Santino Marella was recently a guest on “Chasing Glory With Lilian Garcia”. During the interview, he discussed the Milan Miracle – the night that saw him make his debut as a “fan” and shockingly win the Intercontinental Title from Umaga. Here’s what he had to say:
I was actually talking about it to Shane McMahon a couple of weeks ago. You both believe in things like the energy that people have and the power of attention. When you’re in an arena and the seats are all designed, they’re all converging on one focal point and you’re that focal point. The kinetic energy from that attention, I swear it changed my molecular… I’ve felt different every single day, even when I’m not competing. It altered something, you’re so fully supersaturated with that kinetic energy that stays with you forever.
When I was in high school, my buddies used to joke and call me ‘Center Stage’. After that moment, never really had that desire ever again. I was so fully and completely fulfilled that I don’t have to be the center of attention anymore. I was the ultimate center of attention for that moment.
