Don't know what the hell that's about but it was sexy.

WWE has this wrestler that is supposed to be some dancing legend, Fandango.





It was just a joke and a mid-card kinda guy. But, he had a really great match with Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania. The next night on RAW the crowd really responded to him. New star in the making. Now, "Fandangoing" is the new internet craze.










Just one of those cool wrestling stories... you never know who may get over or why.

At this point, you just have to hope Fandango doesn't suffer the same fate as Zack Ryder when he got waaaaaaaaay over without the help of the WWE Machine.

That's the most valid criticism of WWE booking ever. Vince McMahon has always said that it's up to wrestlers themselves to get over with the fans. Zack Ryder did that and they put him in front of the camera and jobbed him out royally. I guess you could say he is still on TV about every week now and probably would've been cut a year ago if not for himself, but whatever.

Fandango is a Vince project so don't expect him to job anytime soon

Fyi...it's pronounces faaaaan-daaaan-go

The TERRIBLE Greenville crowd ruined his segment tonight. That whole crowd should've been sent home early on and they could've just piped in the crowd from last week.

Johnny Curtis was in the WWE minors for 6-7 years with nothing but a VERY brief cup of coffee on Smackdown a couple years ago. With his look he's likely a Triple H/Vince project, but odd they kept him down there so long.

That was a pretty bad crowd. It was average for a RAW crowd, but WWE was hoping for a bigger pop out of Fandango. I hope they don't give up on him because of that reaction tonight.

FAAAAHHHHHHNNNNN DAHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNN GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I must be the only one then that is annoyed by him.

I know where you are coming from. Yes, he was annoying when he first appeared. It's like the country song that you hated when you heard it, but started singing it in a way to make fun of it, before you know it, you like it.

He's the Red Solo Cup of Wrestling.

RAW is in London next week, so all will be right in the world.

I'm usually pretty good at catching onto what will get over, but Fandango caught me completely off guard.

And also, if you'll remember...it was the crowd in Miami the night after WrestleMania last year that got Daniel Bryan over with nothing more than "YES!" and "SI!"

The post-Wrestlemania RAW crowd is always awesome and not your typical RAW crowd. Can't wait till Wrestlemania weekend in NOLA next year.

It's not so much Curtis being the project as it is the actual fandango gimmick

I gotcha. So, basically Vince saw Dancing with the Stars for the first time last summer? Kinda Kim they were waaaaaaaay late discovering Twitter?
