All about building him, wwe obviously see him as a prospect

He ain't no prospect lol, his inclusion at mania just shows how meaningless mania has become, back in the day a wrestler would need to work hard and show what he can do in the ring before he gets a spot at the biggest show nowadays to fill up the card they include unproven jobbers and that also includes big Langston. Even Jericho was pissed that he had to work with him. It's just too easy nowadays.

You mean back in the day when the like of Mr. T and NFL players were in Wrestlemania matches? Fandango has been has been with WWE for many years as Johnny Curtis and won a season of NXT. His push didn't go anywhere but his in ring ability isn't unproven to the people who have put him in a WM match.

That's interesting, do you have a source for that? Langston is also someone who has proven himself to creative on NXT, he is even the current NXT Champion. That may not sound like much but is shows management have faith in him.

Never knew who johnny Curtis was but in terms of Jericho being pissed it was mentioned on allwrestling.com a couple of days ago, you may need to check out previous posts but that's where i read it from. Can't blame Jericho he comes back for a run till mania and he doesn't get a quality opponent.

I stand by what I say bout earning your spot, back in the day you wouldn't envisage funaki vs rock or Val Venus vs stone cold in the main event now would you? Fandango may be a hit who knows but he should have been on the next ppv not mania

It just says he was unhappy at first as he wanted to face Ryback, but now he's excited about his current feud.

Fandango isn't in the main event; WWE are counting on the title matches, Brock/HHH and Taker/Punk to bring in the PPV buys, why not take a risk in the midcard?

As far as I know Cody Rhodes ain't booked on the card so why not have him face Jericho? Would have been better, like I said fandango may be good but he should be built after mania which could culminate in something decent for him at summerlam, he will go into mania with a little of the crowd behind him, if he was brought in around January then maybe my perception and opinion of him would have been different as wwe would have had 3 months to build him up and make his character mean something

I am for bringing in new talent and helping them develop as Ziggler for example was a success and of course you cant always rely on the old guard but what I don't support is just throwing these guys into big ppvs, I wanna see them do something that will make me think "this guy deserves his spot", I know everyone has their own view but that's how I would like to see it work

Rhodes is part of an 8 person mixed-tag match

Taking over from Brucue on strictly is his only prospect.

Also he's back in Rhodes Scholars with Sandow so it wouldn't make much sense for him to start a singles feud.

All I'll say with regard to "unproven" wrestlers being put in PPV matches is the last time WWE did it, it was at TLC with The Shield and that was one of the best matches of last year.

I was expecting Ziggler v Jericho for WM (when is Ziggler going to be readied to cash in that briefcase?), so the directions they've both been put in come as welcome surprises amidst an otherwise fairly sterile card.
