Former WWE Superstar Santino Marella entertained the WWE Universe during his time in the WWE with his funny antics. Mostly from his infamous finisher, The Cobra. He spoke to Why It Ended and while talking about his career, explained how he got the inspiration for his famous move.
This is what he had to say:
“Yeah like the unibrow was my idea, speedwalking was my idea. The only problem was that Vince loved it and he made me do it for a long time, I didn’t want to do it for that long. But again, I popped the right guy.”
“But in the beginning, I would have stuff written for me but as I began to bring to light the way Santino would then they would kind of give me bullet points and they would kind of tell me what they wanted me to say. They had a lot more confidence in me over the years so a lot of it was my creation though.”
“The Cobra… some drunk guy in a bar in Japan showed me the Cobra. I wish I could say it was mind but I was shown the Cobra. Even the trombone, the best thing I did was steal the trombone from ODB.”
Goes to show one can get inspiration from anything.
