Fandango's brief flurry of stardom from several years ago feels like a lifetime away right now. Ironically, the dancing man previously contested a short rivalry against Adam Rose, but neither man was never really given much TV time to make the feud memorable. On one level, the dancing characteristics of the Fandango gimmick have long outstayed their welcome, it feels old hat nowadays. Even when the guy has been switched from heel to babyface and vice versa, there haven't ever really been remarkable reasons for the turns. As a consequence, fans enjoy his entrance music, but are largely quiet during his matches. There's no real excitement when Fandango is on-screen, because the audience knows management don't see him as anything special. That's a problem, because if those writing the show feel that way, why should fans care? Fandango is treading water, and seems to fit into the unnerving bracket of being a 'jobber to the stars'. The man behind the dancing gimmick is a decent worker, so maybe it's time to hang up the dance shoes and move onto something fresh.
