Could say the same thing about Shawn "Meat" Stasiak though.

two out of three of the 3mb are main eventers now, so a push could happen I suppose.

#BookEmDango

There is literally no rhyme or reason behind who main events now, so it woud actually be upsetting if Fandango doesn't get a turn.

It couldnt be any worse than Jinder's title run really. Might as well see what happens.

Run has been going very well in target demos

(aka not everything is for everyone, it's a variety show guys)

I often forget Jinder is champ.

Who is Jinder?

Lol, I've only heard bad/status quo news, but I haven't been paying attention to that trash. Can you elaborate?

Yeah, I'm curious to hear this, too. Because from what I've seen he definitely hasn't been a major drawing point for the brand and even if you were to credit him with the ratings... the ratings are pretty much the same as they were before he won the title. Maybe down a little overall. And live event attendance is... Yeah... lol

I don't know how reliable this was, but I heard that Network subscriptions were down in India too. That sounds a bit like a smear piece, but it honestly wouldn't surprise me. It's almost like putting the belt on a talentless jobber who poorly speaks one of your minority languages is a little condescending and racist.

I'll echo the points about attendance and ratings. But maybe it has been good for India and/or Pakistani television, and the WWE plans to live off that while things go down in the US? I mean, it's not a ridiculous idea -- didn't Total Divas keep them above even one financial year?

While it goes against most things I believe about wrestling philosophically, I would be happy enough for Randy Orton to win the WWE Title back from Jinder Mahal, then for Fandango to win the Royal Rumble and beat Orton in the WrestleMania mid-card for the WWE Title. I think Fandango is such a sexy beast that when people see him in that mix, they will just accept it and it'll spread like wildfire or a rash. Move Bray Wyatt over to SmackDown and have him be jealous that Fandango beat Orton when he couldn't, and also a little bit because Fandango is definitely a multiple-ladies-at-once man. Tyler Breeze can be a sacrificial lamb in this angle. He's pretty enough for Bray Wyatt to take to the compound and Fandango to go and save.

You can bring back Luke Harper and Erick Rowan to be fall guys to Fandango. After Dango saves his little buddy and vanquishes Bray, Tyler can turn on Fandango and go after the belt himself, although I don't see him as a long-term contender. Turn Orton heel and have Breeze be his little minion. There's an easy Steel Cage Match at SummerSlam. Fandango keeps the belt until a Starrcade defense against Cena, where he retains.

Yeah, was just thinking about this: I'm entirely on board with Fandango as WWE Champion. It's not like he will draw any worse than anyone else on the brand.

I don't put it past WWE to mismanage any situation with shitty booking. But Fandango with even halfway decent booking on top would be good for business.

The Rock vs. Fandango just popped into my head, and it's become my dream WrestleMania feud.

Holy shit, if they do that, I want Jericho to back Fandango. "This guy beat me at WrestleMania and you think you have a shot?!". Fandango has got more genuine charisma than Kevin Owens (re: not mic skills) and wouldn't be overshadowed by Jericho. You can team Breeze up with Jericho as kind of a heel version of an inter-generational Thrillseekers, and be a heel team that supports Fandango. Try your hardest to re-hire Maxine to be Fandango's Lady Macbeth and you have yourself the greatest faction in modern sports entertainment history.

Triple H & Stephanie McMahon vs. Fandango & Maxine at WrestleMania. I can't think of a more exciting match for Triple H. Never mind that both men were trained by Killer Kowalski.

lol My original fantasy booking for a Fandango push years ago was around when there was talk of The Rock vs Triple H at WrestleMania. Without going through everything step-by-step, basically The Rock was fed up with Triple H fucking with Reigns and The Usos and he came back to put him in check. Triple H was using Big Show as "muscle" at the time and ends up allowing Rock to Wrestle him and Show at WrestleMania but Rock doesn't get to pick his partner. They choose Fandango because "lolFandango" and it led to Rock training Fandango in a series of vignettes where slowly over the weeks Rock goes from a hard ass who just hates every second of training this shithead to forming an unlikely friendship to the point where Fandango's teaching Rock some dance moves come WrestleMania. They end up winning the match at WrestleMania, Fandango gets the rub of all rubs, and a new star is born.

I hope he retires his finisher since it looks awfully bad for his back.

He's been using a Falcon Arrow as his main finish since The Fashion Police turned face, mainly to beat Viktor.

That's cool. I guess I can vaguely recall him using the maneuver.

I want to give you all my money right now.

Oh god no
