Besides his debut. His face run was terrible. He was a great as a heel. When they turn him face again the thing with the rumble and the EC was great. Still say they should have let him win the Rumble. Del Rio could have beat him for the WM spot at a later time

Either the first mention of the Honk-A-Meter or asking if Rey Mysterio is The Batman.

Santino's feud with Ricardo. I liked that the first few "Wheel of Aggression" matches were centered around it. The matches were less about showcasing Del Rio, and more about highlighting Ricardo's disdain for Santino, with Del Rio just tagging along for the ride.

Santino's performance in the 2008 Rumble was short but hilarious. I also loved his tea party with Koslov.

I can see why people say heel Santino was better, but  this segment was hilarious! Plus the UK crowd was amazing. |

The tea party thing was the only thing I've ever found remotely amusing from him, and I credit that more to Kozlov and Sheamus. Oh, and his 'hometown hero' debut led, in storyline, to Robbie Brookside having a match against Vince McMahon at my first Raw, so that too, I guess. {Spoiler}Never understood the appeal of his Rumble/EC 'performances'. Literally anybody could lay down for 99% of the match, then appear for a face 'comeback' with a heel at the end. |

I always kind of felt bad for Santino. I think the dude busts his ass more than a lot give him credit for. I highly doubt that he would have gotten even 1/10th as far as he has with any other gimmick, especially his Boris Alexiev, which wouldn't have gotten him very far, despite all the effort he put forward.
Yeah, he's done some unbearable stuff in recent times. I've felt that he probably has less control over his character now since they see him as an appealing persona for kiddies, so they give him less and less creative stroke and it's telling to an extent. Nonetheless, as bad as he can be, I can't ever fully hate the guy because in 2008, he's probably the ONLY reason I wanted to watch Raw. And yes, he should have held the IC much MUCH longer; Regal, Punk and JBL had forgettable runs with the IC belt, and Santino could have easily held it till Mania where he dropped it to Rey. Instead...he became Santina. Ugh.

I loved the Santino show on youtube. Favorite moments were him chasing Ricardo backstage, the whole Yoshi vs Johnny Curtis storyline and the Kung Fu segment with Bateman and Kaitlyn. Oh and Glamarella for sure. Santino is one of my favorite guys in WWE.

That Tea Party was awful, but the crowd MADE that segment.
In any other town, it would have been met with near silence.

Honestly... I've never got much of Santino's humour. The Honk-a-meter was lame and I didn't find his "batman" comment to Ray to be that funny either.
I did enjoy his run with Beth though. They had really good chemistry together. My favourite moment was his fastest ever Rumble elimination.

Don't forget Santino, Hornswoggle, Yoshi, Tyson, Justin, and Curtis Axel chasing the Gooker because they wanted to eat him for Thanksgiving. |

That time he stole Lawlers Subway sandwich. This. Along with when he tried to do Melina's entrance and somehow tore his balls in half |
