Santino Marella: I Want To Pay Tribute To My Time With Beth Phoenix By Working With Jordynne Grace
Santino Marella is interested in working with Jordynne Grace in IMPACT Wrestling.
At the Hard To Kill pay-per-view in January, Santino Marella joined IMPACT Wrestling and became the promotion’s Director Of Authority. Marella’s stint with the company has seemingly been received well by fans thus far.
As many fans will remember, Marella first became a big name in the world of wrestling during his run with WWE. Marella’s time in WWE is often remembered for his run with Beth Phoenix, where the two had great on-screen chemistry together.
In a new interview with Metro UK, Marella spoke highly of Phoenix and said that she’s a Hall of Famer for a reason.
“I knew Beth from OVW. I love Beth to death, her and her husband [Edge], they’re just awesome people. When two people really get wrestling, they get [the idea of] working together, they get the notion of making the people you work with look better and in turn you look better. She’s a very giving person, and that’s why we were comfortable giving each other as much as we could because we knew it would be reciprocated. She’s obviously a Hall of Famer, she’s amazing, man.”
Marella also noted that he would be interested in paying tribute to his past partnership with Phoenix by working with IMPACT’s Jordynne Grace.
“I wouldn’t mind doing something, kind of like a tribute to that moving forward with Jordynne Grace. Her [husband Jonathan Gresham is] there so it’s kind of awkward.”
Marella recently discussed joining IMPACT Wrestling in a separate interview. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
