There's been talk for quite some time that WWE superstar Santino Marella will be getting a body guard in the near future, much like Chavo Guererro bringing in Bam Neely.

We've learned that WWE has signed a wrestler named Al Barone to play Santino's enforcer. Barone wrestled in Puerto Rico as "Cyber Viking" for the IWA promotion and as "Paul Leduc" in WWC. More recently, Barone had been wrestling for Ohio Valley Wrestling's subsidiary, Derby City Wrestling. He is expected to be brought up to television sooner than later.
