It doesn't suck; it's pretty hilarious. While I do agree that it has a shelf life, the cheesy-ness of it is just glorious. The elaborate entrance, the ridiculousness of his name, and just the way Curtis portrays the character (including his over-top-posing) is pretty grand. He rated Jericho's match move-by-move for god sakes! How can anyone not like this?!? Funny you mention shelf life. This gimmick would've sucked 10 years ago... when Dancing with the Stars was at least relevant. Now it's dumb & late. Too bad for this Curtis guy, cause by this time next year he'll be jobbing to Khali or slummin' it in TNA.

I want a sig bet! This time next year I believe that Fandango will be at least at IC/US level. The gimmick is not necessarily what's great about him but rather Curtis' performance of it. Believe me he's getting over.

I have to agree with Vyp as well. Another flash-in-the-pan gimmick that tickles Vince's fancy for 5 minutes. He better enjoy it while it lasts. Does anybody even remember the Spirit Squad? Those guys were doing great weren't they?
I'd much rather be seeing Cesaro vs. Jericho for the US Title. Or better yet, Cesaro vs. Jericho vs. Kingston for the belt as well.

AA! Rock Bottom! AA! Rock Bottom! AA! Rock Bottom! You forgot a few dozen countered AA's & Rock Bottoms. Thrilling stuff. Had the crowd on the edge of their seats... slumped over in boredom.

Yeah I don't really believe the Rock story at all, doesn't strike me as the type of person that would do something like that. That story reminds me of the rumor that came out last year of Brock Lesnar freaking out because Cena didn't sell the ending of their Extreme Rules match.
Mania thoughts: A good show I would say. Taker/Punk completely blew my expectations out of the water and is probably going to be my match of the year. Just some great stuff from both of them. The Hell No/ZigglerLangston tag was a fun match, loved the callback to Bryan's 18 second match last year. FANDANGO~!...was alright. He wasn't bad but he looked a bit nervous out there, hopefully he gets some confidence and runs with it. Cena/Rock was alright, better than their match last year I think. I really liked the spot where Cena teased the Elbow only to have it be a trap to lure Rock. The finisher thing at the end got ridiculous though. Can't really remember anything else that's memorable on the show, although from what I heard the Hall of Fame was tremendous.

The Raw after Mania is the new WrestleMania. Best crowd since last years.

The Raw after Mania is the new WrestleMania. Best crowd since last years. ^THIS^ What a fuckin' crowd! Went absolutely ape-shit for Ziggler! Giving D-Bry mad love. Shit all over Cena. Chanting Fandango's theme song for the rest of the show (lol @ Maf & Zee... Fandango's theme music > Fandango). Got Ryberg insta-over. And the way they derailed Shitmus/Boreton was a thing of beauty! Just a shame Punk wasn't there to bask in the glory.
