WWE's Santino Marella comments on being slapped by TNA's Jim Cornette
Apr 10, 2008 - 11:29 AM |
|
Santino Marella explained the scenario that led to Jim Cornette slapping him while they were both working in former WWE developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling. "I just got there to OVW. I was there for about a month. I didn't know anything about wrestling. I was sitting there, and my daughter was sitting in front of me, and the emergency doors were behind us.
"The Boogeyman turned toward us, and I thought he was going to scare my daughter for me. So I started smiling, thinking, 'This is going to be good. He's going to scare my daughter.' I guess Jim Cornette thought I was laughing at the Boogeyman. He got all freaked out, brought me backstage and history happened.
"It didn't deter me for one second. If anything, it motivated me, and I have no hard feelings with him. I can look back and laugh at it now. At the time, I was just afraid of being kicked out and not having the chance to train. Maybe we can have a cage match one day and then shake hands. It worked out."

Powell's POV: Santino also says he's more than just comedy and discusses how much he enjoys wrestling. I sure hope so because the guy is gold on the mic and could be a star for years to come for WWE if they decide to present him as a credible in-ring performer. Normally, I'm happy when guys speak out of character, but I feel cheated whenever we don't get a classic line from Santino. Even so, this is a good interview.
