10 Biggest One Hit Wonders In Wrestling History
6. Fandango
Known for: Fandango-ing.
Sound, mate. You learned how to gyrate your hips and point your fingers to the sky. You are no more Earth-shatteringly innovative than a toddler celebrating Fireman Sam extinguishing yet another questionable blaze while high on blended carrot muck.
A victor of the rambunctious Raw-after-WrestleMania crowd, Fandango - whose original main roster debut, as Johnny Curtis, saw him literally crying over spilt milk because isn't WWE just the funniest company in the game (!) - got lucky. Jim Johnston wrote him a catchy tune, and 'Dango developed the easiest-to-learn dance moves to accompany it. It was a lazy bid that was exposed once "normal" crowds returned to their seats.
Why didn't he thrive after: because nobody has ever survived a dancing gimmick.
Nobody took Too Cold Scorpio seriously after he became Flash Funk. Ernest Miller danced his way into the 2004 Royal Rumble and straight back out. Brodus Clay, literally the year before Fandango, was recast as 'The Funkasaurus' and saw no ounce of character direction that separated his Planet Funk residence from his loathsome run as Alberto Del Rio's bodyguard.
Fandango was Johnny Curtis masquerading as someone WWE gave a sh*te about.
They didn't. Nobody did.
