Have to watch SmackDown this week just for Johnny Curtis. I am seriously pumped for Jericho vs. Fandango at WrestleMania. Jericho wouldn't be working with anyone he didn't feel was worth getting over (although he sometimes seems almost too generous with who he puts over), so I'm sure Jericho is going to get a WrestleMania-worthy performance out of Curtis, who after years waiting for his shot will no doubt put his best foot forward.
Really think that a feud with Jericho could be used to evolve the Fandango and Chris Jericho characters. I mean, they probably like 2D babyface Chris Jericho and 2D flamboyant heel Johnny Curtis, but they have the opportunity to turn Fandango into a character that makes kids cry.
Fandango could not only mock Jericho for his failures on Dancing with the Stars and trying to crack into the mainstream away from the WWE, but he could also show clips of heel Chris Jericho talking about how the Highlight Reel is dead and never coming back and of him calling the fans "hypocrites" and such. Curtis can get right under Jericho's skin by ripping his very existence as "Y2J" in the WWE apart.
Definitely the sleeper feud going on in WWE right now, and it has the potential to be the absolute greatest.
