    Fandango Recalls Working With John Cena On Southpaw Regional Wrestling

    The Southpaw Regional Wrestling was one of the most absurd yet entertaining pieces of programming WWE ever produced. It allowed the featured wrestlers to leave their usual personas behind and have fun with some of the most outrageous characters ever created in wrestling. Two such stars who had a lot of fun with the show were John Cena and Fandango. They did the commentary for the series.

    The former WWE star who goes by the name Dirty Dango recently appeared on Cafe De Rene. He was asked to tell an interesting story about the web series. Replying to it, the former WWE star recalled the first time he worked with John Cena on the show:

    “So they asked Cena to be the commentator for the show, which was set in the 80s. I was kind of the color guy adjacent to John at the desk.” recalled Fandango, “John had probably 10 pages, probably six episodes of verbiage. He looked at it for about 20 minutes, memorized the whole thing. I’m pretty shocked.

    I’m like, ‘I’ll just go on the fly and go off you’ Because he had to remember all the verbiage and he did it all in one take. I’m like, ‘Holy shit – this guy.’ That was the first time I’m like ‘This is acting’ because this is what he does. His brain is wired for that. I was like, ‘Holy fuck. this guy’s pretty good,’”

  • Southpaw Regional Wrestling Returning For Third Season

    Southpaw Regional Wrestling Returning For Third Season

    Southpaw Regional Wrestling, the much beloved fictional wrestling web series from WWE is going to make its return with a third season. WWE announced on February 29, 2020, that the show is going to return and is set to take place in the summer of 1994.

    WWE has released teasers for the upcoming season. In one of the teasers, we see Lance Catamaran (played by John Cena) calling Chett Chetterfield (Fandango), who was seemingly out cold after a long night drinking. He tells Chett that production has been waiting three weeks for him to show up and that it’s time to get the band back together. Chett stumbles his way through out of the bed as we see “Southpaw Regional Wrestling” on the screen, followed with “Coming Summer ’94”.

    It’s interesting to note that the first season of the show is set in 1987 and the second season goes a year back to 1986. The upcoming third season takes a leap straight to 1994, and one could expect a lot of changes in Southpaw Regional Wrestling after eight years.

    The sketch comedy series about the fictional 1980’s professional wrestling premiered in 2017 and was an instant hit. The show features characters such as Lance Catamaran, Chett Chetterfield, Tex Ferguson, Chad 2 Badd, Clint Bobski, Big Bartholomew and more. New characters were added last season so we can expect to see some more additions to the cast in third season too.

    A few weeks ago, WWE added a Southpaw DLC to WWE 2K20, which included new characters not seen in the past two seasons of the show. These characters are Misfit Molly (Becky Lynch), Goergia Washington (Charlotte Flair), Bay Lee Billionaire (Bayley) and Glam Rocker (Johnny Gargano).

    Southpaw Regional Wrestling Coming To WWE Network Next Week

    The first season of Southpaw Regional Wrestling is arriving on the WWE Network this coming Monday, according to a scoop by WWENetworkNews.com.

    Southpaw is the smash hit comedy series starring WWE’s top superstars about a fiction 1980’s regional wrestling promotion. The show premiered on WWE’s Youtube channel back in March and was an instant classic. Another long-lost tape of footage was uncovered, with season 2 dropping last month and culminating with the epic Showdown at the Swamp.

    Earlier this week, WWE sent out a poll gauging fan interest in new WWE Network content, including original comedy series like Southpaw Regional Wrestling and a WWE version of ‘The Office.’

    In light of that poll and WWE finally adding Southpaw to the Network, it seems like there’s a good chance we haven’t seen the last of Lance Catamaran and the gang.
