Persp, you're into comedic wrestling right? You should check out Santino! THAT DUDE IS FUNNY
I like levity in some matches and some serious matches. The more important thing is if they are able to achieve what they are going for. Cabana/Peck at High Noon last year was a stand out as a phenomenal match, despite the fact that the comedic element behind it turns a lot of people off.
Santino is an under appreciated talent. For all of the sock puppetry and shitty superstars matches he gets, the rare times they let him go out and perform (Elimination Chamber this year stands out) he does pretty well.
That said, the majority of his matches are really bad comedy wrestling. Pulling out a sock puppet to hit your move with a snake move isn't funny, the only times they've gotten mileage out of it are the times like when he was wearing one on his foot. There are enough funny tropes in wrestling to play with that you should be able to toy with the audience's expectations in order to get a laugh.
Right now I think a program between Regal and Santino would be amazing and would teach Santino a thing or two about humour.
You're right. It was a much better thread when people just spoke in JPGs or GIFs.
Yep.
