WWE Superstar Santino Marella announced yesterday that he has accepted an invitation to play the imaginary trombone with the prestigious Boston Pops Orchestra.

The Italian-born wrestler, who has honed his imaginary musical chops while high-stepping around wrestling rings worldwide, will join the orchestra during its Fourth of July Spectacular on the Esplanade along Boston’s Charles River.

Sources close to Marella said the good-natured superstar has been practicing his imaginary trombone around the clock, and they imagine it is sounding very good.

“It will be a great honor to play with the Boston Poops (sic),” Marella tweeted yesterday.

“I will be the world’s greatest tromboner!”
