Santino Holmes And The Mystery Of The Missing Manager

I am particularly excited about the latest two to be inducted into The Howard Ostrom Collection's Television Section. 

WWE Wrestlers 
Anthony Carelli (better known by his ring name Santino Marella) and Ron "R-Truth" Killings. 

It was during  an episode of WWE Raw in 2012 that the former intercontinental champion donned the deer stalker, lens and pipe to become  Sherlock Holmes in a bid to once and for track down the "Anonymous General Manager".

In the story line for months on end mysterious commands and match stipulations would arrive via email to the announcers to read out from the unknown General Manager, these were often infuriating and unfair to the superstars but as they had no idea who the manager actually was there was little they could do to argue with them. 

Santino used his new found powers of deduction to uncover the clues leading him to finally be able to track down who was behind the charade - a leprechaun known as Hornswoggle who had taken to hiding under the ring with his laptop...

Its all true I assure you. 

Which brings us to our next subject Ron "R Truth" Killings. During another episode of RAW in 2012, R-Truth became Sherlock Holmes during a back stage sketch for the purpose's of "finding" former Smackdown General Manager Teddy Long a job. 

He was accompanied by his invisible best friend Lil Jimmy who in this instance was being "Jimmy Watson". Sadly we have as of yet been unable to get his autograph to add to the collection. 

As someone who has loved WWE (formerly WWF) for over 20 years these two are some of my personal favourite unique pieces that are in the collection. 

You might think that is mad and re-reading the article as above....you are probably right, but there you go.
