10 Gimmicks WWE Cancelled For Being TOO SUCCESSFUL

10. Fandango

DAAA-DUH! DAAA-DAAA-DAAA-DUH-DUH! DUH-DUH-DUH!

Anyone who lived through WWE's 2013 will remember that. Fandango's catchy entrance theme blew up overnight, and turned the dancing fool from Chris Jericho's random WrestleMania 29 conquerer into a sudden flavour of the month sensation who dominated space on iTunes as well.

The promotion embraced this unexpected mainstream attention at first. They presented Fandango as a hot newcomer who could sustainably thrive atop WWE cards, but then... they lost interest. It's almost like Vinnie Mac decided the tune sucked after setting it as his Blackberry ringtone and hearing it non-stop.

As quickly as he'd landed in the collective fan consciousness, Dango was plucked from it.

He was supposed to be a heel, damn it! A concussion before challenging for the Intercontinental Title then wrecked the dancer's remaining momentum and Fandango's brief moment in the sun was very-much over. He'd never reach those heights again, partly 'cause WWE got frosty on embracing that fans were in on the fun.
