Santino Marella: Sitcom Star?
From PWInsider:
AOL.com's InsideTV section is reporting that WWE will begin shooting a "sitcom" based around Santino Marella for WWE.com, with the idea of pitching it to networks. The article featured comments from Marella, noting they would be filming three episodes "next week" and that Vladimir Kozlov and Beth Phoenix will co-star. http://insidetv.aol.com/2010/01/26/w...arella-sitcom/ ![]() Last edited by Xero; 01-26-2010 at 11:51 AM. |

There's no harm if they just run it on WWE.com. It'll be like a bigger version of Santino's Casa. They're pretty crazy if they think it'll get picked up by any networks, though.

This is a stupid idea. Santino is hilarious, but only in small doses like the few minutes he gets every week. He's probably funny backstage, but will wrestling fans care about him outside WWE regular programming in a starring role?
I'm happy WWE recognize his talent, but too much Santino might be overkill. I'd progressively give him a bit more tv time over the next couple of months and see how it turns out and where it goes. I think every WWE side project has turned out to be crap. |

Santino actually has some sly, clever humour to him. If they allowed him to tap into that, it could be alright.
But this is WWE, so we're looking at 30 minutes of poop jokes and Hornswoggle cameos. |

Personally I can't stand Santino...I wish Owen Hart was still alive so that he could give that bastard the "Stone Cold Crusher" piledriver and break his damn neck.

Fathers are overrated,I bet his wife was suckin Vinces dick behind his back for years before Owen found out and then Vince had the equipment magically "fail" so he wouldn't find out their secrets

What else is Santino going to do?
This is a fine idea. |

You know, I have this crazy idea that if you actually focus on your main product that it would be able to attract more viewers.

Santino won't help them attract more viewers. Just let him have this, because it will inevitably fail.
Then we will all be right back where we started. |

True. And I'm not saying that Santino can attract more viewers, I'm just saying that instead of projects like this they could put the time and energy into the main product.
With that said, after this news, I'm expecting John Cena's Rap n' Wrestling cartoon to be announced sooner than later. |

Now if we can all forgot about the XFL and the body building thing they used to build up Lex Luger... I think this thing MIGHT have half a chance.
Carelli is a talented performer. If WWE wants him to be a comedy star, then they can atleast give him the proper platform. |

So I take it that this is merely creative trying to find something for Kozlov, Santino, and Beth to do before they all inevitably get future endeavored?

This is weird because if it is a hit on US television (no matter how unlikely), then surely they'd all leave wrestling to focus on their new 'careers'. If it tanks, then it's just another horrible Wrestlecrap adventure that was doomed to failure from the begining and they'll all get released.
