#1 "Chachalala" (by Joe Johnston) - Fandango
Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?
They called it "Fandango-ing."
In 2012, the man formerly known as Johnny Curtis (winner of the second season of NXT, back when NXT was that sort of thing), returned to the main roster as Fan-DAN-Go (or just, you know, Fandango), a ballroom dancer who was also a wrestler. You know, like back in the 1980s when all wrestlers in WWE had an "actual" job, like prison guard or garbage man.
it was reportedly a "pet project" of Vince McMahon and presented as a heel because McMahon figured everyone would hate him because he was... good at dancing? That seemed to be it.
On the contrary, fans actually ate the character up - especially his catchy theme song, "Chachalala", written by the aforementioned Joe Johnston (who, by the way, really should be in the WWE Hall of Fame). Footage of fans after events singing and dancing to the song was seen all over YouTube - like this footage:
Fans weren't just singing it, however. They were listening to it, too. I mean, not just at WWE shows but, like, on their iPods and phones and such. Especially in the UK, where the song reached #11(!) on that country's iTunes chart.
Fans simply couldn't get enough of this dancin' fool. Cue Frank Zappa.
Sadly, while WWE is usually good at capitalizing on moments from their stars that go mainstream (look at all the high school, college, and pro sports teams that jumped on Daniel Bryan's "Yes" chants, for example), this one didn't really go very far. While WWE certainly hyped up the cultural phenomenon following the week of WrestleMania 29, they still decided to keep Fandango himself a heel, rather than play up his newfound popularity.
It's been a rocky road for 'Dango since then, who recently debuted on the good NXT (the one everyone likes, not the game show which... doesn't exist anymore so I imagine that would have been difficult), reuniting with his Breezango/Fashion Police partner Tyler Breeze after recovering from an injury... and looking pretty badass, too, let's be honest.
But, no matter what happens in his career from here on in, he will at least be able to say that he had buses and trains and arenas full of people singing and dancing to a song written specifically for him. And that's got to be pretty amazing.
