WWE To Begin Shooting a Sitcom Starring Santino Marella

InsideTV.aol.com is reporting that WWE will begin shooting a new sitcom project which is going to star Santino Marella. The company plans to shoot the first three episodes of the show in 2 weeks, then take it from there. Santino Marella was quoted as saying the following in the AOL interview: "In two weeks, we're filming the first three episodes," Santino said. "It will air at first on the dot com, then after that we will get it to a network television."

It appears that USA Network VP Chris McCumber is not aware of WWE's plans, however, as he said "I'm not aware of it. I need to see it. He's quite a comedic character, so no doubt he will have a good sitcom."

i'D WATCH IT.

Lol, I'd watch it too.

Finallyy, Santino will shine!

iWould so watch this.. put it on Thursday Night's & it would totally keep Me from watching iMPACT! ,because if it's not Hogan's bullshiit that doesn't.. it will be Santino's funny shiit! ,Lol..

Another slap in the face to professional wrestling, nice

I'd watch. I'm pro pro-wrestling but Santino is just made of awesomeness.

I hope this isn't just another WWE.com thing and it's being blown out of proportions.

I also read somewhere that Beth would play his girlfriend and Vladimir (I think it was him) his best friend.

there hasnt been a comedic character like Santino in years, why hate this if it hasnt had a chance to shine? its not a shitty John Cena movie for fucks sake

Every match he's had in the last two years and in SVR 2010 he has been allowed to shine. A show to himself is fuckin' overkill

Yay this will be EPIC! Beth may not show it on tv but she has a good sense of humor. Just read her twitter.

Santino can wrestle, they are more focused on the comedic side of him though..there's a video of him doing a variety of submissions and throws

I havent seen not one damn lick of ability from him ever since his character turned more into a Looney Tune. In his matches, the only thing he's missing are those Wily E. Coyote/Road Runner signs then there is his CONSTANT presence in SVR 2010

Sigh...again I'm NOT talking about his wrestling....his COMEDY...his promos and shit like that. Shit that has NOTHING to do with his inring work
