Really, if he does get hot enough to be a contender, they can just phase out the ballroom dancer aspect and keep him an annoying yet unstable creep.
No Downsait themes, though. They can remix the Fandango music and maybe add some rock guitars, but that's it.

He's got charisma and wit as seen on Santinos youtube series thing that I forgot the name of.

I think the fact that Fandango can't dance can be part of his heat.
Have it so that it's never acknowledged that we've never seen him dance, then have some babyface bring it up that he's never danced. Fandango says we don't deserve it. The goading continues and it culminates in a PPV match where if Fandango loses, he has to dance. He loses, dances terribly, the babyface laughs at him, and he beats the shit out of the babyface with a chair.
Then you've got Fandango as a legitimate psycho heel threat. Hell, do the injury angle and have that babyface come back down the line and beat Fandango and then he can be written off TV for retooling or something.

WWE needs more off-the-wall, larger-than-life personalities on the roster anyway. If they didn't Rock wouldn't be headlining WM two years in a row. Fandango is about as well-suited to it as anyone else is, at least.

Vince can definitely relate to Dirty Curty. Both sleezeballs.

As long Fandango has that sexy dance partner, I hope he's around for a long time.

I'm not really sold on the Fandango character as it stands, but I'm a Johnny Curtis fan. To me, the question isn't "why is he being pushed now", it's "why didn't they push him sooner?"
To work in the long term, the character needs a lot more than dancing and an obsessive fixation over the pronunciation of his name, but if he evolves like Ziggler did, he'll be fine.

God help us all if WWE seriously tries to push Fandango. Even without the idiocy of the "I won't wrestle till you pronounce my name right" storyline, at the end of the day it's a guy doing a dancing gimmick that can't dance. It reminds me of Foley's book where he mentioned his time in Memphis where he carried a bull whip but never cracked it because he didn't know how and fans caught on (ditto the Dynamic Dudes with the skateboards and Van Hammer with the guitar). Seriously, Fandango as a main event heel? The guy is doing a gimmick that would put him at home with Disco Inferno and Alex Wright in 1998 era WCW. 15 years ago the guy wouldn't even be TV title material. Forget that he's a "dancer", that's the least important part of the gimmick, just a little hook to tie it all together. It's like Goldust being into movies, or Rock talking about butts so darn much.

well, he's a pretty good wrestler who has spent the last year three years on WWE TV trying to show he's deserved to be on WWE TV. So I'd say his dedication is a good chunk of it

Didn't Colt Cabana say on his podcast that when Fandango had his job interview with Vince that Vince emotionally opened up to him about his failures and regrets in his life. One of my favourite stories on the Art of Wrestling. I love Vince. Vince opened up to Johnny Curtis? Or the other way around? I will hug anyone who links me to that episode (I don't remember that story for some reason) I'm trying to remember what episode it was, but I think they were talking about Vince and some of the crazy things he does, and somehow it came up that Vince opened up to Johnny Curtis. I might have to go back and find it, but it was one of the more recent ones, in at least the past couple of months.

One of my favourite stories on the Art of Wrestling. I love Vince. Vince opened up to Johnny Curtis? Or the other way around? I will hug anyone who links me to that episode (I don't remember that story for some reason) Vince: "Can I tell you a secret, Johnny? My wife. She wants to run for Senate. I...I don't know what to say to her. I mean don't get me wrong. I love my wife. I love South Asian gymnasts too in their little tight one piece unitards too. They might be young, but you can tell by their supple curves that they're just so, so, so, so close to full blown womanhood. And once they achieve womanhood, I lose myself. I yearn for them, Johnny. I would trade everything I have for one weekend with a 19 year old Cambodian vaulter with daddy issues. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah...the wife. She wants to run for Senate. I don't know how to tell her how I feel. She's such an important part of my life and this business. But she's going to fail spectacularly at this. She doesn't have what it takes to be a Senator. There's so much risk. And if she loses, that's so much money down the toilet. What if she's so close that she tries again two years later? Johnny, I can't let her. I will cry in front of cameras. I can't allow people to see me vulnerable Johnny. I'm a leader out there. They look up to me. They respect me. If they see me balling like a baby being nipple teased by a breastfeeding mother, this company will fall. They can't see my weaknesses. They can't know that twice a week I tuck my junk between my legs and scream in front of a mirror 'IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED DAD??? WOULD EVERYTHING HAVE BEEN BETTER IF I WAS YOUR PRINCESS, DAD???' This is.....it's just....I don't know why she wants to be a Senator. And why my son wants to sell his stock and start his own business out in China. They're leaving me Johnny. They're abandoning me right before they lay me in the cold, cold ground. But you're not Johnny. You won't do that to me. You and me are gonna be friends forever. Yeah! Yeah that's how it's gonna be. Screw my wife and son. We're gonna be best pals! We'll get matching tattoos. We'll watch "Castle" together. We'll even go to Cambodia and watch some national gymnastic meets! It's gonna be great. I feel this is gonna be an amazing friendship. What do you think Johnny?" Johnny: "...all I asked was does your company have a per diem policy or not."

The dancing part of his gimmick doesn't matter much. He's really like Goldust. The dancing is exactly the same as Goldust and his film obsession. What it boils down to is that they're psychopaths obsessed with something. People are placing too much emphasis on his dancing rather than the kind of character he truly is. That's not the point of it.

He took of his pants, spread his buttcheeks and forced Vince McMahon to look into it. What Vince saw was the entire universe and the most beautiful sights he has ever seen while the butthole slowly said FAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHN-DAHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
