The Italian Stallion: Santino Marella

ok, I'll be the first one to admit, I was 100% wrong about this guy. When he was doing his babyface underdog thing, I thought he was a worthless pile of crap. And he was. He was really bland and I cringed when he talked.

Now, all of a sudden he does a complete 180 as a heel. His character is so awesome and who would of thought this guy could talk. He's been hillarious with his one liners and insults the past weeks, but last night really impressed me. I really felt like management told him to go out there and talk. It didn't come off at all like some scripted promo. His delivery and expressions were spot on. And the one thing that really caught my attention was when he kept talking as Sandman came out. He didn't stop and let Sandman come to the ring first. He talked right through the entrance. "Who is this, I don't know this guy"

I'll admit, I'm a fan now. He's got something there. Now I'm not going to go all fanboy on him and say he's the greatest thing in the world, but I do think he's got a jump on a lot of guys based on what I've been seeing. I hope he only continues to improve.
