10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (July 22)
6. Fandango Was Wary Of Letting Chris Jericho Down At WrestleMania 29
It's incredible to think now, but Fandango was briefly pushed as a featured name in 2013. Today, the dancing character is firmly on the under card, teaming with Tyler Breeze in a pretty boy tandem. Just a few years ago, he was going toe-to-toe with Chris Jericho on the grand stage of WrestleMania.
At 'Mania 29, Fandango and Y2J went out fourth on the biggest event of the year. After less than ten minutes of action it was the veteran who was staring at the lights, Fandango picking up a win over his elder peer. Things looked extremely bright for Fandango, but the man himself was full of his own little doubts.
Speaking to the Portland Press-Herald recently, Fandango revealed that he was super-nervous before the WrestleMania clash. Although confident in his own wrestling abilities, he was mindful of the man he was working with that evening. Simply put, Fandango just didn't want to let Chris Jericho down, knowing the Canadian had headlined 'Mania supercards before.
The match went off without a hitch, but Fandango had been worried beyond belief before actually performing.
