he has his moments. but it seems they take the easy way out in trying to make him funny, instead of just letting him be his funny self

Santino, like so many faces of yester-year, was awesome as a heel but just mediocre as a face.

This has been one of the MAJOR achilles heels for the WWE. They do a tremendous job of pushing heels but instead of building on that, they decide to take any semblance of a face pop (i.e. the casual fan cheering the awesomeness of said heel character), and turn them face.

what's crazy is that he had to edit that post because he didn't include the Rock

The WWE sort of jumped on him, and he's often working with a lot of ridiculous stuff. Considering how well Santino does with it, though, he's a genuine comedic talent. I think I first decided I wanted to like the guy when he almost made Vince crack up in his serious debut promo. "Do you speak English, Santino?" "...Si! Si!"

What I love about the mispronunciation gags is that Santino always does something -- an action, or throw in an extra word or something -- that rises it about stupidity.

Considering that he is a pretty good ring talent, I hope that he gets somewhere in this business.

Great bit at the end of a diva's match, where Santino tells King he thinks one of the teams was cheating, and then proceeds to grab his soda and throw it in his face before slinking off with King's "delicious Subway sandwich"...I believe it may have been during Santino and King's brief feud, or used as build-up to it.



Loved that shit, too...Santino rapping in protest to Stephanie about his "I.C. title" as he calls it...



Now you may wonder why that last one is necessary. Well, simply put, Santino's rap skills are not nearly shown off as long and as well as they could be in the 2nd vid, so there's another almost 3 minutes worth.

I loved Santino rapping on William Regal. Regal's reaction is fucking priceless -- as are all Regal's reactions. I heard about that Battle Royal clip, but I never actually watched it until now. Awesome.

I do agree that Santino needs to go somewhere, though. He needs to develop some in-ring crediblity. He's got the wrestling ability, and he's got the entertainment thing completely down. It's time to put the package together.

I swear everyone now and then when Satino actually has a match, he shows little bits of brilliance and almost a push. He would be getting beaten badly, then all of a sudden Santino will pull out and move and surprise himself. The WWE should go with this more, build him up as a legitimate threat to the United States title. He could still keep his 'funny' promos but make him a strong credible in ring performer aswell.

I think Santino is hysterical. I always laugh at his segments.
What others have said though..I would like to see him get a push to develop his in-ring talent. Every time I see him wrestle, he just gets destroyed.

He's definitely got the skill. It's always surprising just how athletic the guy is because of the character he plays. All they need to do is have a legend appear in a backstage segment with Santino, and have them offer to "train" Santino. Someone with Marella's sort of style would work. I actually think Ricky Steamboat or Dean Malenko would be good choices.

Then have Santino start kicking ass.

Come on guys, how could you not love Santino's take on Rey Mysterio's theme music? That was priceless. "You sir are nota da Batman! I'm Rey Mastrio! Boo yaka boo yaka!"

Marella IS...
The funniest thing in a LONG time in the WWE... But I agree with everyone else above... Where is the wrestling ability... He's def got some... But he is NEVER in the ring on TV...

I thought he was just injured there for a while and they kept using him because the crowds love his comedy but... Come on Vinny, ya got to develop him in the ring more... I got my Ferrari red shirt... i want more Santino... One of the reasons i continue to watch RAW every week...

I think it's enjoyable but to say he's one of the greatest mic men ever is overselling him a bit.

Go watch some old tapes of Macho, Jake, Honky, Buddy Rose, Dusty,
Rude, Foley, Eddie, Jericho, Angle, Rock, Austin, Nash, Hayes, Flair, and even Bret then get back to us.

Even if you put him at the end of that list, that's still a small crowd out of an awful lot of guys over the years.

Santino may not be the greatest ever but he's one of the most refreshing mic guys to hit the scene in the past few years. He's possessed of a natural charisma and above averate wrestling ability and has a lot to give to WWE and its fans.

He's funny and all, but I can't help but think that he'll never make it past mid-card hell where he gets used as fodder for comedy angles, and someday way down the line, he may have an outside shot at the US or IC title again, but I think that will probably be where he would peak, if he hasn't already.

I think the dude has got a better chance at the IC/US Title than he ever really did.

Let's face it. Santino's comedy is what's keeping him in the WWE. He's on RAW every week, usually in the most entertaining part when the Guest Hosts are featured, doesn't have to take alot of bumps since his matches are mostly comedy matches, and is pretty over. Santino has it pretty good.
