Santino Marella web show 'Foreign Exchange' (Episode one)

by Geno Mrosko on Feb 1, 2012 1:47 PM EST in WWE

Here's the debut episode of the new Santino Marella web show entitled "Foreign Exchange," which features Marella walking around backstage at a WWE event and interviewing anybody, from folks on the street to superstars to Divas.

This is one of the nine YouTube exclusive web shows popping up on the WWE page following the beginning of the agreement between the two.

The other eight shows are:

WWE Presents
WWE Download
Backstage Fallout
Are You Serious?
WWE Inbox
Outside the Ring
Superstar Toyz
Z! True Long Island Story

Based on what Santino's show looks like, I think everyone worried that Zack Ryder's show would get a different look and feel can rest easy.

After the jump you can check out the debut episode of WWE Inbox, which isn't even worth a separate post of its own. Essentially, it's just a bunch of WWE "fans" asking questions and various superstars and Divas answering them. The questions leave a lot to be desired, to say the least. Check it out:

Excellent ball control

If WWE does this right

These could be excellent. A great way to give characters extra air time, get the fans more involved, and promote the brand. For all the flaws WWE has in giving fans content (WWE Netowork), they occasionally hit on something brilliant.

A++

I loved both of these and was grinning like a maniac throughout. It’s interesting that the wrestlers appear to be out of character—the heels are just portrayed as normal dudes. I wonder if that’s something that will change. Tangentially, Daniel Bryan’s restaurant on Thompson St. must Quantum Leap if you were wondering. God, I love him more every time I see him interviewed. Also tangentially, I’ve read that Santino is Italian-Canadian and born in Canada, so is that accent real? Same question with Kofi—he’s the most American-sounding Ghanian I’ve ever heard. Does anyone know if he’s actually spent significant time in Ghana aside from being born there?

Im pretty sure that Santinos

is totally fake and as for Kofi’s Im pretty sure he did some schooling up here in Maine so any smooth accent he had coming in would have been cancelled out by our harsh New England accent.
