He seems talented enough but the gimmick he had on NXT seemed the type that would have had him jobbing. Then again, he could of been a Paul Heyman guy instead of Axel.

I loved the Johnny Curtis gimmick, but I can see why it might not have translated well on Raw where he's only given 2 minutes to show it. But it wish they could have at least given it a chance.

Was Johnny Curtis ever a real gimmick? I think Dirty Curty could ABSOLUTELY have been a midcard gimmick, I adored that gimmick. It was hilarious, and you could even have moved it to a kind of sexual predator type thing to get main event angles out of it. Leather jacket + windowless fan + Curtis flapping his tongue at Divas or audience members = license to print money.
As the 'chip on my shoulder' guy? What is even there to get over?
Or is there still a third Curtis gimmick that I'm not aware of?

He would have gone over like spilled milk.

Hell yes, Dirty Curty would have got over. Even without Maxine to play off of.

I think if WWE is serious at all about him he can transition from the dancer fandango into a Dirty Curty type character.
He can just cut a promo one day that the WWE universe doesn't appreciate REAL dancing and so he'll never dance again.

That "Cinnamon... Toast Crunch" line he said last week was straight-up Johnny Curtis.

Only if he could have worn assless chaps and ONLY assless chaps for his ring attire.
yes I know, chaps are assless anyway, but it rolls off the tongue with such elegance.

You mean milk pouring, chip-shouldering Johnny Curtis? Ha ha, no. |

I wanted to see a mix of Dirty Curty and visual pun Johnny Curtis... "I have something HUGE in store for the WWE Universe."  |

Creepy Curtis was a great gimmick. Would have got over big time.

Given that we're talking about a ballroom dancer that wrestles I'd say they could even just be honest. Say he was given a dumb gimmick to work with and he's not going to do it anymore. |

I think you can combine the two. The dancing stuff can only go so far, they should add creepier elements to him like we find out the reason Summer Rae was dumped was because she wouldn't let him sniff her shoes while he's wearing a diaper. There's a community of people on the internet who do that. There's literally a handful of them.

The gimmick has more mileage than whatever he is doing now. It really hurt my heart to see him go from being a weirdo douche to some disco dancing fool. Sucks to know that we may never see him play a role he was born to play..  |

If the bitter and twisted Snitsky can sniff Maria's feet and punt the baby, why shouldn't we creep thru the hood with Johnny?

When Fandango debuted he and his vignettes had shades of Dirty Curry to them. Then he lost all personality when Fadangoing became a thing sadly.

The character or just name? Because if just the name, can we really buy a dancer by the name of Johnny Curtis? "It's JOHHHHH-NIIII! [short pause] Curtissss!" not sure we can buy all that. And Fandango-ing would be named Johnny Curtis-ing which sounds even sillier.

Fans tend to use the names "Fandango" and "Johnny Curtis" interchangeably anyway. Now, "Fandango-ing" on the other hand is a little tricky. I'm not even sure if they would've even given it a name |
