@@logoifitiusos I’m sorry, but do you have a problem with jeans and red boots? Is that some fashion faux pas I don’t know about? Dammit, now I gotta change my tinder profile pic
He seems like the most sincere and humblest guy to ever be a wrestler. It’s amazing how he can switch gears and have you laughing until it hurts so quickly. Definitely a hall of famer!
The hardest I ever laughed was when Melina did her sexy split entrance and Santino tried to replicate it, then immediately fell to the ground shaking and holding his groin 😂😂😂😂😂
Santino's mic work honestly deserves as much respect as that of The Rock, Stone Cold and Cena. I have never seen a wrestler be so over-the-top but be so entertaining for so long. Guaranteed Hall Of Fame.
I saw Anthony/Santino at a red light one time in Mississauga. I was in the passenger seat, and he pulled up right next to me. His window was down, so was mine, but I just couldn't get it out of me to say something. I was way too shy. I was and still am a huge fan. I even had the "Beware of Cobra" t-shirt! He seems like a genuinely good guy too.
I still live in Mississauga, wish I had seen Santino. I did see Don Cherry at Canadian Tire, Edge & Christian at a coffee shop by the airport, and Elias Theodorou (RIP) in Square One.
He really was the funniest wrestler ever. Everything he did in wwe was pure gold. He def deserves a hof spot for all his hilarious moments. Just like R-truth. Not everyone is in there for their amazing matches or many title reigns
Santino runs a KILLER wrestling and martial arts facility in Mississauga, Ontario. His Judo skills are very underrated. Great school! Mad respect to Anthony, great work again Chris!
His debut was perfect. Someone to get behind right away and some early comedy moments right from the start. When Vince says, “do you understand English?” And Santino replies, “sí, sí!” 😂
The title couldn't be better.. he IS the greatest comedy wrestler ever. I popped so hard when the Cobra went face to face with Mr. Socko, what a moment. And Chris is right, it seemed like he could get anything over, he was just so entertaining. Better be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame some day!!
Every so often, I'll remember "The Manimal, Baptista" and laugh my ass off hysterically while my kids wonder what the hell is wrong with me. That's the kind of effect I'm sure Santino had on many many fans. What a legend.
I barely remember anything from 2010-2015 but most of what I do remember is Santino moments. I was in the 5th row at the 2011 Royal Rumble and I’ve never been in a louder environment then we he cobra ADR. He was so good. Can’t wait to see him in the HOF eventually.
That's an amazing interview right there, so many interesting new pieces of information! After this, I want Santino back at the Rumble to break his own record.
Big Props Chris in doing double duty that day as you did not one but two outstanding interviews with Bubba and Santino! First off...the preparations you do for just one interview are ALWAYS spot On. But this day you had to do double the work with researching and memorizing and question asking and while making sure to not mixing up the information about your two subjects! As always you Delivered The Goods! I do remember the first time I saw and heard Santino I instantly thought this guy is gonna be a Fun Ride to follow! Cobramania Brother! 🤣 I will also check out Factor! The food looked awesome and easy! Cheers From Ohio To The CVV Community! 👋
Thank you kindly The Stuport! I actually ended up doing 3 interviews that day. One more is coming up with former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans
@@ChrisVanVliet can you ask suga what's the difference between eagle FC or UFC? Like negotiating contracts or how is it dealing with someone other than Dana?!? He one of my favorite fighters till this day
I got to say, very good and professional interview, one of the better ones I’ve seen in awhile. I love the way you actually let them talk, focused and interested in what they are saying. Keep up the good work!
@@H.K.5 he won world titles, he was way more than a comedy wrestler. Sure, he was funny, but calling Rock a comedy wrestler is like them telling us that Lord Tensai wasn’t Albert
I don't have any kids of my own but my GF has 3 kids and I never knew I actually wanted kids until I met hers. Everything Santino is talking about is 100 percent true. He sounds like an amazing dad. I love that for him.
The funny thinng is: I watched some videos of WWE in italy, with him and he spoke so well italian, even with no noticable accent, that I thought he really is italian, or at least his family is partly italian. So Kudos for that! 🤣
Sir thank you. I'm watch your clips every chance I get and idk why to save my life im just now thinking about checking your RUclips for full videos. Great content good sir. Santino character is a national treasure and should be given his flowers by everyone
sunna magun and the honk-o-metre how good was this guy. So much great memories Me and my bro would fight to play with santino in the chamber in the old wwe games
I’m 35 in great shape contemplating wrestling myself at a near by place this episode is great, hits all spots for me, parenting, being a girl dad etc etc. great stuff 🤙🏼
❤❤ I am 28 years old and I have watched him live..He shocked me with his win and It was sad as a kid because he was not getting enough opportunties😢(as a kid I thought it) ❤❤
I thought he was going to win that rumble over Del Rio, and looking back on it, and hindsight being 2020 he should have. I honestly would’ve bought it even as a comedy character. I would’ve loved to see him main event wrestlemania.
Santino might have his detractors, but I've got to say he's made me belly-laugh so darn hard so many times. I honestly believed that the man we all saw on TV really was Santino Marella in real life. It's actually amazing how downright.....normal he is when not in-character!
Amazing interview as always Chris, would u consider please making an interview with Deuce or Domino or even together? I would love to see a interview with them!
I wish you'd interview Armando Estrada, it would make for a great interview i bet, him or Raven. Besides them, you did all my faves already, from Stevie Richards, to Mr. Kennedy
I totally remember being watching when he got pulled out of the crowd, it was actually one of My first interactions with the wwe universe, those were the days for me....
I was in 6rh grade when Santino debuted in Italy and I definitely thought it was real for a bit. I was in that sweet spot stage where I knew it was scripted but still thought some stuff was legitimate. I also was happy to see Umaga lose because I think this was during that feud between Lashley and McMahon where Umaga was his henchman and I was a Bobby fan as a kid.

Chris, I live in Vegas buddy, let's talk wrestling. It would be cool to just chat with a 30 year fan, it's different, fans might like it.
You should interview Jake the snake
You are the best in the business brother
I 100% believed his debut. It was an amazing feeling
Kinda like kurt angles debut....he was one of the fans and then got in the ring
Facts
I had the benefit of being a fan when Earthquake made his debut, fool me once, shame on me, but they didn’t fool me twice with Santino
I did too, but who would wear jeans and red wrestling boots?
@@logoifitiusos I’m sorry, but do you have a problem with jeans and red boots? Is that some fashion faux pas I don’t know about? Dammit, now I gotta change my tinder profile pic
So his whole career was just him trying to make sure his daughter would make it, what an incredible man and father
And he was a success in his own rights too, the fam is blessed
Santino Marella is one of the best comedic acts in wrestling. While Santina wasn't my thing, everything else was gold. He was a funny heel & babyface.
Santino constantly mispronouncing the other wrestlers names in an inappropriate way was always gold. Putting him with Beth phenix was good as well.
So good!
He seems like the most sincere and humblest guy to ever be a wrestler. It’s amazing how he can switch gears and have you laughing until it hurts so quickly. Definitely a hall of famer!
Champion in our hearts. Dude was amazing performer. Wrestling needs more people like him, on and off camera.
“Look at me I’m Rey masterio imma taller than a hornswoggle”😂😂😂😂😂😂
The hardest I ever laughed was when Melina did her sexy split entrance and Santino tried to replicate it, then immediately fell to the ground shaking and holding his groin 😂😂😂😂😂
I know right 🤣
Santino was the last professional wrestler debut that I believed was real, that Raw was iconic.
Santino's mic work honestly deserves as much respect as that of The Rock, Stone Cold and Cena.
I have never seen a wrestler be so over-the-top but be so entertaining for so long.
Guaranteed Hall Of Fame.
And Kurt even though he was always on perks 😂
@@Bunmanning i found Kurt on percs hilarious.
Nah 😂

I would’ve said no words just did the cobra
Ontario Boys Let's Go!

We need more of this kinda guy. Yeah in wrestling, but just in the world.
this man needs to be in the Hall of Fame!
He really was the funniest wrestler ever. Everything he did in wwe was pure gold. He def deserves a hof spot for all his hilarious moments. Just like R-truth. Not everyone is in there for their amazing matches or many title reigns
Damian Sandow wuth Mizdow was pretty good as well
Has to be in the Hall of Fame for his comedic segments and his character, legit one of the only reasons to watch WWE in that time period.
Santino runs a KILLER wrestling and martial arts facility in Mississauga, Ontario. His Judo skills are very underrated. Great school!
Mad respect to Anthony, great work again Chris!
Guys no joke! He's a monster behind the scenes
@@danceeeee1829 I agree with that.

WHAT!? You’re telling me he’s not Italian? 😮 🤯
I mean, he's Anthony Carelli IRL, so he is Italian, just an Italian Canadian 😂 Also, nice Winnipeg Jets (my hometown) PFP 👍
I would never forget how JTG sold the Cobra
Iconic! haha
Neurotoxin sell 😂
Facts!!! 😂
Bro was great in ring, on the mic and never had an issue going over. Top 50 of all time FOR SURE
Every so often, I'll remember "The Manimal, Baptista" and laugh my ass off hysterically while my kids wonder what the hell is wrong with me. That's the kind of effect I'm sure Santino had on many many fans. What a legend.
That's me with John CHena
As a then 10 year old kid and now 26 I can 100% confirm I believe it
When did he debut?
I LOVED THIS GUY HE NEEDS TO BE IN THE HALL OF FAME HE MADE ME LAUGH ALL THE TIME “AKORN IS HERE” “JOHN CHENA”
His gimmick never got old and always funny and entertaining to me .

A real and true comedy character. Genuinely funny. Guy made people who never broke character, break character 😂
His debut is genuinely one of WWE’s greatest moments. As a kid I believed it and it made me believe anyone can become a wrestler
I was at Elimination Chamber 2012. The arena was literally shaking from the cheers for Santino. Unbelievable energy during that match.
As a Polish wrestling fan - I feel upset you didn't ask about his stuff in Prime Time Wrestling. He's absolutely perfect with his stunt up here.
Blippi is amazing, truly!
If there’s any chance you could interview him that would be great!
People in Italy LOVED SANTINO. When he came at house shows in Milan and Rome the place went nuts.
The cobra, people's elbow and the Stone cold stunner are definitely the best finishers
The goat of comedy wrestling 🔥
R Truth is up there. And he’s been around longer. 😄
The Rock is.
@@H.K.5 the rock wasn’t a comedy wrestler
@@derekfogel7682 Yes he was, he didn’t become serious up until he returned in 2011 but he was definitely a comedic wrestler in the early 2000’s.
@@H.K.5 he won world titles, he was way more than a comedy wrestler. Sure, he was funny, but calling Rock a comedy wrestler is like them telling us that Lord Tensai wasn’t Albert
My fav funniest Santino moment
Kane grabs Santino by his neck: WHERE IS C M PUNK!!?
Santino in trembling voice: Have you tried the Pepsi machine?
I was HUGEEE santino fan ALWAYS made u smile and hope he won somehow someway
The Melina leg split was gold
I’m truly just learning about his entire career. Thank you both!
I don't have any kids of my own but my GF has 3 kids and I never knew I actually wanted kids until I met hers. Everything Santino is talking about is 100 percent true. He sounds like an amazing dad. I love that for him.
I still remember watching his debut live. My cousin and I believed it was real for years, even now we'll throw up the cobra every once in a while.
Shorts Clips brought me here, great interview
I wish I got more of santino in wwe he was my fav was so disappointed when he was gone
YESS SANTINO
Z
what a humble and likeable person, great interview!
I live in Milan, I was lucky to see Santino's debut! WHAT A NIGHT
AMAZING!
I was one of those kids that believe 100% that his debut was real
Me too and I was already 14 years old in 2007 and I thought it esas real
Same deal. I was in 6th grade and I was convinced lol. I was in that sweet spot where I knew it was scripted but still thought some stuff was real.
One of the greatest characters ever
Santino Marella is a legend! he was great in the ring and awesome on the mic. we all love him.💜💜💜💜
No wrestler has made me laugh like Santino
R Truth.
@@chriscollins550 not close for me
When santino done the Stone Cold
“open a can of the ass whip”
Thank you Mr. Santino Marella for giving me an amazing childhood
I think Santino can give more. Not just a wrestler. If #WWE can listen to a suggestion, Santino can be a great side commentator
The funny thinng is: I watched some videos of WWE in italy, with him and he spoke so well italian, even with no noticable accent, that I thought he really is italian, or at least his family is partly italian. So Kudos for that! 🤣
Love and Respect from Ontario Canada!
🇨🇦
I remember his debut and being in awe of his victory. Such a good character and performer.
love your wrestling interviews, hope to keep seeing more
Thanks! Many more to come!
Sir thank you. I'm watch your clips every chance I get and idk why to save my life im just now thinking about checking your RUclips for full videos. Great content good sir. Santino character is a national treasure and should be given his flowers by everyone
sunna magun and the honk-o-metre
how good was this guy. So much great memories
Me and my bro would fight to play with santino in the chamber in the old wwe games
I'll love to see him be a full-time commentaror in character
I’m 35 in great shape contemplating wrestling myself at a near by place this episode is great, hits all spots for me, parenting, being a girl dad etc etc. great stuff 🤙🏼
Santino and beth combo was great
I was mid 20s and completely believed the debut. Give props
Santino winning the IC title is a core childhood memory
❤❤ I am 28 years old and I have watched him live..He shocked me with his win and It was sad as a kid because he was not getting enough opportunties😢(as a kid I thought it) ❤❤
I'm 36 now and it was only a couple years ago i found out 'Santino' wasn't Italian, and it broke my heart 🤣🤣
I mean, his government name is Anthony Carelli 🤷🏽♂️
My favorite comedic wrestler of all time he's the GOAT imo
To hear the accent again brings a tear to my eye. Amazing interview.
I loved the Marella act. Still search for his stuff online. A comedy genius.
Great interview you summamaguns!
I thought he was going to win that rumble over Del Rio, and looking back on it, and hindsight being 2020 he should have. I honestly would’ve bought it even as a comedy character. I would’ve loved to see him main event wrestlemania.
Santino is a legend! To know he comes from the same city as me is crazy!
Being humble never get old to see love these two
Santino was in my top 10 wrestlers after hearing him as himself I think he may be one of one of my top 5
When santino called Kane “Carnay” I couldn’t stop laughing
Santino might have his detractors, but I've got to say he's made me belly-laugh so darn hard so many times. I honestly believed that the man we all saw on TV really was Santino Marella in real life. It's actually amazing how downright.....normal he is when not in-character!
Love the work Chris
Much appreciated!
Yall remember the reference to his debut in WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 ? It was one of the Road To Wrestlemania story lines
Omg yesss
Amazing interview as always Chris, would u consider please making an interview with Deuce or Domino or even together? I would love to see a interview with them!
Strong work as always.
I appreciate that!
Santina is one deniability one of the goats, on mic and definitely in the ring.
I wish you'd interview Armando Estrada, it would make for a great interview i bet, him or Raven. Besides them, you did all my faves already, from Stevie Richards, to Mr. Kennedy
Honestly would have loved to watch Santino as WWE champion at least once
I’ve seen him wrestle at North pro Canadian wrestling and there is no doubt in my mind he’s a good worker
I remember when Jericho called Fandango..."Fan- Dunghole"...🤣🤣🤣...that's an instant classic 💯
I totally remember being watching when he got pulled out of the crowd, it was actually one of My first interactions with the wwe universe, those were the days for me....
Santino and R-Truth are the guys who made me laugh the most in WWE. ❤
I think it was pitiful of WWE to make Ron Killings a comedy bit.
@@bluntforcetrauma2141 True, but he does it so well. 😉
I can't believe how genuinely fuckin cool this guy is...
Idk Hurricane was funny asf but Santino is absolutely top 5 best comedic wrestlers
I was in 6rh grade when Santino debuted in Italy and I definitely thought it was real for a bit. I was in that sweet spot stage where I knew it was scripted but still thought some stuff was legitimate. I also was happy to see Umaga lose because I think this was during that feud between Lashley and McMahon where Umaga was his henchman and I was a Bobby fan as a kid.
Made hearing is normal voice haha 😄 enjoyed everything he did and is doing
Best comedic character in WWE history.
What an unbelievable guy man, we love you Santinoooo💪🏼💪🏼
Santino for hall of fame. Do it now
One of Jericho's best one liners has to be "Nash hole"
Santino was my favourite wrestler of all time
Great to hear he got his trademark name
