10 Most Successful Wrestling PPV Debuts

Wrestling your first match on pay-per-view is high pressure, but making your in-ring debut at WrestleMania is ulcer-inducing. Fandango earned that honor by agreeing to face Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 29, weeks after refusing to compete on Raw and Smackdown because the announcers mispronounced his name. Y2J butchered his name in a hilarious promo, infuriating the ballroom dancer and prompting him to go fisticuffs.

Fandango surprised everybody by countering the Walls of Jericho into a pin, immediately establishing himself as a credible title contender. Unfortunately, his career went downhill from there as poor booking reduced him into a jobber and comedy act, seemingly destined to be released until teaming with Tyler Breeze as the popular Fashion Police.
