5 Superstars who need better in-ring names

#3 Fandango

Sometimes characters need to be given a new in-ring name in order to change their overall persona. It's not as if their previous names were bad or ill-advised, it's more the fact that the wrestler himself has outgrown its usefulness.This is certainly the case with Fandango.

Much to the credit of Curtis Hussey, the man has been able to excel despite being given one of the worst character gimmicks of WWE's modern era. Imagine winning the fourth season of NXT only to be told that you will be entering the main roster as a ballroom dancer.

With a little stroke of luck, the Fandango character has actually grown to be one of the most entertaining gimmicks of the current Smackdown Live roster. Along with his tag-team partner Tyler Breeze, the pair have been lighting up the blue brand with their hilarious Fashion File segments.

But surely all this is an indication that the man behind the outfits and silly voice has real talent. What if that talent was allowed to grow into a serious singles star who was able to pursue championship gold?

For this to happen, Fandango would have to symbolically die with a new, slightly tweaked persona coming through. The WWE has done similar things before with guys like Road Dogg and Dolph Ziggler who were also given less than serious gimmicks to start with.

If nothing else, Hussey has surely proven that he at least deserves a shot before the Fandango gimmick swallows any chance he has of being taken seriously.
