I have to add another superstar on this one.
Santino Marella: This guy is probably the most overrated superstar in recent history, and the worst IC champion ever.To clarify i'll discuss some points.
His gimmick: Is that of an cocky arrogant italian who jobs to everyone and only wins with luck, while his girlfriend dominates the womens division.Most of the time marella makes stupid promo's with a stupid accent and loses to men, women, and legends.If his gimmick does not change this guy will never be more than a comedic jobber.
His comedic act: A lot of people find him funny because he misspels words with an incredibly fake accent and that's the only reason he's a champion.Santino's promos usualy ends up with the same order.1 He comes out and makes fun of himself and makes fun of his opponents, but he usualy makes fun of himself.2 The wrestler who santino made fun of comes out and marella seems like he wants to piss in his pants.3 The wrestler destroys marella with no trouble and goes off.
His matches:He always jobs, wins with help or luck, and thats about it.This guy has no moveset, no finisher, and above all else no talent.
His title reign:An absolute disgrace to the IC title, not that it was important like the old days anyway.His reign is nothing more than the wrestler himself, a joke.In the storyline of raw santino hopes to break honky's streak which i hope he never does but most likely will, and is winning each week with luck.While his girlfriend wins with power something that his character lacks.
Overall Marella is a jobber with a stupid gimmick who has atracted many followers, for what reason? well according to the fans ''Just because he's funny''.
anyways, marrellas gimmick, is amazing, and hes playing it very good...the guy draws huge heat (and in the good way) while still putting on an entertaining show...OMG hes a italian idiot...haha the guys actually canadian for one thing, another is, they put him as italians for the reason of canada's been done so many times...they just had to throw him somewhere else....what better than the morons of itally? =D nice move WWE i like it.
so really, how can you say this guys gimmick sucks? he plays his part amazing...and his gimmick is good...his mic skills are even better...the whole GF thing is a chyna/eddie gurrerro thing...live with it?
his comedy, is classic, i love it, and so do most of the fans...and arnt you aware WWE went PG? thats why his crap is what it is...but, he does it very well, very very well, the best heel ive ever seen...
his wrestling.....lol......send sly a PM please, hell explain in-ring phycology to you, this is heel 101 crap going on here....and once again, he does it...amazing your so called "luck" crap...lol, there is no "luck" when its all scripted to begin with....santinos job is to put people over...while still getting the win, how hard is that?
santino's reign is boosting the title if nothing, (im quoting myself from another thread about "santino devaluating the title)
the way he walks around with it as if it was a WORLD championship. hes the best heel they have seen in this industry, since edge. even better than edge at that. he plays a perfect heel, its not the champion that is devaulating the belt, its the challengers. Kofi, is no longer going for the title....he had his rematch, and they moved him on....so stop blaiming the champion, and blaim the challengers.
(nuff said?)
overall, santino does his job, and he does it very very good....it seems to me you know very little about the business....no, marrella isnt looked at like mr perfect (a really good technical wrestler) but, is john cena a mr perfect? no......his mic work, gets him over, and santino, is deffinetly..over, i cant wait to see what this guy puts on for us every week, his charisma is amazing, his mic work is amazing, and i think (from what we saw in his early days) he is actually somewhat of a decent wrestler....they just dont let him do his wrestling crap, because hes not supposed to....as i said earlier, his job is to put a guy over, while still winning (usually with a roll-up) he gets a weak win, to make the other guy look strong...santino..is a great heel, and great worker, and learn to like it, the honkameter will be here for another year 1 week and 1 day AT LEAST anyways...
EDIT: Santino Marrella was born in itally but moved to canada, and was raised there at a very young age, still not really disprooving my points entirely, but sorry for my mistake.
