Jericho discusses Fandango's character

[Crayo]

Chris Jericho discussed Fandango’s character during an interview with Hooked on Wrestling.
“I think probably when I did Dancing with the Stars Vince probably watched it and thought all the dancers looked gay and thought they’d make a great heel. This is his his new pet project. He loves it. He’s rolled with it from the start and now it’s getting over to a degree – I don’t know if he’s more over or the song is over, but at least there’s a reaction.

“To be honest I did a lot of that to make it happen. It’s why Vince put me with him for Wrestlemania. I wasn’t really super excited about it at the start as you can probably imagine but but then after a bit I realized what the task was and that it was a challenge!

“I told Vince probably about a week before Wrestlemania, he’s going to be a babyface soon. ‘Why?’ he says. Because it’s such a ridiculous character and he plays it so well so far that most of the crowd will be cheering for him too. It’s hilarious. Here we are two weeks later and he’s the most over guy on the show. Well, at least his music is.”

Love it. He hates on it while still being professional. Y2J is GOAT, forget hogan, SCSA, or Rocky.

What's with all the random dancing gimmicks being so over? Tons of Funk are apparently superstars with the casuals... Khali's theme is over too even though he can't even move... Fandango's song became a big thing... the Emmalution is coming... Rob Terry's random dancing surprisingly got over... Tessmacher, well that was for a different reason...

I suppose people like dancing and catchy tunes.

Assmacher, type it correctly.
Fandango would be good no matter the gimmick, but his makes him so much more hated, it's not like people love his music or anything, they just joked on it and it went over well. Look at DB and how he sold himself when the WWE shit all over his face (not the same entirely i know).....Fandango is a different style heel than people are used to, and they are interested. Once you have the interest, there is no reason not to build. The issue for me is WWE hates on Ryder when he BUILT HIMSELF UP and let's Fandango win at WM while Ryder doesnt even get a match in his hometown area.

Lol'd at Jericho's explanation as to how the Fandango character was created.
