As promised in the intro, here he is.

On the 20 September 2013 episode of WWE Superstars, something magical happened. In a throwaway match between Santino Marella and JTG, the latter decided to take Marella's Cobra jab and sell it like he'd been vaporised. This was Ultimate Warrior foaming at the mouth levels of overselling.

It was sh*tting brilliant though, and the whole spot is made even more entertaining because of Santino's scurry to pin his victim after landing the strike. As silly as it undoubtedly is, this is the kind of fun guys could get away with on the show by 2013; Superstars was hardly a WWE priority (again) by then, and so everyone just had a laugh.

Must. Stop. Watching. GIF. And. Write. Next. Entry.
