Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted March 26, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 26, 2013 Enjoyed the closing segment, felt that it did a great job of making this rematch feel like the most important match in the world to both Rock and Cena. Especially Cena. I loved the desperation in his final answer, you really get the impression he will do whatever it takes not to lose this time. Nice touch to have the HoF panel asking questions, that's something I don't think they have ever done before and it really made it feel like a big deal. Â Bit underwhelmed by the rest of the show, feels a little bit like they are just cruising into WrestleMania now, filling TV time rather than really adding spice to the feuds. Delighted to see Mark Henry out there after rumours of a leg injury over the weekend. It's as simple an angle as you could ever wish to book, but the whole immovable object/unstoppable force thing with him and Ryback really works for me. Looking forward to the weightlifting contest on SmackDown this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshC Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Twitter HATES Fandango - which says to me that he's doing a fine job! Â I like his schtick - he talks well, the gimmick is good, the entrance is terrific, he's in good shape, he's tall and that legdrop off the top was good. The last two weeks I've watched his segment and then gone to bed. Why not try something different with a new character? Â JBL loves him anyway, so he's got legs.

AVM Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I find Fandango pretty amusing but WWE will need to add a few more dimensions to his character if they want him involved in the long term. Maybe they just see him as a short term filler guy and he'll disappear rather deliberately in the next couple of months. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshC Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I hope not, they do that with all the interesting undercard characters. Get rid of the deadwood I say. Or repackage them, or something. Too many guys have been doing the same schtick for forever. Fandango is more interesting than all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Is there hate for Fandango online? I've not been reading the web much recently but Fandago's one of the only things I'm enjoying in WWE at the moment. You just know there is. Every other forum is full of divots like summerslam1990. Fandango isn't a wrestler, he's an entertainment etc. I haven't looked on wrestlingforum.com for any Fandango stuff yet, but I will when I can be arsed. It'll be full of stuff along the lines of: Â Its official, a worrld class talent like Chris Jericho will be wasted at Wrestlemania. He will be facing Fandango in a match. Parody or real?

AshC Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I cracked up when they were all chanting "You Can't Wrestle!" and then he hit a guillotine legdrop off the top. It's as if gimmickery and movez~ are exclusive to one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rob Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 The only thin I haven't liked about Fandango so far is that he was in the same segment as Jack Swagger. Right now, those two are poles apart, and Swagger doesn't need to be winning with Fandango's help at the moment. I love the character though, and hope the match at Mania will be more than a 15 second squash for Jericho or similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyUK Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thought it was a pretty good show personally. Slowly but surely, I'm getting excited for Mania. Â The buildup hasn't been great, Rock/Cena II has definitely suffered a bit with Rock not being there but whenever the two have been in a segment this time, they've knocked it out of the park. I was a bit underwhelmed with this match when it was announced but I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes down now and considering they've only interacted about twice, that is some achievement. Â Also a special mention to the Jericho/Fandango stuff, which I think they've done really well with. The gimmick looked as goofy as hell to begin with but he's making it work. What a great rub for him also, to get his debut match at Wrestlemania and against a star like Jericho to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â See, why make it personal? I don't like Fandango. That's my opinion. You insist on categorising people. I like to think for myself. I gave my opinion, and also suggested that it was right that he went over Jericho at Mania. (I'll be en route to New York this time next week btw). I don't use any other forum, I peruse this one regularly, and offer my little input every now and then. I'm no 'divot'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 26, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 26, 2013 (I'll be en route to New York this time next week btw). Â You're going to Wrestlemaina, we know. Well done. Why do you keep mentioning it? No-one else does. Â Â Also a special mention to the Jericho/Fandango stuff, which I think they've done really well with.

thicko Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Lol, keep mentioning it? I only post on here three or four times a week! Â For what it's worth, I preferred that Johnny Curtis gimmick too! Although it wouldn't have got him a WrestleMania match with Chris Jericho, I'll grant you that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
