Fandango

[Mr. Nerfect]

If that also leads to Ricardo putting on his El Local costume to have a few matches with Curtis, bonus. Fandango can be all "I want to get you in this ring if you're man enough, Ricardo," and Ricky is all "See you later tonight," but then we see him later and he's feigning a tummy-ache in front of Del Rio and the General Manager of whatever show this is on. He says that he doesn't know if he can face Fandango later tonight. El Local steps up as Ricardo's replacement, though.

This, of course, leads to Fandango becoming obsessed with who is El Local and why he is protecting Ricardo. He accuses Del Rio, but Del Rio is proven to be a completely separate entity. Fandango challenges El Local to a PPV match and he wants El Local to put his mask on the line. Ricardo Rodriguez comes out, representing El Local, and has him on the phone. Fandango demands to talk to El Local. Ricardo hands the phone over and Fandango asks him "What? You want...to dance with *whatever his female dance partner is called*? Fine! I'll see you at *whatever PPV it is*! And you won't forget the name...he hung up on me!"

At the PPV, El Local again upsets Johnny Curtis, and after the match, the lights change to a goofy ballroom setting and El Local stands in the ring with his hand outstretched towards, let's call her "Esmeralda" at ringside. She acts all flustered and gets in the ring and has a bit of a tango with the surprisingly tango-iffic luchador, El Local. An enraged Fandango attacks from behind, however, and he pulls off the mask of El Local to reveal...Ricardo Rodriguez! Curtis is so shocked that Ricardo can battle back and toss him out of the ring and continue his dance with Esmeralda.

It is revealed that Ricardo Rodriguez only wanted to dance to impress Esmeralda, and that he finally gets his moment with her at the expense of the man that stood between them on PPV.

On a follow-up TV show, Curtis is furious and says that he spoke to El Local on the phone. Ricardo brings out a homeless guy and reveals that he paid him $20 to fake the call. Ricardo then gets the bum to tell Fandango that "You ain't so smart, Mr. Johnny Curtis." Being referred to as "Mr. Johnny Curtis" by a homeless man is the final straw between Curtis and complete heel insanity, and we see him shed the Fandango gimmick and become "JohnnyCurtis JohnnyCurtis," with Johnny Curtis being so obsessed with being called "Johnny Curtis" by everyone that he makes it his name. Both names.

Okay, I see that happening in the WWE Universe. Nonetheless, I believe this hoopla over properly pronouncing Fandango's name will result in Lillian Garcia announcing during his debut.
