10 WWE Superstars Held Back By Scripted Promos
1. Fandango
On the subject of Southpaw Regional Wrestling, Chett Chetterfield also stood out, despite his limited lines - perhaps above everyone else.
Whether as Chett Chetterfield, Johnny Curtis, or Fandango, the real-life Curtis Hussey has been on WWE's payroll since 2006. The peak of his career came just after WrestleMania XXIX when the world became infatuated with his entrance music, making "Fandangoing" a common sight across social media.
It wasn't WWE's writing that helped Curtis achieve those 15 minutes of fame, it was his own portrayal of the Fandango character (and his awesomely camp theme). Though a Fandango appearance on RAW or SmackDown has become rare, he has popped up on WWE's alternative programming of late. These segments have helped his character endure.
Shows like Total Divas and Swerved have featured Fandango stealing some scenes, but his performance as Southpaw Regional Wrestling's co-host is absolute gold. Aside from the mannerisms and non-verbal communication Fandango perfected on SRW, his one-liners, timing, and delivery put the distracted Chett Chetterfield over the top. Chett's wardrobe didn't hurt, nor did Lance Catamaran's (John Cena) ability to play off Fandango.
He's obviously got more to offer than what fans have seen recently, and maybe some exposure as Chett Chetterfield can help get Fandango another shot.
