The only problem with this is that a couple of years down the line he's bound to return to comedy, which then makes everything he said a load of bollocks.
I don't even think they need to make Marella completely serious. He just needs a little credibility in the ring. Outside of the ring, guys like Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Edge and even The Rock had comedic personas.

I mean, he's already doing well for the role he has. He's a two-time IC Champion, and the performer became Miss WrestleMania (I know that's not something to really brag about). My point is, for a loser, he wins a lot.

Can't they just have him allude to training with his martial arts friend, Roberto, and have him start mixing his MMA stuff into his matches?
