Does Santino Marella have main event potential?

Yes he can but I doubt he will.

I hate the whole "denouncing the gimmick" idea though (Sorry 'Noid).

I would have him just keep losing and be the comedy character but get fed up with losing matches and go train to fight. Maybe bring in some semi-famous legit fighter, throw in some comedy vignettes of Santino training for weeks. Eventually he has his big re-debut as a fighter and just tears someone apart all the while, just looking around shocked at his new found skills. Have him just keep the comedy gimmick and surprise himself and everyone else match after match.

I would love to see him keep the gimmick but still somehow be intimidating as hell in the ring. It's far from impossible and would be one of the more intriguing characters in wrestling.

Of course, this won't happen but it would be easy to pull off/awesome.
