Santino Yay or Nay?

The gimmick's terrible. If he couldn't talk you'd all be shitting all over the gimmick. Well, I'm shitting on the gimmick because it's terrible. It's too obvious, unfunny and it tries too hard. I'll admit that he's what the target audience wants (IE: the Epic Movie/Will Ferrell/Shit like that crowd) but it certainly isn't the bullshit I tune into watch - and to each their own - but the gimmick will kill his career in the long run.

I've said it in the past - he'd make an EXCELLENT addition to the roster if he had a more serious gimmick (that isn't to say 100% serious, but he has to drop the cartoony/racist shit - just cut the gimmicked accent by half and make him act like he's worth a damn). But this gimmick is going to Venis him and he'll never be able to recover once they try to break him away.

If he wins the Women's championship he'll be a wrestling footnote and be the gimmick for the rest of his WWE - and possibly wrestling - career. If he gets out of this gimmick he could be a great addition to the upper midcard.
