7. WWE Filmed A Santino Sitcom That Never Aired
WWE.comSantino filmed episodes of a WWE style sitcom in 2010. It was a different sort of venture for WWE, but they tried it with him because he was gaining popularity as one of their best comedic characters ever. Here's how Santino explained the show to
IGN in 2010: "The first season will air on WWE.com and after that we'll try to get it to network television. It's about the home life of Santino Marella. Kind of like
Seinfeld with myself and Beth Phoenix is my girlfriend on the show and my best friend is Vladimir Kozlov. It will be done on the two and a half days that we're off the road and at home. Home for the show is Tampa, Florida." They filmed a few episodes of it. However, it never aired on WWE.com, nor did any Network pick it up. Perhaps WWE still has the episodes taped somewhere and for all we know they could air it on WWE Network although there's no indication that is going to happen. This was around the time when Kozlov became a babyface tag team partner of Santino and Beth was in a storyline with him years earlier.
