Fandango

He's sort of reminding me of Chris Jericho when he originally debuted in the WWE. Jericho debuted in a big way, was meant to be a heel but then just became so over that they had to turn him face. Fandango has had an interesting debut, called people by incorrect names (a Jericho-esque technique) and has been flamboyant and exciting like Jericho was. A clean victory the next time Fandango and Jericho wrestle each other would do further wonders for Fandango, but maybe they could do something where Jericho goes for the Lionsault like last time but Fandango gets the knees up. Jericho lands on his feet and goes for the Walls of Jericho and Fandango cradles Jericho like last time, only this time Y2J rolls through and into a pin of his own, using the ropes to get the three count. Fandango and his dancer are upset and Jericho goes up the ramp with a slightly heelish look on his face as the referee raises his hand. Cole voices surprise at Jericho cheating to beat Fandango as JBL talks about how the veteran outsmarted the rookie. Basically, you try and do a double-turn, with the bitter veteran becoming equally as obsessed with the rookie who upset him at WrestleMania as the rookie was with making a name for himself.

Like the idea, just not sure at this point in his career the fans would actually boo Jericho. I think Fandago totally works as a heel, similar to the way Ziggler has been working, with fan support. Only reason I mentioned the IC belt is because I don't think at this point Miz or Barrett an carry a program and it would make the IC belt relevant which it hasn't been in years.
