6 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (May 11th)
DOWNS
7. Last Dance
To anyone who thought that Fandangos recent face turn and mini-push would lead to anything it took only 37 seconds for you to get your answer Monday night. The dancing desperado got buried in epic fashion on Raw, losing to perennial jobber Erick Rowan in just over a half-minute. Making matters worse, the announcers immediately began speculating on how quickly Fandango would lose, giving him absolutely no shot and predicting a loss in about 1:30 which then was undercut by two-thirds. This isnt like Fandango going up against Brock Lesnar or even Big Show or Ryback, where you could get away with expecting a quick defeat. He was facing was Erick Rowan, who has spent the past seven months losing on Raw pretty regularly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13mcQgstOMk Adding insult to injury, Fandango got obliterated in a post-match beatdown, with the announcers largely treating him like a nameless face in the crowd. Something says that this guy wont be dancing to the pay window very often in the future.
