Something like this shows me the potential of some of these undercard guys. There is real personality there.

It was when the constraints were lifted and guys were given more freedom character wise that the attitude era made things so watchable.

I understand it's a massive company and they have to have some semblance of control...But let some of these guys get creative and just see what happens.

The majority of them are not doing anything anyway

Would be cool to do it documentary style and have them in character for like a Rise and Fall of Southpaw Regional Wrestling as a Network show.

This needs a network special so badly.

Also, KFC needs to bring Georgia Gold to the UK.

What is the "Johnny Curtis" stuff everyone is talking about in this thread... Don't remember seeing that in the videos... when was it?

Hate Byron Saxton................................... horrible

Johnny Curtis is the best

Johnny Curtis was "Chet", the drunk/depressed host.......

Oh damn I thought that was Cesaro

How come everyone is calling him "Johnny Curtis" instead of Fandango

Because the gimmick sucks donkey dick and everybody wants to remember him chloroforming Matt Striker.

Fucking hell that segment was bad.

Sometimes, when we bitch about how bad RAW can be, we forget about how bad the product was just a few years ago.

Just watched this video. Seemed like a pretty good gimmick

I don't know about everyone else but for me personally...

I think he could/should be a megastar. So saying "Fandango should be the next John Cena" makes it sound (to some people at least) like his current gimmick is WrestleMania main event caliber. So I say "Johnny Curtis" when singing his praises so I don't have to make that silly distinction.

That being said, I love him as Fandango, too. He's good at everything.

Super likable. Not remotely awkward or uncomfortable on camera or in front of a crowd. Would make the company look like a million bucks on talk shows and stuff via his personality.

And none of this is even getting into how amazing he was on the later season of NXT as "Creepy" Johnny Curtis.

Yeah, this. Don't listen to STD's lies. He was so good as Johnny Curtis that just calling him Fandango would be like referring to Randy Orton as "The Viper" or Stone Cold as "The Texas Rattlesnake".

Whether you like the "Fandango" persona or you don't, just watch anything of him in character, especially the backstage stuff where he's allowed more freedom and you can see that he absolutely owns it to ridiculous levels. Most entertaining guy on the roster.

copped some of that KFC boyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, didn't have to utilize my AK

Silvertown is from Joe Dirt as well.

This illustrates the canyon sized gap between what Vince and his team of "writers" think is funny and the talents awesome sense of humor

Christ Johnny Curtis is too great for words.

Jesus that whole thing was amazing. I lost it for "Impressive" Pelvis Wesley lol. The whole thing was great.including Lance Catamaran citing 6 weeks as an anchor for some random news channel lol.

I hope there's more. These are far too entertaining to cut it off. And got God sakes give him a buzzcut and bring back Johnny Curtis.

Effective marketing as today for lunch a my co worker and I went to KFC and he did all the wooos when ordering I just put my head in my hands half laughing (he is not a fan and had only just seen the web show)

"Utica" is near me and it probably the shittiest city in NY. (Binghamton is pretty bad too)

Ah. Makes it even better.

lol To be fair, that was an online show featuring a bunch of new guys who hadn't been featured in front of crowds that big before. The standard for that and RAW should be night and day.

Johnny Curtis was still miles ahead of the pack though. With the exception of Brodus Clay who actually showed a little personality too and went on to be pretty great for what he was.

Derrick was decent too.

WOOOOOO
CRISPY

WOOOOOO
TANGY

WOOOOOO
HONEY MUSTARD

If the real Ric Flair worked in Southpaw (and he never would, because they can't afford him)...

This dude is a fucking star.

£21.20 for the shirt. Might be the first wrestling shirt I've owned since I was 8. Which was a Nasty Boys shirt for some reason.

Felt like all the backstage segments were ribs at Zack Ryder and the ZTLIS!

Dammit the Johnny Curtis vids just remind me of how great NXT Redemption was. Love everything in this segment.

"Loved you on Family Matters."

Lets do it CK!

It's a winner cos it's a wrestling shirt but people won't catch on that we're loser wrestling fans, they'll just think we're hipster types (which might be worse).

I feel like you could wear the shirt and people might think you were a wrestler

Maxine/Catrina so hot.

Today was a good day.
