Dirty Dango and Tyler Breeze became popular for their Fashion Police segments in WWE, and Dango revealed the origin of that gimmick on a recent edition of the “Wrestling With Johners” podcast.
Breezango were released from their WWE contracts on June 25, 2021.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how the Fashion Police began: “I got injured, I hurt my knee, and Breeze and I were like … I remember him calling me or texting me like ‘Dude, if we’re going to get fired, at least let’s say we did absolutely everything we could. We can hang our hats knowing that they can’t say ‘Well, you didn’t pitch us any ideas.” So we just started cutting promos backstage with the dot.com boys …The whole Fashion Files thing just started from us doing backstage promos, because we weren’t booked.”
On the gimmick making it to TV: “And then it started getting a little social media traction, and it got into the production meeting that ‘These guys are doing these freaking promos.’ Eventually, it got on to the show. I think we got almost a year run doing the Fashion Files. [So] if you’re not on the show, I guess … a good tip is ‘Instead of complaining on social media, [make the most of it].’ Breeze is very proactive in that aspect. It’s easy to get frustrated and just stew backstage, but I think we kind of knew we were on our way out. And we’re like ‘Well, let’s just have fun.’”

The Fashion Police, consisting of wrestlers Dirty Dango and Tyler Breeze, gained popularity for their entertaining segments in WWE. Recently, Dango revealed the origin of their gimmick on the “Wrestling With Johners” podcast.
The journey of the Fashion Police began when Dango suffered a knee injury. Concerned about their job security, Breeze contacted Dango and suggested that they pitch as many ideas as possible to avoid being fired. They started cutting promos backstage with the dot.com boys, even though they weren’t booked for any matches. This led to the creation of the Fashion Files, which initially started as backstage promos.
Their efforts didn’t go unnoticed. The promos began gaining traction on social media and eventually caught the attention of the production team. The Fashion Files made its way onto the show, and Breezango enjoyed a nearly year-long run with the gimmick. Instead of complaining on social media about their lack of opportunities, they decided to make the most of it and have fun with their characters.
Dango emphasizes the importance of being proactive and making the most of any situation. Rather than getting frustrated and stewing backstage, he suggests finding ways to have fun and showcase your talent. Despite knowing that their time with WWE was coming to an end, they chose to enjoy their remaining time and leave a lasting impression.
The Fashion Police gimmick allowed Dango and Breeze to showcase their comedic talents and entertain fans. The segments became a hit among wrestling enthusiasts, demonstrating that sometimes taking risks and embracing creativity can lead to unexpected success.
While Breezango has since been released from their WWE contracts, their time as the Fashion Police will be remembered as a unique and entertaining chapter in their careers. They proved that even when faced with limited opportunities, it’s possible to create something memorable and leave a lasting impact on the wrestling industry.
