Tyler Breeze and Fandango went from not getting any time on Smackdown Live to being one of the best parts on a weekly basis. They were recently guests on ‘Talk Is Jericho’ where they shared some interesting insight into being a WWE star that isn’t being used on a weekly basis and how you can change it.

Fandango says that he was very frustrated after being on television a lot when he first started with WWE. He shares some insight into the mindset of someone backstage not being used:
“I would get frustrated after working with you [Jericho] and kind of not doing things. Instead of just sitting in the back bitching about not being on TV, Breeze being proactive kind of… ‘dude, let’s shoot some promos.’ Dot com, they’ll do whatever you want. To not take advantage of that — and that was on me. Sometimes people just sit around. ‘Oh, I’m not on TV.’ You know what, if you’re not on TV do something about it. I hate that sh*t, you know?”
Breeze commented on how it is easy to feel entitled and wait for something to happen for you:
“It’s weird, it’s very easy to fall into where it’s like you’re entitled. It’s like ‘they can come up with something for me and if they don’t, f*ck them, man”
Fandango says it is easy to have the ‘boo-boo face’ when you are not being used instead of making something happen for yourself:
“I was guilty of doing that myself, having the boo-boo face. I wish I could go back and have the mindset that I have now back then. So instead of sitting around being bitter… dude, there’s these cameras and Breeze and I get together and we just start shooting promos because what do we got to lose?”
Them shooting these promos actually led to the creation of the ‘Fashion Police’ and the ‘Fashion Files’. A pretty great lesson for making something happen for yourself says Fandango:
“So that’s a great lesson for everybody and myself is if you don’t like where you’re at in life or wrestling just do something about it. I’m not pointing the finger and saying I didn’t do it myself, sit around, but it kind of irritates me now that people that aren’t on TV… and who has ever tweeted being bitter about not being booked and then looking at it and go ‘you know what, they’re upset they’re not on TV, we better put ’em on!”
