10 Craziest Things That Ever Happened After WWE Raw Went Off The Air
9. FANDango
One of WWE's shortest-lived post-WrestleMania phenomenons after they unfortunately got hold of it themselves, 'Fandangoing' dripped in irony but nonetheless should have done more for Johnny Curtis' brand new gimmick emerging from his debut victory over Chris Jericho at 2013's 'Show Of Shows'.
Repackaged as a devious ballroom dancer, the former 'Durty Curty' had bucketloads of charisma with just a slither of sleaze in the role, but couldn't work around a decades-old pretence during a period latterly considered something of a 'reality era'. WrestleMania 29 was headlined by a John Cena/Rock rematch booked around their genuine distaste for another, CM Punk's 'pipe bomb' had (eventually) scored him a record-setting reign with the WWE Title a short time earlier, and the very same crowd that crooned his theme exploded for Dolph Ziggler's successful Money In The Bank cash-in earlier in the show.
The company couldn't not acknowledge the groundswell of support, airing the boisterous post-Raw singalong on their YouTube channel after fans had already revealed slightly-less-glossy equivalents on their phones. They were sadly more than a two-step behind the audience the following week too. Failing to capitalise on the meme-like quality of the movement, the company instead just trotted him out for a tepid in-ring interview about his weird week with Jerry Lawler. With nothing to talk about (and nothing to say), he heeled on the crowd and slotted straight back into his listless rivalry with Chris Jericho the following week.
