Could we be seeing the beginning of the Internet's newest dance craze? WWE  wrestler Fandango has only been on TV for a couple months and he already is one of the company's most popular wrestlers. However, Fandango may be catapulting himself into mainstream fame with his character after beating Chris Jericho at "WrestleMania 29" in MetLife Stadium. Now, "Fandangoing" to Jim Johnston's "ChaChaLaLa" is catching on everywhere, including the Houston Texans cheerleaders locker room, WWE's "Monday Night Raw" and "Friday Night Smackdown," and other sporting events. Could we be witnessing the next Harlem Shake?

Often times, gimmicks such as the Fandango character don't succeed in WWE, but word is Vince McMahon has made this his pet project. This could be why Fandango got a WrestleMania match this year. However, this doesn't explain the crowd's reaction on "Raw" the Monday night following "WrestleMania 29" at New Jersey's Izod Center. This is where the WWE crowd took it upon themselves to hum along to Fandango's theme song and possibly start a new viral craze. Watch below.

Fandango's dance found its way to a train on New Jersey transit following the April 8 "Raw" show. The fact that a train ful of people all participated is pretty impressive.

On the next WWE show, "Friday Night Smackdown," which actually tapes on Tuesday nights, the Boston crowd got in on the Fandango craze.

This is impressive, but really it's still within the WWE circuit. However, when the Houston Texans cheerleaders took part in "Fandangoing," the dance leapt outside the wrestling world. Could this lead to other sports teams taping their own "Fandangoing" videos?

Fandango's theme music was written by WWE composer Jim Johnston and is called "ChaChaLaLa." The song has actually gotten as high as number 11 on Britain's iTunes music charts. This is impressive because there really are no lyrics to the song, but still has found itself on iTunes charts. "Fandangoing" also got a mention on VH1's show "Best Week Ever." Will Fandango be having the best week ever or could it expand into the best summer ever?

Do you think "Fandangoing" will be the next Harlem Shake with videos popping up all over YouTube from various different businesses, TV show casts, and sports teams?
