I actually miss Santino. I think he is one of the most entertaining persons on WWE TV and I'm very rarely bored when he's on. And he is actually decent in the ring and can get the crowd going (Elimination Chamber 2012) Am I the only one that miss him?

I do too  He could be really funny at times and I enjoy seeing him wrestle as well. |

Hurt his elbow I believe. Had to have surgery. It was either his back or elbow. |

Can't say I miss him.. but maybe when he returns I will appreciate him more. I was a big fan at one time, then he became really overexposed and corny. i am actually glad he's not around, for now.

I really like him. Just think that he got really corny around the time they debuted that damn cobra sleeve. I miss him too.
One of my favorite moments of his was the Honk-A-Meter when he was trying to beat Honky Tonk Man's IC title streak.

The Honk-a-meter was the greatest thing ever created even greater than wrestlemania and life on earth |

I wouldn't mind seeing him in a tag team with someone is already a comedy wrestler, not turning someone like Vladimir Kozlov from a monster to a comedy style.

loved him as comedy heel back when he was IC champion in late 2008.
Can't wait for his return.

I wish he won the match against Daniel Bryan at the Elimination Chamber. The whole crowd was hooked for a moment, all rallying behind Santino, and for a moment we believed. and it was taken away. A magical moment wwe lost due to logic. Sometimes you need to give into impossible outcomes and emotion so you don't get stale.
WWE got stale. Predictability isn't the answer. If the crowd hypes and wants a moment like Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton, you ive it to them. Yes, Jeff did win the title eventually unlike Santino but the magical moment was gone. They missed it. A moment in time lost because they dropped the ball with "how its supposed to be"
I have watched wwe for years and if I wrote for them, which I never will because passionate fans cant compare to college degrees held by those without any passion or love for the business. another logical decision that never pans out. One would only see the writing on the wall in wwe when the best ideas do not come from the college degrees and rather from Stephanies, Heymans, and Tripe H's of the world. The passionate people who understand the past and want the best for the future.
Damn it Vince, its why you are so successful. Your father went on logic!!! and you went on emotion and love for the business and it yielded the most successful family run entertainment business ever. Think of the possibilities if in the meeting room you had the writers who surrounded you filled with the knowledge of the past, emotion of the present, and actual "buy in" to the future. A group who gave a crap and would provide the insight to see the writing on the wall that yes, it doesn't make logical sense to have Santino Marella be World Champion. But it would have every fan remembering that night. Instead? logical decision was used... and we already forgot. What happened that year in wrestling? how many memories will last forever?... Jeff Hardy winning the title was another as said before.
Maybe we are here for logical decisions. Or maybe we are here to make people talk about wrestling and the special moments that make others say "NO Way" I have to check that out!!! Daniel Bryan winning that night did not do it. CM Punk beating Cena did!! Kudos to that! Daniel Bryan defeating Cena cleanly at SummerSlam will also do that.
It's very possible to reignite the fire that was the 90's in our new era. It has to be done by people who give a crap. Writers who aren't writing crap. Writers who can push you to make moves that are otherwise illogical. Unpredictability sells... you know that. I am done. Thanks for your time.

I like him a lot when he's just being stupid or mispronouncing words. But arguing with his sock puppet is a bit much.

I really don't.
I haven't seen him, David Otunga or Hornswoggle on TV for ages and it's been wonderful.

Wow. Not going to lie, until I read this, I completely forgot he was gone. I guess that answers whether or not I miss him. He was never bad in his role--quite the opposite, I just hated how WWE used him. He definitely felt like one of those guys who was shoved down your throat each week--a good few times over too if you watched Superstars and all.

On a side note where's Kofi gone? He got "hurt" when he got taken out by Ryback and put through a table on Smackdown. |
