Santino's big push?

After watching last nights Elimination Chamber, me like everyone else was wandering if this was the start of a great push for Santino Marella? The Italian wrestler has been in the company since 2007, and has been a mid-card player trough out his career in WWE. But the one thing that has made his career so special, is the fact that he is a fan favorite, and just as popular as Cm Punk, John Cena, Randy Orton and Zack Ryder.

But he has not been granted with a great push in his career, until the Smack Down elimination match at Elimination Chamber. Santino got a minor push with his former tag team partner Vladimir Kozlov at the end of 2010 and through out the start of 2011. He is actually undefeated at Wrestlemania, having a 2-0 streak (Dark match in 2010 does not count, where Marella lost in a battle royal match).



So the reason i'm wandering if he is granted with a great push now, is the fact that he kicked out of a 3-count, after suffering from two finishers (Khali's Punjabi Punch, and Cross Rhodes from Rhodes). He also eliminated two wrestlers (Rhodes and Barrett), and was so close defeating Daniel Bryan. Santino has not even kicked out from a signature before, so the fact that he kicked out from two finishers was amazing! Even though he lost to Daniel Bryan, Santino Marella was the wrestler who got the biggest cheers from the fans, and at moments the fans cheered as loud as they used to cheer back in the attitude era.

If this was the start of a great push for Santino, time will show, anyway I was really impressed of his performance last night! He proved to me and to the scripters that he really deserve to participate in more Main Events!

Loved last nights Elimination Chamber, it was some great matches, and a lot of amazing action!
