I've been thinking of ways the WWE could expand Fandango's character in recent weeks. For example, I'd love it if they revealed via one of the announcers that Fandango was present when Pat Patterson unified the North American Championship with the South American Championship and became the first Intercontinental Champion. Fandango was in Rio for that match because his parents were world famous dancers and performed at the after-show. The loser of the match, the former South American Champion -- defeated, drunk and disorderly at the show, having missed his ticket to stardom -- made a pass at Fandango's mother in front of his father and the young man himself. Fandango's father, always a proud and passionate man, took a swing at the former South American Champion. The enraged South American Champion was enraged at this, but was escorted from the premises. Fandango then realized that he has a fire in himself too, and always wanted to be Intercontinental Champion from that point.
You can use Fandango's parents being world class dancers to explain how he got all around the world as a young man, and began to learn about all different sorts of movement -- both dance and in physical competition. While they performed in Japan while Fandango was a teenager, maybe they can say he studied under a great jiu-jitsu master, or something like that.
A worked biography/autobiography by Fandango would be an incredible read.
