I can see it now. Fandango is the new Zack Ryder.
The IWC is all over the guy right now, give it 12 months and some poor booking choices and there'll be plenty of "it's his own fault he's not World Champ right now". ![]() |

So I listened to the chart update and I had to suffer listening to Paramore, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne to see what position Fandango's theme has made it to so far.
They didn't play it. |

According to Radio 1's midweek chart, Fandango's theme isn't in the Top 40 yet.

No. I love Fandango. I've been a fan of Curtis since his ill-fated SmackDown run a few years back. Everyone - everyone - should be on the Fandango Bandwagon (or Fandwagon if you please). |

Some dude:
"Spoke to a guy who works at the official charts company. Says Fandango's theme isn't officially in the top 200 yet but if there's been a surge today, as there has been, it wouldn't have been acknowledged in today's midweek chart publication. Says there's a flash at 6pm tomorrow with more updates, could be worth checking!" |

A lot of the people singing his praises in this thread have been doing so since he was on NXT Redemption well over a year ago and some go even further back than that. Hardly an overnight boner for the guy.
Also this is different from the Ryder situation because WWE actually want Fandango to get over. |

Ziggler was pretty much loved by the IWC and then just played random guy for a bit. But he's just blew everyone the fuck away.

Whether people like the gimmick or not, it gives the audience something to be entertained by, and makes Curtis memorable.
No one would give a shit if he came out fresh from NXT looking like a generic jobber #bodallas |

A gimmick like this helps establish him and hopefully he will evolve and become a unique character that is over and memorable. Trriple H started as a "Connecticut Blue Blood" and organically evolved in the character we see today. A legitimate long-lasting star isn't established in a matter weeks or even months - it takes years.

I don't think it's even a bad gimmick really, it's unique, and at least there's more to it than randomly shaking guys hands backstage, I just don't see there being any longevity unless it evolves quickly. I think if Curtis is given mic time and a decent push he'll get over easily though, guy was amazing with the backstage stuff on NXT.

He has shown a very aggressive side to the character, and feuding with Jericho is an awesome launching point for the character. He keeps having good matches and riveting feuds, he can slowly phase out the dance schtick and become more of his own guy. Curtis is an eccentric guy, so he will keep those little things that make Fandango interesting.

I think there's a decent chance we see him evolve into that Johnny Curtis character or something similar, we've already seen bits of him with the various nicknames, the manliness quips, the comedy involved in him insisting his name be said right despite getting hammered by Jericho, general eccentricities etc. The more of that stuff we see I think the more people are going to latch onto him, not to mention this now potential trend of singing and dancing along to his theme, that'll be huge in terms of the office picking up on it and running with it etc. "Very excited" about where he could go from here

i have been completely skeptical of this character, but the last month or so has really given me something to enjoy. i never saw him on NXT, so i have nothing to base my opinion on except for his work as fandango. i'm interested, and i thought i was going to hate it.

I'm interested to see where they run with Fandango once his feud with Jericho is done. Do they put him in a mid-card storyline, perhaps give him either the US or IC Title, or do they move him against a heavier main event-level opponent? The WWE has done a good job at plugging young talent into main event roles lately.

I feel like the Johnny Curtis/Maxine duo could have gotten over huge on the main roster doing their shtick.
