During a recent appearance on Chris Van Vliet’s Insight podcast, former WWE Superstar Dirty Dango (Fandango) commented on meeting The Rock during his time in WWE, how he kept giving him the wrong name, and more. He said,
“He came up to me at TV and goes, ‘Hey, what’s your name?’ ‘Curt, sir, how are you doing?’ ‘No, your name.’ ‘Curt, how are you doing?’ Dumbass, the f*cking gimmick. ‘Oh, Fandango.’ I f*cked the whole thing up. It was cool to hear him say that. It’s tough because when you’re in the land of midcard with all your other buddies and you start to get a little attention, no one really has heat with you, not saying I had heat, but when you’re not doing shit on TV, no one ever cares, but when you’re getting shoutouts from The Rock and WrestleMania matches, that’s when people are starting to whisper and people are getting weird backstage. it was cool to hear him say that and I’m a huge fan of Dwayne.”
