Santino Marella has had a few memorable romance angles over the years, but his dalliances with Maria and Emma have got nothing on the time he was loved up with Beth Phoenix.

After Phoenix wrestled and beat Santino on an episode of Raw, they began to develop strange feelings for each other. This led to Glamarella, a nod to Santino's surname and Phoenix's nickname, "The Glamazon".

Whilst they were definitely an odd couple, Pheonix's no nonsense attitude and Marella's bumbling comedy really complimented each other. She was the perfect straight woman to his hapless antics and the crowds absolutely lapped their segments up.

The pairing also led to championship success, as Glamarella defeated Kofi Kingston and Mickie James to win their respective Intercontinental and Women's Championships.

This was the title reign that saw Santino introduce the "Honk-a-Meter", comparing his run to that of The Honky Tonk Man's - yet another brilliant feature of Glamarella's time together.

Glamarella came to a tragic end when Santino entered and won the Miss WrestleMania Battle Royal as "Santina", causing Beth to get jealous. Not the greatest of finales for the couple, but at least we'll always have the memories.
