Santino's title run will likely be pretty exciting for the first month or so. But after a while of his limited wrestling ability and 2 dimensional character, I see people tiring of him. That's where creative should come in and make interesting feuds for him to hide his weakness, book to his strengths, and bring some value to the title. I mean, that is the whole point of creative isn't it? Booking to his strengths would be to have him compete only in short comedy matches that last under 5 minutes, and having him only win by roll-ups against guys high on the card, because any superstar that jobs to the cobra is going to look like a joke. Going this route, I can't see Santino holding the title for more than a month or 2.

Except in that he manages to get the dumbest gimmicks ever over through sheer strength of personality. Yes, he has four total moves. Who cares? The dude puts on a good show.

Santino will denounce his gimmick with a heel turn.

Did you... did you just compare Santino to Mick Foley? That's kind of- no, that's a HELL of a reach, don't you think?
