Marella will eventually get obsessive and turn heel, get wins over guys like Hacksaw, Super Crazy, and Val Venis then a month later starting to easily lose to guys like Jeff Hardy, and London and Kendrick and then be a HEAT regular jobbing to guys like Crazy, Hacksaw, and Val.

But he'll be entertaining for a minute until then. I'm not calling for the guy to get a huge push, but I'd just like to see it go in this direction.

Id say Albert (with all due respect) was the worst I-C champ of all time.

It's hard to show any potentially when any match you win is by roll up.

If 'ifs' and 'buts' were candies and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas. But guess what? They didn't. What we have now is what we have, and I'm glad they're at least trying to do something with it. I'm also glad that I might actually enjoy it.

Yeah, but you can't blame the fans for not taking to him when they introduced him in such a shitty manner, anymore than you can't blame someone for not appreciating the beauty and fragrance of a rose if someone's coverd it in diarrhea.

I don't really think his debut can be likened to diarrhea. It was 'shocking' and it was somewhat unique. I really don't see the beef with the debut.

Hotshotting a title (especially one that people have a lot of fondness for and are already angry about its treatment) is never a good idea. Fuck I didn't like it when they gave the Texas Tornado the IC title a couple months after his debut, and I was like 12 at the time.

People got behind Carlito after he won the US title on his debut. It can work.

That's because Carlito had the charisma backup to make it work. And at least he had weeks worth of vignettes to prepare you for him. I'm not denying Santino's skill, but he's blander than hell and can't work a crowd.

Also, Carlito won the title from an on-fire Cena, which shot him some instant heel-heat, and the crowds were roaring for Cena to get him back. Nobody cared to see Umaga go after the IC title, and he was barely involved with it for like a month after losing it.

True enough.
I was happy to see Santino win it, though, thinking that they'd actually start defending the title instead of Umaga (as I believe you said) 'sticking it up his ass'. That did happen, which was nice to see. |
