Santino Marella on his fake accent, current comedy wrestlers, creating The Cobra, retiring 

For real duuki.

Sameeeee! I never expected this voice

He sounds like Faaan-dang- goooo

this is crazy for me too lol

You would've been 15 odd when he made his debut though.

Hes from Canada

Because it's still real to me, damn it.

Oof, JJ isn't very bright lol

@@JustinSparfven The Joke, Over JJ's Head.

What’s that all aboot??

He related to Troopz of AFTV?

Pallav Sahu am I the only one who thinks I’m gay

Mark Leviathan who are u why are u stalking me

Mark Leviathan 👀

Pallav Sahu Ham Roll

John Chena

He'd be the perfect 24/7 champion

@@LuigiTheItalian Drew McIntosh, Shamos

Former US and IC Champion wish he stayed he deserves a World Champion

If I were him I would never go back he would just be a gimmick

Haha next time

Thats when you know you've made it

Busy schedule

Same

Hell, when he wrestled for OVW, he had a Russian MMA fighter gimmick. So I thought he was from Russia

mind blown...

Same here

My life is a lie 😐😭

He does on aftermath

Except WWE would just have him repeat his 'i wasn't ready' schtick instead of giving him the huge return push he deserves

Returns in the Royal Rumble and starts hitting everyone in ring with the Cobra strike. 🤣

@@bougelemouge Bruh, the NEGATIVITY from the smarks is the main reason why wrestling is becoming less and less popular. Oh yeah, wrestling sucks even the die-hard fans(idiotic smarks) hate it

@@TheRock-su3qz 💯 tell em again

Sure as shit, he returned as "Santina"....AT the Royal Rumble. Lol

Agree, interviewer is a real discipline pro

that's more fake than Santino's accent

met him during wm31 and we had like a 5-10 minute conversation. He started off with the accent and by the end of the conversation he had just given up on it.

@@SalDaDrummr Is he nice?

@@TheeKingRayzor one of the nicest people I met during all of WM weekend

@@SalDaDrummr Who else did you meet?

@@TheeKingRayzor the revival, sheamus, randy orton, , sin cara, kalisto, paige, aj Lee, rtruth, bella twins, cesaro and tyson kidd, enzo and cass and many more. I used to live by the festivities of wm31 so everything was walking distance from me. Favorite week of my wrestling life!

No one is more underrated than you Shock Master

"I dont care who you are boy!"

@Repo man Anthony "santino marella" Carelli has legit Italian ancestry that allowed him to portray an Italian stereotype

Do you see something I dont?

Looks like a spider

Nick he was the best

jimmie jenkins what?

I love Santino, but for me, I'd put R-Truth first and then Santino.

I took a break from wrestling when R-truth came out. I’ve only been catching up the last month. Watching clips of both I feel more connected to Santino because I was watching when Santino debuted and saw all of his segments in tv at the time

He was a joke and a job guy, only because Jim Cornette slapped him.

JoseRufus right!!! Lol

Thanks man!

That was one of the times I wish they would have just pulled the trigger and tried something unexpected. You knew deep down he wouldn't win but he really did make you think it could happen.

That's why Mox left WWE. They wanted him doing comedy to make him kid friendly when he really isn't half of the time. He likes throwing some little joke lines in to be funny, but that's not the root of what he wants in terms of character. He wanted to be taken serious and work on the ground, grapple, and chain wrestle (which he can). Vince wanted to see Jon as a goofy looney toon in his later years in the company starting before he won the WWE Title with the poorly written attachment to Mitch the potted plant. When he was just given a live mic and had those promos with Seth and Ziggler in his WWE Title reign, he was basically him cutting a promo and he could feel it. Underdog/fighting champion promo against Seth and the guy that can outsmart DZ promo. Jon knew the route he wanted for his character, but Vince saw him as a comedy act for the second half of WWE run. Comedy has a time and place, but it can't be forced on the talent and not everyone should do it. They focus on entertainment rather than getting people in the ring that can give 3.5-4 star matches on a near weekly basis.

@@DaylinThaGemini 3-5 matches never put many people butts on seat but compelling promo segment is.

Imagine Santino as champion Vs Sheamus at WrestleMania. Would have been spectacular

@@callumskinner4584 Yup. I think I was one of the few that was kind of glad that Sheamus beat Bryan in 18 seconds since I didn't want him to win at the chamber. Santino and Sheamus could've had a decent match and would've rewarded Santino for his loyalty. It is what it is though and I am now a fan of Bryan

@@mistamaog the 18 seconds was the best thing to happen to Bryan. And I wouldn't have minded Santino losing in 18 seconds bc he would have got a world title for his loyalty

Fucking hated Bryan. Bored me to tears

Thanks for the kind words Cameron! Happy new year!

@@ChrisVanVliet You too man! All the best in 2020 🔥

I appreciate that!

Link?

“And he’s also such a handsome boy!” Sincerely, Santino’s Grandma

@@BrianTKessler it was a ppv I'm not sure if there's any video of it on RU-vid sorry my friend

His match with simon grimm (FKA simon gotch) was absolutely great. That match alone was better than rollins vs. Fiend HIAC

@@Minickzky98 💀💀

And the Elimination Chamber maybe?

@@AutisticLed Yeah that too!

Save some for me!

@@huh1387 ouch

I’m watching on the shitter

@@brocaflocka2282 Same, but I'm also playing Pokemon

Nobody cares

Thanks! Happy thanksgiving to you too!

@@ChrisVanVliet Thank you , Also I'm not on Twitter no more but I do follow you on Facebook because I'm on there more but I will still support you and the channel no matter what my friend 😁

2012

Greetings!

true. i hate the flip-flop shit we have nowadays.

@Ziad Khaled declining ratings say otherwise

Yeah, Santino is right man. This flippy-floppy shit and guys like meltzer is the reason for the downfall

I don't agree with him on that. Wrestling is like ice cream. Everyone has their favorite flavor. If there's just one flavor and you hate that flavor, then you'll hate ice cream. Like there's alot of people that don't like WWE, so they watch AEW or Impact or vice versa. Having options is nice.

Cameron Buitrago Did he said that 1 is the only option? Nope, he said there’s TOO many and mostly they feel similarly, there’s no innovation or balls as what the Attitude Era did or even the Ruthless Agression Era did, they don’t take chances because they’re afraid that social media will complain that they’re being too offensive or violent with the crap they do (the Omega/Moxley got some very angry thinking that was extremely violent and unnecessary, they need to watch CZW to see what extremely violent truly is). It’s not good, for anyone involved.

I think when he turned face I think that was the point where Vince decided to script more for him, and we all know what happens when Vince decides to micro manage things unfortunately....... Still, that 1st heel run, damn that was good

HadiFaHD he was literally one of the most pushed for his character type

Early 2012 was his best time in WWE I reckon.

He defeated umaga lol. Guy was literally picked from a crowd and given a title day one. If that’s not a push I don’t know what is. Yes he didn’t do much in the end with the comedy routine first with Beth and then with the tag team, but he had a solid 2 years at least before the whole snake puppet and everything

@@sgttoasterface5282 he won the IC title on his debut,thats right but he never won the world or wwe title and wasnt a main eventer

The Santino character wasn't serious enough for a main event push, but his Boris Alexisev gimmick would've gotten soooo over.

Gave her the snake
