4. Fandango
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article on other wrestlers who could benefit from joining
the Social Outcasts and one of the stars mentioned was Fandango. After mulling it over, I think we can all agree, the Fandango character is dead - nobody cares about the character anymore. The saddest part of it all is that Johnny Curtis, the man who plays the character, is actually a really good wrestler. It might shock fans to know that Curtis has been part of the WWE system for ten years. After starting in Deep South in 2006, he then moved to FCW in 2008 and was part of the fourth and fifth seasons of NXT(the game show version). In October 2012, he made his debut as Fandango and, after upsetting Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 29, his career has stagnated ever since. Curtis needs to go back to NXT - at 34 years old, he still has time to create a new character and make a go of it. The main focus of his NXT tenure this time round needs to be to create something that makes people forget about Fandango or, similar to Bray Wyatt, coming to the main roster, where initially they remembered him as Husky Harris but the Wyatt character was so effective that it was soon forgotten. Johnny Curtis has what it takes to be a star in wrestling, he just needs a better gimmick, and I'm confident that working at the Performance Center and Full Sail, he'd find it.
