His backstage stuff is overdone and overstretched. He needs new material there.

In ring, he is golden. His antics are priceless (the snake jab? pure ROFL) and he's skilled (both comedically and physically) enough to be able to do "surprised by his own strength" bit without it seeming forced.

Santino is hilarious...and he's young. He'll be a bigger player as time goes on.

I've always wanted to see Santino Marella sneak out of the ring during a big Battle Royal, and then sneak back in at the end and win it all. The guy has a lot of in-ring talent, actually, so I wish he was treated a bit more seriously.

I still like to compare my ideal vision for him to an early Kurt Angle. A bit of a goof outside the ring, but inside, he brings the goods.

Santino is the only wrestler whose humor doesn't seem forced, or scripted. Half the time, I can't tell if what he says is written for him, or if he just improved it on the spot.

Everyone else just seems like they are trying too hard, where as santino sounds natural.

I havn't seen any of his face stuff tho, so whatever, that might suck. Definitely made to be a heel.

He's probably got more charisma while wrestling than any one else not name Chris Jericho.

Well, that's the thing. Santino is good. He definitely isn't one of the greatest mic men of all time. I mean, what? I think wrestling hasn't been up to par for several years so fans latch onto the guy that stands out a bit in comparison to the rest of the mediocre crap. WWE then realizes the appeal and oversells the shit out of the guy to the point where it's impossible to enjoy anymore.

Santino would have been jobless 5 months ago if it werent for them needing his comedy as a foil to the celebrity GM each week.

I wish they would fire him already.

I think it's enjoyable but to say he's one of the greatest mic men ever is overselling him a bit.

Go watch some old tapes of Macho, Jake, Honky, Buddy Rose, Dusty,
Rude, Foley, Eddie, Jericho, Angle, Rock, Austin, Nash, Hayes, Flair, and even Bret then get back to us.

Even if you put him at the end of that list, that's still a small crowd out of an awful lot of guys over the years.

Santino may not be the greatest ever but he's one of the most refreshing mic guys to hit the scene in the past few years. He's possessed of a natural charisma and above averate wrestling ability and has a lot to give to WWE and its fans.

I equate it to what they did to Cena actually. Alot of people don't see John Cena as a great mic guy but when he was doing his own stuff week after week, his mic work was all anybody talked about. Now that WWE writes his stuff, it comes across pretty awful most of the time. Same with Santino. It's hard to thrive when you're saying things that you can't relate with that's just not you. Promo writing is the worst thing to happen to prowrestling ever.

Well, obviously I didn't list everyone because I was pretty tired. If you notice, I left off Savage who is, in my opinion, the greatest mic man of all time. Others not listed include Perfect, Trips, Michaels, Hall, Vince, Goldust, Piper, Lou, Heenan, Shane Douglas, Billy Graham, Governor of Minnesota, Jarrett... you get the picture. Lots more. And I personally wouldn't add Santino onto that list yet. He's good but he's oversold by the IWC and he's shoved down people's throats too much by WWE. Another example of them seeing a great thing unfolding naturally so they ruin it via ridiculous storylines and over exposure.
