I remember the Filthy Animals towards the end of WCW being pretty over. They were all midcarders back then.

Santino. Guy could lose 100 matches in a row and be over.

That's because Santino is amazing at whatever shitty role they give him.

Kinda makes me wish they would give him a role where being over could work to the benefit of everyone including the company.

They had that opportunity with him in the chamber last year.. I'm a santino mark.. Never flustered on the mic, always sharp, witty, funny, and entertaining. Guy works a good match and can seemingly work with anyone.. Plus he is uber over.. I think it wouldn't have been the worst to put the heavyweight belt on him.. Maybe not pre-mania but deff after.. He had the right momentum.. As far as older era wrestlers being over, I haven't seen the name Norman smiley in here yet.. I remember loving him in wcw

Wouldn't Santino fall into the "He's great but shouldn't be anywhere near the main event" category?

I had the idea a while back for someone like William Regal to become an on-screen mentor to Santino and teach him how to actually fight. Then have him come back after months of training vignettes (Which would probably be comedy gold. I mean... Regal and Santino. COME ON.) and have him slowly actually be able to beat people's ass in the ring like in that video all while still being a massive idiot once the match is over.
You get to keep the goofy charm that makes people love him while actually having him contribute as a wrestler too. |

I like how Santino did the Russian in OVW, the Italian in WWE.... but he is actually a Canadian with no accent at all.

Such a good time for the sport.. Just think about the invasion.. People like ddp Eddie Benoit malenko and Kidman to name a few getting those massive pops when they debuted in the wwf.. The pop ddp and Eddie got were nothing short of spectacular.. Here is guys from the "competition" getting stone cold/ the rock like pops.. Insane

The Steven Richards/Right To Censor gimmick was mad over. At least to me, the whole premise was fuckin' good.

In Rey's case no since he was booked like shit as World Champion both times he had the Big Gold Belt. They didn't even call it the World Heavweight Championship when he had the belt because he wasn't a heavyweight. Also he was WWE Champion for less than an hour.
