This guy is getting a whole lot of love over here, but I don't get the appeal. But I can't stand him Imo, the gimmick is bonafide wrestlecrap. Sure Johnny Curtis may have some in ring talent, but this gimmick is so ridiculous I don't see how long it could actually last. So for those who love him, why? Please be serious in your answers if you could.

It seems like you've already formed your own opinions on Fandango. Trying to "sell you" on him would likely just end up being frustrating and pointless for all parties involved.

He's creepy and different than the norm, that just works for me.

I don't like these types of threads. It's not up to anyone to sell you, it's on the WWE to sell you.
But I am indifferent to him myself. I like the performer a lot, but hate the gimmick.

I want to know why. And I lurked at that thread rnrk posted a long time ago. Comical but bizarre |

Comical but bizarre I think it has to do with the fact that it's such a goofy gimmick in this era of WWE that it makes Curtis stand out among his other heel who are just the stereotypical jerk guys. |

Anytime someone seems like their gimmick could be serial killer, I'm a fan.

Not to be redundant or a dick, yes that thread was awesome, but I'm seriously intrigued with Fandango's fandom. |

I'm s***ting on him as we speak, I can't believe he is getting a mania match against Jericho me either, just like the other thread suggested, Cesaro would have been better. No disrespect to Curtis and who knows the match could be could but I just feel like Jericho deserves more. |

Well, these threads are unfair. If you were into the same things that people that like Fandango are into, you'd already like Fandango.
Fandango is the only one that can sell you on Fandango.

This guy must be incredible for him to be getting this type of spot. I love his leg drop, but thats as far as it goes.. Never has a dancing gimmick gotten over to world title status..
Dancing Gimmicks that have gotten over.. Disco Inferno. 3 Count. 2 Cool with Rikishi, Brodus Clay.. But has any of these guys been serious contenders for anything?

Okay this is something maybe I could help sell it. Fandango isn't just a dancer gimmick. He's a creepy, eccentric narcissist who's weirdness is filtered through this "ballroom dancer" persona. Disco (though I love him to death) didn't really have anything dark and sinister under his hypnotic moves. The other guys were annoying heels or lighthearted faces. Fandango is a dancer gimmick like Goldust was a film buff gimmick, which is to say barely. It's just the tip of the iceberg, and sort of a hook. |

Yeah, he's not just a dancer gimmick, I was pretty meh about it when I thought he was, then he cut his little promo on Naomi I think and this was so creepy, the moment he stops talking and smells his arm is just so weird, I like creepy stuff, I hope his gimmick goes even darker.

I like most gimmicks, at least for a little while.
Hardly anyone has a gimmick anymore.

As I've said before, the gimmick is just Creepy curtis learning to dance.
