WWE Star Santino Marella to Get His Own Sitcom?!?

Vince McMahon knows no bounds. After failing with his own football league and bodybuilding league, he has been trying to break into the mainstream entertainment industry with his own film company, WWE Studios. If you have had a chance to watch any of these movies, I apologize… unless it happened to be The Condemned which was awesome.

The latest announcement, posted on AOL earlier today, concerns an entirely new medium: television. Santino Marella, an over the top comedy act with a heavy Italian accent, is going to be the subject of a new sitcom. The show, which also stars WWE stars Beth Phoenix (who will play his girlfriend, much like she did on Monday Night Raw) and Vladamir Koslov, will first start off on WWE.com and then will be shopped to other networks.

I know wrestling isn’t “cool” anymore, but Santino Marella is one of, if not the most, entertaining parts in the WWE and provides comedy skits that are actually funny (unlike, say, everything else they try to do). I’m intrigued and so should you be! The first few episodes will be shot over the next couple of weeks and will begin broadcasting on the site probably not long after that.

    Santino definitely is a funny guy, but I dont think they could write something around him for that kind of length.

    If it’s not funny, I’m at least hoping for “trainwreck” bad, much like anything Vince does that isn’t wrestling-related.

    SON A MA GUN!

  • See No Evil and The Marine were way better than The Condemned.

    It all depends on the script. Santino is a magician with the mic, but if everything else is terrible, not even Santino can save it.
