15 Funniest Stars In WWE History
4. Santino Marella
When Santino made his WWE debut as the 'Milan Miracle', plucked from an Italian audience for a match with Intercontinental champion Umaga, few could have envisaged the enduring career he would carve out for himself built around his impressive comedic chops.
He created a character who was a bumbling fool, often oblivious to his surroundings or the consequences of his actions. He also was a performer who could take material that sounded terrible on paper and make it something terrific.
His unlikely partnership with Vladimir Kozlov made for a surprising comedy duo, as did his time with the Glamazon Beth Phoenix. Santino never received a serious push after his debut, but he never needed it. This was a guy happy to do anything to connect with the crowd and make them laugh, no matter how silly it made him look.
