you have to go to WrestleCrap for that info.

Hornswoggle seems groomed for the role of a Koopa Trooper. Finlay as a Koopa Kid?

By the way, if the WWE literally did turn the WWE into a Maria Bros. parody, ratings would go way up.

They could go way back and have Mark Henry stand on top of the Titantron and throw barrels as Santino climbs up ladders to get to Maria.
