He never got the tag title shot he was promised for winning NXT season 4.

Let's be honest, did anyone really expect a salsa dancer gimmick to go to the main event? Don't get me wrong, I love the Dango, but it was inevitable.

I liked Fandango since he dubuted, he played his charcter great when he was doing the 'say my name properly', then he faced Chris Jericho, who is a huge name, after that win he had a ton of momentum, nevermind the fact that he was over as . Everything was working out great. Great gimmick + great wrestler + momentum + being over = good future, right? This is were I don't get it. WWE could really of capitilised on this, how did he go from beating Chris Jericho at wrestlemania to losing to El Torito? People say WWE screwed over the likes of Ryback and Sandow, which I agree with, but not as much as Fandango. No one will ever take him seriously now. They really, really screwed this one up. Making him a joke was really one of their worst decisions. Any thoughts on this? I havnt watched wwe in years, so please excuse me if I say something wrong or off. It seems like this happens in wwe all of the time. It seems like the trend in wwe is to make everything a joke. I dont know for sure but I think it is done because they want everything to appeal to 5 year olds. As you stated before, they did this with Sandow and Ryback. They also have done it to Tensai/ATrain, Brodus, Vicera, Mark Henry, and im sure more that I dont know of. Brock Lesner and Batista should be thanking god that Vince didnt want to turn them into clowns too.

Brock and Batista just don't have the look to be clowns, and yeah, WWE does do this a lot, if you're gonna make someone beat the likes of Jericho, don't drop the ball with him.

Brodus and Tensai didnt look like clowns but yet Vince made them dance around like clowns. Billy and Chuck didnt look like clowns and Vince made them be a gay couple. Ryback doesnt look like a clown but Vince had him jobbing often from what I hear. I wonder what determines how Vince will want to present a wrestler on television.

I think his theme was over more than the character. I don't see anything in Fandango, so I'm not shocked or disappointed in his lack of push.

If you told me there was a wrestler named 'the Devils favorite demon' Kane that is apparently from 'hell' is say that's more silly than a dancing gimmick

No. I said it's not the type of gimmick that will be longstanding and continually entertain. Also, Kane isn't billed from hell. And yeah, he's not a demon anymore, he's a corporate -boy.

He never got the tag title shot he was promised for winning NXT season 4. He actually did cash in that title shot. I think what put the nail in the coffin for Fandango was his constant losing to during his romance angle with Layla and Summer Rae.

I think they jumped the shark with him once Stephanie referenced how on Raw the night following WrestleMania, the NJ crowd loved him and then how a short time later the crowds stopped caring. Once the crowds stopped, that's when he got relegated down to a permanent residency on Smackdown with Santino for two months straight.

Fandango is awesome at his character. But he's been wrestling for over a decade and he still wrestles like a rookie, so awkward in the ring. It's a shame that he's not on TV more, though. The more characters in WWE, the better!
