Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring my friends meeting celebrities.
Santino Marella made his mark in wrestling as a bit of a comedy act. It wasn't that he wasn't a good wrestler. It was more that he was hilariously funny. Whether intentionally mispronouncing names (John Chaina) or bringing out the Cobra (sock over his hand), Marella kept all entertained. In fact, he may have been too funny for the sake of his wrestling. Don't discount his wresling though. This wouldn't work if he wasn't a solid wrestler.
Someone else you shouldn't discount in the ring is Crystal White. She might look beautiful, but she is a force in the ring. Crystal has been doing more wrestling lately, but she has built a solid 20+ career in the ring.
As I have written, I first met her back about 10 years ago at Resistance Pro. Unfortunately, a video cam malfunction costs me my interview with "The Original Diva." I'm still trying to get that interview done. Let this serve as my public plea or my manifestation to interview Crystal this year.
Crystal and Santino met at Great Lakes Championship Wrestling's Blizzard Brawl. This is a great annual event, featuring wrestling legends and current stars. I was fortunate enough to get a picture with both of them.
