Former WWE Superstar Fandango was seemingly on the rise in 2013 after making his debut on SmackDown. He defeated Chris Jericho in a singles match at WrestleMania 29 and was rumored for an Intercontinental Championship run.
During his interview on Renee Dupree’s “Café de Rene” podcast, Fandango revealed that a concussion he suffered forced WWE to scrap title plans for him. The former WWE star would be released in June 2021, having never won a singles championship in the company.
“Yeah, I got a concussion. I was wrestling the Great Khali and I didn’t — I got knocked out and I didn’t tell the office. So I knew that I was gonna pay-per-view and they’re gonna put the strap on me, so I tried to fave it from the office and I got a sh– ton of heat for that.
“So yeah, I think I was wrestling like Zack Ryder. I took like a shoulder tackle and I was completely out of it, he kind of carried me through the match. I got to the back and I thought I just wrestled Kali because you know your brain’s like a computer, and you pour some water over it and it just wasn’t computing right. They were like, ‘No, dude, you just wrestled f–king Ryder.’ Then Hunter came in and I just stooged myself off without even knowing it.”
