#4 Santino Marella

The most devastating move in Sports Entertainment

If we’re going to bring up the Santino of WCW, we might as well talk about Santino himself. Marella played the goofball loser role for a little under a decade in WWE, however, he was somewhat successful.

Being a former two-time Intercontinental champion, one time Tag Team champion, one time US champion, and... two-time Miss Wrestlemania, you might be wondering why he’s on this list. At least, if you weren’t watching WWE during his tenure, you’d be wondering that.

Anyone that was paying attention to the Milan Miracle knows exactly why he’s here.

Santino started his career with a win over the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga. But that wasn’t because of his in ring ability or strength. No, Umaga battered and beat Santino for about five minutes before he was saved by Umaga’s then-rival, Bobby Lashley.

After Lashley hit Umaga with a brain scrambling chair shot and a devastating spear, he dropped an unconscious Santino over the Intercontinental champion and held Santino down. Santino’s debut was a big moment for the WWE and the Milan crowd ate it up.

Santino defended the title one time against Chris Masters before dropping it back to Umaga a month later. After a few years, he found his place in the WWE as the comical goofball with the cobra for an arm.

Santino Marella might possibly be the greatest jobber of all time, but he has quite a bit of competition.
