WWE SuperThread *Spoilers*

i havent watched wwe in ages, is santino still around? what is he doing? any good?

i love that guy, always makes me laugh

Santino formed an unlikely tag team between him and the Russian mauler Vladimir Kozlov. They're basically a comedy duo but they did manage a tag team championship reign and were over with the crowd.

Apart from wooing Jimmy Snuka's daughter and a couple of backstage appearances Santino has essentially been jobbed out for the majority of his time on Raw. Although he did manage to be the last person eliminated at the Royal Rumble this year.

Turned face and essentially became a one joke pony with his "cobra" finisher. A long way behind where he was 2 years ago.

 

[Big Pete]

Two years ago wasn't he doing the Santina storyline?

Better make it three.

probably, back when he was part of Galmarella and when he was with Maria, he was hilarious.

 

[Big Pete]

Yes, 2008.

He still has his moments and still has the best timing of anyone in the company but his material at times is extremely weak.

I would like to see Santino return to being a heel, he did his best work that way. Maybe he can do something like Lance Storm and, after winning the US Title, rename it the Italian Heavyweight Championship.

Yes, Santino is still funny but was much funnier as a heel for mine, problem is, is he good enough in the ring?

Anyway some of Santino's best work:

[Big Pete]

Not really.

He's okay but there are far better.

Pause the video at 5:22, and there is a sneaky little shot of "The Edgeheads" as WWE Tag Team Champions, after what happened on Superstars could it be a sneaky little spoiler?

 

[Big Pete]

Thanks for pointing that out PP.

Interesting, at least it's something. Although judging from a couple of Hawkins' videos I thought he was on the way out.

 

[Big Pete]

Standard Raw.

McGillicutty and Otunga captured the WWE Tag Titles.

Show was run over by Ricardo's car after an altercation with ADR.

Riley turned on Miz.

Cena and Mysterio defeated Truth and Punk in the main event. Bret Hart was the special guest referee.

Kharma had an emotional breakdown in the ring.

And Cole apologised to King and the rest of the WWE universe.

 

[Satsok]

needs more santino marella

 

[Rocky Rabbit]

Loved the respect by CM for Randy Savage by wearing his style of trunks

 

[Bulldog Force]

I thought it was a pretty good Raw. Cole/King's feud finally being over is good, although Cole did still have a bit of heel commentary in him. I never thought I'd see A-Ri turn face so soon though lol. I was a but surprised by Hitman's interference in the main event though. The tribute to Macho Man was awesome.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Maybe it's just me but that raw was very ordinary!

 

[DB]

I actually really enjoyed it.... I'm loving this Alex Riley faceturn, and if its a scene of things to come with HHH as the new talent person I am all for it.

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

They need to start pulling the trigger with some of these guys, cut down the rosters or reintroduce brand split PPVs, and stop being so formulaic. They're 60% there imo, just need to make some subtle changes to their product and I could come back to watching it fulltime.

 

[Big Pete]

Agree Marlins.

Other changes I'd like to see made...

- Scrap or re-work the MitB concept. So sick of these premature reigns that lack any credibility. World Championship reigns should mean something.

- Scrap the draft shows, establish guys as Raw or Smackdown superstars.

- Develop these new guys more. Why should I care about Tatsu, Reks, Ryder, Smith, Kidd, Otunga, McGillicutty, Ryan, Slater, Gabriel and the Usos? Develop these guys further, put them into feuds, give them mic. time etc. Stop wasting time with Raw rebounds, WWE movie promotion, commentator feuds or filler segments that lead no where.

- Book heels stronger. Faces can still come out the majority of the time but by booking heels so weakly it makes it difficult to put them over.

- Change some guys face. Guys like Dibiase and Swagger are talents but have nothing to as heels. Both guys can be presented reasonably well as faces and creative should consider switching them.
