[APPLAUSE] >> And there's a rollup, legs hooked.
[NOISE] Mickie wins it.
Mickie James has beaten the Glamazon.
>> I had lost the women's title.
I'm no longer the big dragon to be slayed, I've been beaten, so now what?
How do I reinvent, where do I go?
>> Santino Marella.
>> You're going to see that fat Dino and Santino, we are the real wieners.
>> You mean winners.
>> Winners, we win.
>> Santino, he's kind of got this comedic edge to him,
I think he might be a good dynamic for like a big bullyish type of girlfriend.
So I wrote a one page idea for this dynamic between myself and
Santino kind of having a romance on the show.
And I walked into Vince's office and I gave Vince the idea.
And I said I'd really like to do this, this is something that I feel strongly
about, I think we could make some money with this, Vince.
He goes thank you for your thoughts.
The next week Vince comes up to me and sees me, and
he goes we're gonna go with your idea.
>> We both looked at each other, we're like yeah, okay, all right,
this will be great.
>> Aah!
>> It clicked, man, it really clicked so well.
>> Ho-ho!
>> Whoa! >> It was how we played off each other
that really made it work.
I was being silly and goofy, and she was just stone faced.
>> The tabloids call us Glamarella, it's a phenomenon.
>> Glamarella's got all the gold.
>> You gotta be kidding me.
>> We had a lot of awesome adventures together as a tandem.
>> Come down, Beth Phoenix.
>> Where Santino would do everything within his power to get me to laugh.
>> We could bounce ideas off each other really freely, she saw the comedy and
she was game.
And we had so much fun, we looked forward to coming to work every day.
>> There's no pins in the bed, Santino.
>> [SOUND] [LAUGH] >> [LAUGH]
>> There were so many dynamics,
like Santino feeling like he was not the alpha in the relationship.
>> Make yourself useful.
>> [LAUGH] >> So his briliant idea was he was gonna
sneak in the Women's Battle Royal at WrestleMania.
>> Look at Melina and Beth.
>> There's a diva in there that I don't really recognize.
>> And if he won, see, men are better athletes.
>> Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Wait, wait, wait!
[MUSIC]
>> My name is Santina, I'm Santino Marella's twin sister from Italy.
>> Beth Phoenix is a little emotional as well, screaming this was her moment.
>> Vince loved it so
much, to the point that Santina stuck around for three months.
>> All right, cut the crap, okay.
You threw me over the top rope in the Battle Royal last night.
>> It's every girl for herself, honey.
>> Is it?
>> Beth and I would be getting our makeup done [LAUGH] side by side,
getting our lashes put on, it was fun from the beginning right to the end.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> It's Santina.
>> What?
>> [APPLAUSE] >> WrestleMania 2009,
Santina Marella eliminated Beth Phoenix become Miss WrestleMania,
clearly Beth has not forgotten.
>> At the end of the day Beth is a fan, and
Beth understands what fans like to see.
>> [LAUGH].
>> Wait a minute, wait a minute.
>> I think Santino really helped bring out a kind of a lighthearted side of
the Glamazon that people weren't used to seeing.
>> He contributed so much to making me look dominant as a performer.
>> Bravo, that was awesome.
>> Probably my favorite time in my career.
>> Well, Beth with her little cannoli, she likes to call Santino.
>> She's what you want as a role model, she's what you want as a colleague.
We really complement each other quite well.
