I love the way only one side of the argument can be tired, Rob. "Santino sucks in the ring" is still a fresh thought, obviously, whereas "this is why you might think that," apparently isn't.
Besides, I'm not about to say the man is the next Shawn Michaels, or anything, but Santino is not that bad in the ring. His work in OVW reminded people heavily of Kurt Angle. He was working more of a shoot-style, with lots of submissions and suplexes. His work in the WWE has been that of a rookie.
I've never seen anything overly offensive from the guy in the ring, either. I've quite enjoyed his work with more capable wrestlers such as Chris Jericho, Val Venis, Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly (steps up from Chris Masters and squashes against Umaga).
