Santino Marella should be handed some sort of award for keeping his cool. The comedic midcarder showed remarkable restraint by refusing to slap the p*ss out of Jim Cornette when the old-timer slapped him following an OVW show in 2005.

Cornette wasn't happy that Santino had laughed on camera during The Boogeyman's bit, and decided to teach him a lesson backstage. In interviews since, Marella has spoken about putting the controversial traditionalist in his place at some point in the future, but largely laughs off any suggestions that Jim rattled him.

In 2017, some interesting footage emerged of a heated confrontation between the pair at a convention. Throughout, Cornette could be heard mouthing off like he was cutting a promo about The Midnight Express, but Santino again kept things in check despite having a finger in his face for 90% of the chat.

Thus far, Marella hasn't acted on teases that he'll give Jim that receipt.
