12 Most Desperate Grabs For Relevancy In WWE

10. Fandango

The place was MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The date was the Raw after WrestleMania 29. The post-Mania crowds are always pretty raucous, and that night was no exception. That was the evening that Fandangoing was born. Despite trying and failing to establish himself as Johnny Curtis a few years before (does anyone remember the "don't cry over spilled milk" segment?), by 2012, the man known as Curtis Hussey was reborn as smooth-talking, dancing machine Fandango with Summer Rae. Summer would branch off on her own and be replaced with Rosa Mendes, who also vanished from Fandango's side. It's hard to get behind a gimmicky character whose main attraction is insisting that everyone learn how to properly pronounce his name. The Fandangoing phenomenon was a thing of beauty and must have been like a ray of hope for Hussey. However, in the end, even though WWE capitalized on the Fandangoing fame all it could, the trend petered out. Fandango himself never really recovered after losing Mendes and has been seen more and more infrequently. These days you can't find him on Raw or SmackDown.
