He also has a cheeky little dance with Sky Sports News presenter Olivia, you can check out the video interview here.
Fandango discussed his theme song entering the UK iTunes chart and how he became an Everton Fan, after they initially refused to play his song.
“The song went to number 11 in the iTunes chart and a lot of clubs were playing my music at their games, so a lot of WWE fans Tweeted Everton and said ‘play Fandango’s music at your games’. “Everton refused and me being the shy, quiet type that I am, I sent a few friendly Tweets to them. We had a little bit of a back and forth but eventually they played it at a game and now I am a huge Everton fan.”
When asked about the CM Punk situation, he said he didn’t know too much about the situation and quickly diverted the attention to the upcoming Wrestlemania 30 event. ”WrestleMania is the biggest spectacle of the year and you are going to be entertained.” An event where Fandango made his in ring debut at last years Wrestlemania, he discussed how he felt.
“To debut at the biggest stage of the year was a big task,” ”You are very nervous leading up to the big show and about walking out in front of 85,000 people, but when you do you can just feel the audience and it was just electric.
Finally Fandango mentioned the stars who influenced him and how he got into ballroom dancing.
“I grew up as a huge WWE fan watching guys like Shawn Michaels, Ricky Steamboat, and “Ravishing” Rick Rude,” he said. “I loved the flamboyant, pretty boys and the guys who got the girls and money.“That inspired me and right after I got into wrestling I went to ballroom-dancing school. It was a big part of my training and got incorporated into my character.”
