Thoughts on this? Johnny Curtis has a new gimmick... Probably won't even work but if it was on RAW... He might be on TV a bit more.

He played creepy pretty well, just find a cross betweent hat and Rick Rude. His ring and mic work are fine, just depends on the gimmick extremes

Wait did this air on RAW? I might have missed it. I feel his creepy character was really good and this could be a step back but if it gets him on my TV then I'm all for it.

Yeah, it aired on RAW. I also missed it, happened to find the video.

I know he's been doing this gimmick lately in dark matches, I hope he debuts it next week on RAW.

The worst name since the Gobbeldygooker. I wish Bateman wasn't injured. I want The USA Guy to debut!

Sounds to me like they're making a fun guy to jump on the success Brodus Clay brought. Not a fan of Curtis anyway tbh so I have low expectations for this.

I think Curtis can make it work, he definitely made the creeper gimmick work. Should be good for some laughs.

Same type of guy he was playing on NXT recently, like 96 Goldust without the makeup.

Are there any vids of this? I want to see this, as Goldust 96-2002 is one of my favorite characters of all time.

I thought he was supposed to be creepy like early Goldust? Where is the proof of this? All I see is another version of Dancin' Alex Wright dancing a tango to the ring..?

His name has already been changed to FANDANGO. That video that aired on RAW had me interested, this is one of those odd gimmicks that could actually work. The key is not making it a comedy character, it can have funny moments, but in the ring it has to be serious otherwise it won't last. Looking forward to seeing what actually happens with this.
