He doesn't suck though, nor was I using that as an excuse for him 'sucking'. Where's that strawman when you need him? I think the main complaint here is that he isn't consistantly funny which is a bit critical imo. I'm seeing people agree with the fact that he's funny and enjoyable on RAW but not on his shows. Seeing as how he's on television once a week and has an internet show once a week, this isn't all that surprising that he runs out of steam from time to time. The average comedian isn't on television once a week, nor do they adlib most of their acts (most of them. Some of them do). Seeing as how Santino is a professional wrestler, is performing on television at least once a week, and is getting such praise for his comedic work (until now I guess), I say he's doing pretty damn good.
