Before we begin, here's a fun fact. Only two WWE Superstars kicked out of Santino Marella's "deadly" finisher, The Cobra: Sheamus and Daniel Bryan. It was probably because Marella was majorly used as a comedy act in WWE. However, there is no denying that he was also really good at it. He gave us many hilarious moments, even though he had to embarrass himself on TV most of the time.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

However, his most hilarious segment would be his match against JTG during an episode of WWE Superstars. It was during this segment that we knew how "deadly" Marella's Cobra actually was. JTG evaded Marella's Cobra attempt for a sleeper hold. What happened next was a hilarious sequence of events which involved overselling at its peak. Credits must be given to both Marella and JTG for the comedy gold that we enjoyed back then.
