The Dichotomy of Santino Marella

by Michael Sedor on May 30th, 2008

We at www.jabandgrapple.com enjoy the WWE character Santino Marella a great deal. Often his comedic talent and hilarious malaprops overshadow his ample wrestling skills. We’re not thrilled about his feud with Jimmy Kimmel’s Cousin Sal but assured that that side story only has about two more weeks of life.

So when we saw he was the subject of the Baltimore Sun’s Ring Posts blog’s most recent Q&A we were ecstatic and eager to find out what Santino’s like outside of the WWE. No such luck there. Santino does the whole interview IN CHARACTER! Considering Beth Phoenix’s recent in-character interview to the Miami Herald perhaps the fiction/reality blurring will become the norm. Marella’s Q&A is a far cry from the straight, fact-based interview he did for canoe.ca a few months ago.

I’m not going to spoil some of Santino’s revelations, click over to the site, but Sun writer Kevin Eck ends the interview by telling Santino that “I can honestly say this is one of the most entertaining interviews I’ve ever done.” Marella responds with “Thank you, Kevin. It was a real pleasure for you to talk to me.”
