OK just so i understand this right....

[Ringmaster]

Raw goes to Italy, Vicne picks out a "fan" which we now know as marella, marella gets beaten until lashly gets him the win, for the next few weeks he wins by roll-up's and is hated.

fast forward a bit, he turns heel, pretty much stops wrestling all together,then gets on the Mic and steals others superstars(mainly Austins) catch phrases all while butchering the English language and not really being that funny IMO and somehow that has resulted into him being worshiped like the second coming of Jesus.

i guess ill never get it.

[machinegun]

You either get it or you don't

[gimmieabreakbrain]

no you won't I guess. Marella is something fresh and new to the product. When you endure years of stupid promos by HHH, Cena, HBK, and the rest of them and the constant shoving of McMahon down your throat along with stupid ass angles and bastard sons and blown up limos and explotation of dead wrestlers and just all around lame ass writting. When someone like Santino comes along and is actually funny and entertaining. You can't help but to enjoy it.

[Next Level was WRONG]

That's exactly it. Apart from the "stealing catchphrases" bit.

[clifford]

well if you don't get it by now, you never will.

'Tom Hanks wit da aids' and 'New York is looking for how you say.....filthy prostitute' aint exactly other people's catchphrases either

[RedSmile]

I get it, but I still don't think Santino is all that funny.

[Ringmaster]

no i get it, he's doing something different and new, its just i find him bland, at least with kennedy he could wrestle somewhat, and can be noted for somethign other then rollup's.

[Bishblast]

Santino is good comic material in my eyes, and... that's it.

[Ringmaster]

i blame wwe writing for making me so jaded.

[Metalheadbanger Man]

I have yet to see a decent match from Santino in the 'E (apparently his OVW work was pretty good), but there's no denying he always gets a reaction from the crowd which hardly anyone outside of main-eventers like HHH and 'Taker do.

Plus, it's getting Maria away from the "idiot interviewer" gimmick, which is good.

[Lancers]

He has shown a lot more personality now then he had when he started. Whether you find it entertaining or not is merely subjective. If anything, I'm more impressed that he went from a guy who was thought of to be DOA in terms of getting over in the beginning to arguably one of the more charismatic heels on their roster in such a short amount of time.

I think you get it just fine, you just don't think he's funny and you wanted everyone to know that. You're really just stating your opinion, but you thought that by phrasing it in the form of a question it might seem like you're presenting a fresh topic.

[plushtar]

I find him to be a great comedic/cowardly heel. He reminds me a bit of JBL when he first started using the gimmick.

actually it hought by presenting it as a question id figure out how he managed to get so much internet love, i could use info like that.

[mo]

I didn't mind him as a face, although it really didn't work. But I really find the guy hilarious as a heel. I'm still not too sure how good his wrestling skills are, because I doubt they'll be able to make the promos thing work forever.

Oh. Fair enough then, maybe he just sucks in the ring.

I have this mindset with a lot of bands

[Loki]

There's nothing to "get"...

He has developed a (kayfabe) attitude and he's playing the loudmouth heel, a la Honky-Tonk Man, and quite well.

He's annoyingly funny, and most important, he's somewhat FRESH.

It may be his Broken English, or his "relaxed" attitude, instead of the usual "I'm angggggrrrrry" heel...

But it's a fact they need to do something with him, before his gimmick gets stale again.
