Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.
This week we look at one of the best comedy wrestlers in history: Santino Marella. We look at some of his biggest moments, from winning the Intercontinental Championship in his debut to almost capturing the World Heavyweight Championship. Matches against Kofi Kingston, Daniel Bryan, and Jack Swagger are all on the list. All throughout we get some top notch comedy from Santino. On top of all these matches, Evan & Javier also talk about:
- Scary movies
- Ben Affleck
- WWE is bad at whodunits
- Best Cobra moments
- Losing last names
And a lot more.
