I didn't hate it at all. Santino came out had a reunion with Beth, did a comedy spot and eliminated himself. Harmless.

If something is wildly out of touch and out of date 10 years ago, bringing it back in 2020 while you're trying to present yourself as this progressive led organization for women really does not make the "continuity logic" of it matter. Also, they put in Santina over Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, Sasha, etc which is absurd. From what I’ve heard, Banks might be injured again. Royce and Kay aren’t even in the United States right now. Is the thing with Royce/Kay because they haven't been booked in months or what's going on? I haven't seen anything on that. Still, they could have booked like a thousand other different women if they needed to that weren't this.

It could've been worse. At least it wasn't like the '17 Women's MitB match, where a man literally handed the briefcase to a woman.

I haven’t heard about any dissatisfaction with their push or lack thereof on their part, or any heat with the company.

Well, I was hoping for equality's sake this year a man entering the women's rumble, but I was thinking more like Braun and less like Santino...

WWE: We’re all about the Women’s Evolution, so here’s an outdated crossdresser gimmick from the Divas Era! And why does that bland Barbie doll Kelly Kelly keep getting these guest appearances? Because she's still a recognizable "legend" that gets pops. She comes in to pop the crowd, does some stuff, and gets tossed.

I haven’t heard about any dissatisfaction with their push or lack thereof on their part, or any heat with the company. It could be something as simple as the WWE letting them go home to be with family with the Australia fires going on, since they've got no plans right now.

I did kinda dread when Santina came out cause WWE tends to make comedy spots go on forever. Santina’s was a quick reunion with Beth and then eliminated himself. Could it have gone to someone else sure... but it’s not like he hung around for 15 minutes or eliminated anyone. So meh

It's not even approaching my thing, but I hope that since they did the gag once, that's it. There is no lingering "why not-", no reason to go back to the well. Band-aid's off, and we don't need any repeat of this gimmick again. In other words, I'm sure Santina will appear in the women's battle royal at 'Mania in a year or two.

This is like the 'you got jelly in my peanut butter' but instead both flavours are transphobic trash fires and the combination is somehow even worse than the fiery trash that made it.

There are people that still don't think there is a problem with industry attitudes to women's wrestling and this company literally sent a man to do a woman's job.
I would almost find it acceptable if he had been absolutely MURDERED by the women's roster, but I wasn't watching, that shit happen?

I suspect this might have gone over better a year ago when WWE was still pretending they cared about the women because Ronda was around. I didn't see it but given the way they've treated the women's divisions this year it probably didn't help the perception that the only reason they pushed women at all was Ronda.

No, just stood there while Beth and Natalya stared daggers at him then he pulled out the Cobra and jumped out of the ring. Being fair I really doubt Santino can take a bump, but that's pretty much an extra reason not to do it.

The problem with "But it was just a fun nostalgia spot don't be an offended cuck baby" is that it's not funny or nostalgic, Santina was always awful and unfunny.
