Raw Recap – May 11th


Chavo and Vickie are bragging in their office about their exhibition match. Santina stops by and asks if they wanted to see her. Vickie wants to know if its true that she called her swine like last week. She says it wasn’t her, because she wasn’t here last week. They’re thinking of her twin brother Santino. Chavo tells her to give it up because they all know she’s Santino, and he tries to prove it by taking her wig off. He slaps him and tells him she’s not that kind of girl. Vickie brings in Rosa and Beth, and asks Rosa to give Santina a good luck kiss before her big match with Santina to see if she’s who she says he is. Of course she can’t control herself and makes out with Rosa. Chavo says he knew he couldn’t resist, and wants her to go ahead and admit it. She says she’ll admit it, she is a, how do you say, a lesbiano. Its just that she doesn’t prefer the company of pigs as she looks at Vickie. He makes a few pig noises at Vickie, and then leaves giving Rosa a smack on the ass on the way out. Absolutely hilarious.

Beth Phoenix (w. Rosa Mendes) vs. Santina Marella
Big Santina chant from the crowd to start. “She” is literally getting by far the biggest reaction of the night. Beth delivers a few shoudlerblocks in the corner, and then clotheslines Santina over the top to the floor. Beth goes out after her, and PRESS SLAMS SANTINA INTO THE RING. Unreal! Back inside Beth gets an abdominal stretch, but Santina quickly hiptosses out. She misses a clothesline on Beth, and gets put in a full nelson hilarious screaming in high pitched tones the entire time. Santina tries to power out, but has to resort to the butt butt to break the hold. Beth gets a double leg takedown, and grounds and pounds on Santina. Santina comes back with a small package to pick up the victory and remain undefeated at 2:41.
Winner: Santina Marella (Pinfall-Small Package *)

Raw Recap – April 27th

Santina Marella, Kelly Kelly, Brie Bella, & Mickie James vs. Maryse, Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendes, & Jillian Hall
Santina is on the face team which amuses me greatly. The faces all got separate entrances while the heels enter as a unit. Santina starts the match with Beth, but when he realizes who the opponent is he tries to tag. Beth hits a chop, and Santino tags in Brie. Beth hits a bodyslam on Brie and then mounts with a pair of punches. Tag to Jillian who goes for a cartwheel legdrop which misses. Brie heads under the ring where she finds Nikki and HORNSWOGGLE~! Horny chases Rosa off, and Maryse and Beth chase him back under the ring. The check after him and get he sprays the fire extinguisher on them. Meanwhile Santina rolls up Jillian to pick up the win at 1:43. Afterwards as the face divas celebrate Hornswoggle slides underneath the ring and gets a look up Santina’s skirt. Needless to say he was not pleased with what he saw. Mickie pulls her skirt up revealing the bulge and Hornswoggle faints before sprinting to the locker room in horror. Total slapstick comedy match, and I loved every minute of it. Sue me. Not sure how you rate it, because it wasn’t much of a match, but it was hilarious.
Winners: Santina Marella, Kelly Kelly, Brie Bella, & Mickie James (Santina pins Jillian-Rollup *)

Santino comes out to say that he may have been denied entry into the diva battle royal by Vickie Guerrero but went over her head to WWE President JACK TUNNEY!!! Santino says he found Tunney passed away several years ago, but he will still be heard because he’s an equal rights pioneer. Santino says he’s going to prove to everyone that he has what it takes by competing in a swimsuit competition. Santino says when its all over maybe the ladies can go to the kitchen and cook him up something tasty like a calzone. Santino says he’s going to unleash the “Mankini”. Santino takes off his robe and reveals a Borat-esque bikini. Everyone thinks it’s hilarious but Beth, and then all of the divas attack Santino throwing him out of the ring. Beth and Rosa run to cover him up and return backstage.

Raw Recap – March 23rd


From the commercial break, we see Santino Marella, Beth Phoenix and Rosa Mendes in the ring with Santino saying that there’s going to be a 25-Diva battle royal with the winner to be crowned Miss WrestleMania. Santino says that he knows who the winner is going to be and it’s going to be him!! He says that after Mickie James attacked him last week, he went to Vickie Guerrero and asked to be put into the battle royal. She told him that if he could beat Mickie James this week with one arm tied behind his back, he’s in. He says that he’s going to prove that he’s man enough to be Miss WrestleMania. That unibrow of his is tremendous!!

Mickie James w/Kelly Kelly and Melina vs. Santino Marella w/Beth Phoenix and Rosa Mendes
Santino misses a charge right out of the gate and Mickie drops him with a single-leg, tying both of Santino’s arms behind his back as he begs off. He finally makes his way back to his feet and yells that he doesn’t need “no handsa to a beata you”. She lifts her hands up for a test of strength and he kicks her legs out from under her legs, dropping to his knees with a pair of headbutts. Santino tries to do Bob and Doug Mackenzie proud with a steamroller, but Mickie gets out of the way. She hits a low dropkick and manages a two-count off of it before Santino kicks her down. Santino heads up to the top rope…or at least tries to. Rosa and Beth try to talk him out of it and he gets all the way up to the second rope before Mickie cuts him off. Beth gets up onto the apron and pulls on the top rope, sending Santino off the ropes into the ring. Mickie hits a big kick to the back of Santino’s head and there’s the pin. Mercifully.
Winner: Mickie James (pinfall, kick to the head)
