Santino Marella, who had been the acting Director of Authority with Scott D’Amore sidelined in Impact Wrestling, returned to in-ring action when he teamed with Dirty Dango & Joe Hendry against The Design (Angels, Callihan, Deaner & Kon) at the recent Rebellion pay-per-view event.
His daughter, Arianna Grace (Bianca Carelli), is signed to WWE NXT. Appearing on the Ignorance Is Strength with Fabian Ojeda podcast, the former WWE Superstar was asked about a potential WWE Hall of Fame induction.
“I don’t know. There are a lot of well-respected people that are pretty confident I’m going in. I don’t know. I hope working for IMPACT doesn’t take away from that anymore. If it happens ten years from now, that would be cool. My daughter is 27, but I also have a one-year-old and a four-year-old. I just wrestled in front of my four-year-old for the first time at the Rebellion pay-per-view. It made me realize that I want to wrestle a little bit just for him and my younger daughter, just to give them a memory. My son is only four. Do you remember shit from when you were four your whole life? A wrestling match is a big thing, he might remember that, or have pictures of it. I’ll probably have to wrestle when he’s seven or eight just to make sure he remembers the event. I may have to wrestle for a few more years, sporadically, and give them some lifelong memories,” he said.
