Hot (hometown) crowd, Santino taking a beating but keeps getting back up, epic giant swing, great underdog victory, some good Santino comedy. That was one of the most fun matches of the year. It's probably not a MOTY candidate but it was defiantly one of the most fun matches I've seen in years. Welcome back Santino!

I'm glad there's a real star appearing on RAW again.

Still wish he'd come back as a serious Martial Artist - would help promote his gym more; lose the accent, get serious & become a Taz-style submission machine.

Nobody would buy Santino as a serious (non gay) ass kicker, people would probably laugh at him if he tried. The guy will remain a comedy goof until the end of his career. |

If he opponent took him lightly before he defeated them with a quick submission, kicked them out of the ring & started doing it consistently there's a chance people could buy into it. He's had some time off & realised he needs to get more serious to reach the level of success he wants in his career - there's been more far-fetched ideas that worked. |

So people want Santino to have a kurt angle gimmick?

Was a lot of fun. Also, I like how even though Cesaro and Swagger lose constantly for some reason tonight in particular Zeb was completely losing his mind over it.

Become a serious martial artist, yes. Lose the comedy act, altogether, no. Just let him be the same character but without the forced mannerisms and without the fake accent. Basically he'd be like Kofi. I actually think Santino could keep the Cobra as a finisher, but ditch the green sock. Like WWE can play up his "deadly striking abilities". |

I think Santino has the perfect niche. Not everybody can be champion. He's obviously put a lot of effort into his mannerisms and is over. He's a guy that "gets it". I almost hate to say it but that seems to be a more uncommon quality as time goes by. In a world with a handful of belts, limited TV time and tons of wrestlers, you gotta make things work with the limits you have and he's done that far more than most wrestlers.

The guy has done a masterful job of staying over for the last couple of years despite never really having a serious feud and a so-so win loss record |

Santino is awesome. He is perfect in the midcard. I actually hope that they give him a couple more victories here and there.

That crowd was losing their shit over that big swing...rightfully so.
Thank you Cesearo - for making at least SOME part of this show fun again.

Santino is FAR more over now and in a much better place than he would ever be if he became a generic submission wrestler.

"I've never seen Santino this aggressive before!" 'SANTINO MARELLA .. has a wonderful dropkick' It's an all new Santin...oh look he just tripped and knocked himself out on the ring corner. 1..2..3 it's over, Jinder Mahal wins. |

Thank you Cesearo - for making at least SOME part of this show fun again. i liked JBL cracking up when he said "a GIANT SWING gets a chant here." when the crowd was chating "This is Awesome" in minute 5 of the giant swing, before they went back to filler non-giant swing portion of the match. i was hoping for the perfect "what the hell?" chanting storm though. where you had Swiss Cesaro, "Italian" Santino and being in Canada...for a "USA" chant to break out.  |

I marked hard for the giant swing, almost as much for Santino returning.
