Who cares? It's only Santino. Exactly... Getting squashed wont hurt Santino right now. He is the loud mouth heel you tune in to see talk crap and get the snot beat out of him. It would be different if it was a popular face like Londrick. Londrick? Popular? Pff so popular they're now main eventing Heat after a year as Tag Team Champions with actual feuds and PPV matches... Anyway, back to topic. I don't care if Santino's role is lower midcard comedy heel who gets his ass kicked for having run his mouth too much. RVD coming out of nowhere, hitting ONE kick, the frog splash, then posing for a while before pinning Santino is ok only before it's RVD. Had Hogan done it, the board would have exploded... A "retired" wrestler defeating an active wrestler is usually regarded as wrong (see Hogan v HBK/Orton) Posing before pinning an opponent is equally wrong (HHH v Booker T) Squashing an active and regular member of the roster is wrong (even Val Venis gets some sort of offense) BUT BUT BUT these three points are now null and void because it was RVD and "only Santino"? On a "special" show? BTW, I totally understand how it's different, but it's still an annoying case of double standards.

Yeah, too bad that Hogan and Trips do it all the time and RVD just did it once.

All the time? Don't think so...
But it's not my main point anyway.
If it's bad posing before a pin, it's bad NO MATTER who and when he does it.
It was RAW's 15th, ok. It was "only Santino", ok. It was "OMG RVD!!11!!", fine. But was it really necessary a Bundy v SD Jones squash from a retired star to an active star?
