WWE: 7 Recent Gimmicks That Did Not Live Up To The Hype

5. Fandango

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdRMEWZJtQw Fantastic. Amazing. Nimble. Dashing. Attractive. Noteworthy. Gifted. Original. Perhaps the D in that video package should have been "Disappointing" because that's the only way to describe the Fandango gimmick since Johnny Curtis debuted it last year. They tried their best to make it work with Fandango getting a clean with over Chris Jericho at WrestleMania, which JBL still mentions on commentary, but other than that and a hot crowd the next night there hasn't been much to talk about with Fandango. It also feels like his dancing friend Summer Rae is going to get a push of her own without him although if that happens it would totally kill his gimmick. The guy needs a dance partner. If he dances alone he'll look too ridiculous and become a pure comedy guy like Santino. Fandango's a good performer. It's just that they haven't been able to give him anything to really work with. Nobody's going to get over with the fans if you're not seen as a big deal and right now Fandango's just another guy on the roster.
