Boris Alexiev (Santino Marella) OVW Promo

[Jose Tortilla]

He had a Russian gimmick in OVW, he was a beast for sure!

It's funny to see he originally had a gimmick like this, and that he actually plays both this gimmick and his current one well, except that after seeing him today, you just can't take the video seriously.

True. But the thing is, he was bloody serious in OVW, but I see your point. 1:

Yes, I know. When you think about the transition it's really ironic that the gimmicks are so different. His OVW gimmick was basically Vladimir Kozlov's, a Russian guy who's trained in martial arts and kicks everybody's ass, except Carelli can actually work a match and the mic.

Serious question. Does Santino Marella really have any sort of accent?

 

[Leo C]

I don't think so, but I don't really know.

Reports say that he speaks fluent English. He's a Canadian after all.
