About Santino
Anthony Carelli, born on March 14, 1974, is a Canadian professional wrestler known by the ring name Santino Marella. He is currently signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he serves as the on-screen director of authority. Carelli has also appeared in WWE, particularly on its NXT brand, and is recognized for his 11-year tenure with WWE. He made his WWE debut during a live episode of Raw from Milan, Italy, as the character Santino Marella, a fan-selected wrestler from the audience. In his debut match, he defeated the Intercontinental Champion Umaga to win the title. Throughout his time with WWE, Carelli secured the Intercontinental Championship twice, the United States Championship once, and the WWE Tag Team Championship once. He was also involved in a storyline where he portrayed Santina Marella, his twin sister. After his release from WWE in 2016, Carelli founded Battle Arts Academy, a martial arts and professional wrestling training facility in Mississauga, Ontario, and worked for Impact Wrestling under his real name. He participated in sporadic matches on the independent circuit and made occasional WWE appearances. In 2023, he returned to Impact Wrestling under the TNA banner, continuing as Santino Marella. His return to WWE's NXT brand occurred in 2025, supported by a partnership between WWE and TNA. Carelli is known for his humorous gimmick as Santino Marella, often engaging in comedic segments and storylines, including being crowned Miss WrestleMania at WrestleMania XXV disguised as Santina Marella. His persona was recognized as Best Gimmick in 2007 and 2008 by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

FAQs
Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
