I used to go to a local bar/restaurant to watch them when my scheduled allowed for it. On a good show, the crowd atmosphere can make it a lot of fun.
Pro Wrestling is about as real as cable news. The only difference is that the wrestlers are willing to admit it's entertainment.
I remember, when he teamed up with Koslov, the announcers would say that Koslov was teaching him new moves during their training. I thought that was a good way to start to show a more serious side for Santino. He's legitimately funny and he needs that comic relief to stay if he's going to be fully utilized, but it's nice to be able to see him go out there and wrestle every now and then.
I had floor seats at Extreme Rules when the poster was a giant shot of Rey Mysterio's face... It's a really awkward chair to have to sit on...
I always got the impression that he's just being blunt. He seems to be fit with his personality, at least based on some of his interviews.
I'd actually like to see Maxine back. I always felt she had that Dawn Marie vibe to her, where she would make an excellent heel valet.
From what I've heard of him, his commentary seems solid. As much as I'm sure he'd prefer to be wrestling, WWE badly needs to build up some new commentators and A-Ry could serve the company well in that role.
Regardless of who wins at Summerslam, I suspect that Sandow will hold onto the briefcase for a while. The feud with Cody has the potential to build them both up if they give it time and Sandow himself probably deserves to be featured a little more before giving him the belt. Plus, if we go by recent MITB holders, the WWE briefcase is usually given to an established name (Del Rio, Cena, Orton) and cashed in quickly while the WHC briefcase is held onto longer and used as a tool to slowly elevate people (Bryan, Dolph, Sandow).
I'm more of an Edge fan myself, but that's in no way a knock on Christian. Both guys are really talented.
He WAS over... until they turned him heel and stuck a mic in his face every week.
