Santino was actually planned to get Vladamir Kozlov's Russian gimmick. Boris Alexiev...

It would've continued the trend of pro wrestling promotions using foreigners to play a foreign-to-the-wrestler's person. Muhammed Hassan from 2005, was actually Italian himself. Ivan Koloff, the man who beat Bruno Sammartino for the WWWF championship, ending his 8 year reign, was actually Canadian but played a Russian gimmick.

So Santino is a great wrestler. I'd read that that gimmick would've made him into a wrestling machine like character that Kurt Angle sported, touting how he could make anyone tap out. I know Santino is good in the ring, they just book him as a joke.

Santino's peak, other than the Elimination Chamber performance this year, was as a heel. Then, you were supposed to laugh AT him, but I ended up laughing WITH him. Eventually he and Beth Phoenix paired up to form Glamarella. Underrated duo, as I found them awesomely entertaining. This was their best moment, one that still makes me laugh hard.

Cena corpsed, it was too damn funny, "John Chena." The kind of comedic dynamic was something Santino was best at. As a face, now it's getting people to laugh with him, and it just doesn't feel the same, and at best, it's hit and miss.

About Ryback, are we supposed to be "amazed with the power" of his marching in the ring with 2 guys that combined are less than 3000 lbs? Cole is the one that sounds like he is having an orgasm with his "look at the power..." Didn't he even stupidly ask King, "have you ever seen a man lift 2 wrestlers so easily and march in the ring carrying them on his shoulders?"

3000 pounds fuck those are heavy dudes

IRT Khali: I still don't understand why they broke up his team with Jinder Mahal; they could have done a modern day "Colossal Connection" team with those two (a la Haku & Andre) that could've allowed Khali to do the bare minimum other than be super-tall & powerful, with Mahal doing most of the work & taking all of the bumps. Instead they broke them up, did a quick pointless feud and then did nothing with either.

Whie I think Khali is an awful wrestler, I think he has a place in the WWE. He's best suited for a tag team, so he doesn't have to work too much. The problem with the Mahal and Khali team I thought was that Mahal wasn't a good enough wrestler to cover up Khali's shortcomings. I'd like to see them bring in someone like Sonjay Dutt.


I hadn't watched NXT since the second season. I may start watching it again when the new season starts. I always thought the B-shows (Heat, Velocity) were usually better

Talk about dodging a bullet - if Santino had come in as a judo/ass-kicking machine, he'd have been long since released IMHO. Him being a comedy guy probably saved his career (and certainly made him more money in merchandise sales).

And I'm less impressed by Ryback picking up two jobbers that are probably about 150/175 lbs. each than I am when Cena FUs (or Lesnar F5s) guys like Big Show or Mark Henry. Hell, Cena had both Big Show & Edge on his back at once at Mania a few years back.

I have to admit MIB04: I'm not a fan of Sonjay Dutt. No real reason, I just couldn't ever get into his characters or matches. With that said: yeah, he'd be a better "worker" in a tag with Khali than Mahal ever could be.

I totally recommend watching NXT - I don't know how well the FCW guys will merge in, but the most recent 'season' was awesome, with decent matches and actually entertaining backstage shenanigans. You could tell that it was the show that Vince & company didn't micromanage, because it was actually entertaining.

lol

if he did that then I would definitely be impressed. Where is Mark Henry ? They should bring him in and let Ryback try it on. Henry dead weights and Ryback pulls muscles in his legs and back because of too much magic juice.

Ryback is never seen again.

From what I read, he had shoulder surgery. If he feels he'll be fit to perform, he'll come back. If not, he said he won't come back, I believe. I was thinking that Henry and Ryback would be like Sheamus and Henry last year. However, with Ryback's dominance, a good beating by Henry would be nice. Then Ryback can win in the end. He needs to be knocked down a peg.

TNA star Hulk Hogan was featured in an article on ABC News which had listed the top Bad Celebrity Dads.

Some on the reasons as to why Hogan made the list included Hogan wiping sunscreen on his daughter’s bottom and revealing his “junk” in a hip hop inspired online commercial. Hogan re-tweeting the comment about someone being “balls deep” inside Brooke Hogan was also named.

I wonder if Hulk likes his daughter too much because she bares a striking resemblance to dear old dad.

It's just one thing after another with The Hulkster. Worst celebrity Dad, ouch. I did have to laugh at the balls deep inside Brooke re-tweet.

That's right, I remember reading about Mark Henry a few weeks ago. I wouldn't mind Ryback vs Mark Henry. It's at the point that I will take anything.

I read something on pwi and somebody said about Orton coming back as a heel when his suspension ends.

Even go after CM Punk again . This time CM punk is an established babyface and it will be different than their feud last year because CM Punk was still a a heel. Orton was just coasting along before the suspension. CM Punk hasn't been setting the world on fire lately.

I don't know about being a heel, because that's something Orton himself wants. He replied to a tweet asking about coming back as a heel and he said "we can only pray." I remember reading interviews where he said it's hard being a face, and it's something he had to deal with since fans turned him in the first place. If anything, he'll come back and just be humbled beyond belief with him putting over many guys. If he passes that, then they will turn him heel and give him momentum. Then, at the right time, turn him back as a face, when his popularity peaks again.

you could be right. I don't think Orton will be held back too long.

Anything except another feud with Kane will be fine . Randy Orton loses to Ryback on his first match back on TV. Talk about a kick in the balls. I see Randy Orton do the pre match promo thing before Ryback comes out and destroys him . That would be a humbling experience.

Orton's probably the size of both jobbers Ryback would squash. I wonder if Cole will mark out at that.

For those who don't watch Zack Ryder's show, there's a segment in it that regularly airs featuring Ziggler in "Ask the Heel." Well I noticed the logo and...
