Chris Jericho discussed
Fandango‘s character during an interview with
Hooked on Wrestling:
“I think probably when I did Dancing with the Stars Vince probably
watched it and thought all the dancers looked gay and thought they’d
make a great heel. This is his his new pet project. He loves it. He’s
rolled with it from the start and now it’s getting over to a degree- I
don’t know if he’s more over or the song is over, but at least there’s a
reaction.
“To be honest I did a lot of that to
make it happen. It’s why Vince put me with him for Wrestlemania. I
wasn’t really super excited about it at the start as you can probably
imagine but but then after a bit I realized what the task was and that
it was a challenge!
“I told Vince probably about a week before Wrestlemania, he’s going
to be a babyface soon. ‘Why?’ he says. Because it’s such a ridiculous
character and he plays it so well so far that most of the crowd will be
cheering for him too. It’s hilarious. Here we are two weeks later and
he’s the most over guy on the show. Well, at least his music is.”
