Bo Dallas
 
Ever since Bo Dallas won the NXT Tournament to become an entrant in the Royal Rumble match, posters here in the Wrestling Forum have become more vocal in their dislike, and in some cases, hatred, for Bo Dallas.

But when people dislike something, there's always others who like it and I have read a small amount of positive things from people here about Bo Dallas, but the problem is, they don't really explain why they think these nice things about him, so there is a part of me that thinks they might just be joking. The people who don't like Bo Dallas have explained why, even if some reasons have been poor reasons, for example "He has freaky eyes". It's still a reason, I guess.

The dislike/hatred for Bo Dallas isn't just flying around here at TPWW. I've been checking out other wrestling forums and it seems like they all dislike/hate him too. They also give reasons, with the most insane one being that he looks like a rapist.

Still, not a lot of love is going around for the guy, which brings me to what this thread is actually about.

What are your honest thoughts on Bo Dallas?

Do you love the guy? Do you think he's the future of the company? Or do you despise him and think he should just be released or sent back to NXT forever? Or are you still not familiar with him and need more time to form an opinion on him?

As for me, I'm not 100% familiar with him yet, though from what I've seen, he isn't really anything special which leaves me wondering why he's so damn loved by the guys in the back such as Dusty Rhodes and so on who are pushing him.

He does remind me of Rocky Maivia though. Just that he's not got anything that "stands out", he's a third generation superstar, all he really does is smile and the fans seem to really dislike him, even though he acts super nice and friendly.

I knew he would get his "Maven Moment" at the Royal Rumble, but I didn't know it would be at the expense of Wade Barrett. With what happened on Sunday and Monday, I get the feeling we'll see Dallas/Barrett at Elimination Chamber for the Intercontinental Championship, which I think Bo Dallas has a strong chance of winning, considering how loved the guy is.

Though if he doesn't win, then it could always lead up to him winning the title at WrestleMania instead. :-\

Ruien 01-30-2013 03:32 PM

Seen him for a total of two minutes. Will let you know in a couple more weeks.

Cool King 01-30-2013 03:34 PM

Damn, forgot to make the poll public. :-\

Cool King 01-30-2013 03:37 PM

A mod can't make the poll public for me, can they?

whiteyford 01-30-2013 03:37 PM

He's still really green, he isn't the abomination that everyone makes him out to be though.

screech 01-30-2013 03:43 PM

Only saw him at the Rumble and read about his match on RAW so I won't judge fully yet.

DrCrawford 01-30-2013 04:07 PM

i'd rather watch orton, and thats saying a lot. bo dallas looks creepy as fuck

Emperor Smeat 01-30-2013 04:11 PM

Meh-level right now and same for when he was on NXT.

He's not horrible but at the same time I think it was too early to call him up. If the WWE is really serious about making their next rising star now, there were better candidates than him on NXT. Even post-Shield Rollins or Ambrose would have been better choices.

Haze 01-30-2013 05:34 PM

Been watching him since I started following FCW last year...Not sure why he is getting a push.

drave 01-30-2013 05:39 PM

Haven't seen enough from him, but he looks horrible, worse than a vanilla midget. He's like a mutated vanilla midget.

How long till he is made to cut his hair, that is the real question here. it'll happen, it always happens xD

Ultra Mantis 01-30-2013 05:44 PM

He is a total bland babyface character with poor mic skills, average wrestling skills, a fucking horrible spear finish and the appearance of a more effeminate version of that long haired guy from the Black Eyes Peas who gets to sing a line every other song.

XL 01-30-2013 05:49 PM

He'll catch a lot of flak for being the guy the company have chosen to get behind. People don't like being force-fed stuff and this'll be no different - at least amongst the IWC. It's likely that the marks will buy into him once he upsets Barrett for the title - which again will draw the ire of the IWC as "he'll be given too much , too soon".

Really, I think there are better options in NXT and that's what will have a lot of people against him.

Anybody Thrilla 01-30-2013 06:05 PM

I haven't seen enough of him, but nothing has impressed me yet. I also don't like him going over at the expense of Wade Barrett (who just beat Randy Orton clean on Raw like two weeks ago). He looks weird, but that can be worked around.

Also, what's up with the glove? Is he the son of a Blackjack or something?

another case of being pushed too young, too soon.....

Arrogance 01-30-2013 06:46 PM

He's so green right now you just can't say. Cynical wrestling fan inside says meh, but it's just too early.

XCaliber 01-30-2013 07:07 PM

He really deserves to be pushed...














OFF A CLIFF! :shifty:

Yes! THIS!
Why he debuted at the Rumble and his brother is absolutely beyond me.

dronepool 01-30-2013 09:34 PM

My honest thoughts are I don't really care about him because I don't know anything about him nor do I care to look into it. However I'll see what I think of him once we see him more.

Dark One 01-30-2013 10:35 PM

I feel like Bo Dallas is the living, breathing physical incarnation of what Gertner sees when he thinks of CM Punk or another "vanilla midget"

Fignuts 01-30-2013 10:43 PM

He's got a really dumb looking face.

Evil Vito 01-30-2013 11:11 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Fuck Bo Dallas.</font>

SlickyTrickyDamon 01-30-2013 11:13 PM

Even Gertner doesn't like him.

Rollermacka 01-30-2013 11:27 PM

He's been around for awhile and I really liked him as a tag team with his brother. Husky has really found a place with this "Bray Wyatt", not as good as Waylon Mercy but good non the less. Bo just seems like a "tag team guy" to me personally, nothing really stands out about him and says Main Eventer in my opinion.

Fox 01-31-2013 12:32 AM

It makes sense that he's getting this push - he's a third generation superstar. His uncles are Barry and Kendall Windham, one of which was a producer for WWE as recently as 2008, and his grandfather is the famous Blackjack Mulligan. More significantly, his father is Mike Rotunda, who currently works for the WWE as a road agent/producer. That's more than enough family ties to ensure a solid start in the WWE.

That being said, I'm not huge on him at the moment, simply because of his look. It's not just his goofy face (which is very goofy, don't get me wrong...), but it's his whole look. He just screams "I'm the guy out of developmental" and there's something very "uncool" about his greasy, long-haired, big smiling, not-so-tight physique having self that's just kind of off-putting. He's only 22 and has plenty of room to grow into the business. Or maybe he'll just be another failure like Ted DiBiase Jr. Who knows.

His new finisher is even worse than his running hug. Fuck I hate Bo Dallas. If he beats Barrett for the belt you may see my girlfriend putting up a youtube video showing my reaction.

Curd 01-31-2013 04:38 AM

I actually enjoy Bo Dallas because he has that scrappy underdog feel to him due to the IWC pooping on him and whatnot. He could pull a Rocky Maivia and turn into a big star.

No, no he won't. Not in a million fucking years. There's not one redeeming quality about him

I heard he kills kittens.

The kittens should be booked to go over Bo Dallas. That's how much he sucks.

Tommy Gunn 01-31-2013 06:47 AM

He wrestles and behaves like a complete jobber. I haven't seen him cut a promo yet, but even he looks surprised to be on WWE television, he doesn't radiate confidence, which in turn doesn't radiate personality.

whiteyford 01-31-2013 07:07 AM

He's a future hall of famer and the only guy deserving of ending Undertakers streak.

whiteyford 01-31-2013 07:08 AM

And the only member of the Black Eyed Peas with any real talent.

Skippord 01-31-2013 07:36 AM

I think part of the reason I hate him is because he reminds me of Bray Wyatt's existence and it makes me want to see Bray Wyatt.

I do get a bit of a "jobber vibe" from him even though I know he's being pushed for great things.

At this moment in time, I personally don't see what's supposed to be so great about him other than his age. He's 22 (Damn, I'm old. :() and that's about it. So far, I've not seen anything else that's so great about him and it doesn't help that whenever he's on screen, we get someone, be it Lawler, Cole or a Superstar, saying all these nice things about him but all they can really say is that he's a "nice guy". They just say it in different ways. :-\

Like Ultra Mantis said, he's just a bland babyface.

Dark One 01-31-2013 10:48 AM

Waiting for the 'I like him' vote to come in here and explain how they accidentally clicked that option.

Corporate CockSnogger 01-31-2013 11:03 AM

Only seen him in the rumble and on Raw but he seems really bad. He's probably the ugliest guy on the roster and his spear is the the worst spear I've seen.

DAMN iNATOR 01-31-2013 11:59 AM

From what I’ve seen of him, there doesn’t appear to be much potential with the guy. But, then again, remember how ridiculous and bland everyone thought Cena looked in his first televised match, and nobody thought he’d make it big?

Just sayin’.

Bad News Gertner 01-31-2013 12:12 PM

I'm pretty sure people were very impressed with Cena in his first match with Kurt.

whiteyford 01-31-2013 12:24 PM

Bo Dallas will return us to the wrestling golden age, like the end of the Transformers episodes with the Targetmasters and the like, but sans a great 80s power ballad.

Corporate CockSnogger 01-31-2013 12:54 PM

Cena had a good look though, Bo Dallas looks like an orc.

XL 01-31-2013 01:00 PM

I loved Cena when he debuted. Then again, I'm always pretty optimistic when it comes to new guys - probably something to do with them not being tarnished by indifferent booking.

Totally different story with Bo Dallas, though.

CSL 01-31-2013 01:07 PM

I have nothing against him but I also didn't really pay any attention to him on NXT, seems alright, bit generic. They obviously like something about him, need to see a bit more

TBF, although Cena looked very “vanilla” for a bit, even I have to admit he looked 1000x better than Dallas when you compare their debut looks. However, I didn’t really start thinking Cena looked great until he started with the street thug clothes and his chain necklace and the throwback sports jerseys...now those were the days!

Skippord 01-31-2013 01:45 PM

what is the deal with Bo Dallas' hair?

DAMN iNATOR 01-31-2013 02:14 PM

I know, right?

XL 01-31-2013 02:17 PM

It's different. Different is good. Right?

daimoniac 01-31-2013 02:31 PM

so here's how it goes. build the Bo Dallas up to be the underdog clean cut nice guy with a bit of intensity type for a while.

slowly but surely the camera start catching him acknowledging a large fellow in a hawaiian shirt in the front row more and more during his matches.

Bo starts losing matches after being distracted by the guy in the front row, to more jobberish people.

after a couple of cost victories, Bo confronts hawaiian shirt guy who this time happens to be wearing a straw hat. while they are nose to nose either side of the guard rail, a massive foot kicks Bo's head off from the side, and a guy in a green jump suit brings a rocking chair into the ring.

Bray Wyatt then jumps the guard rail and hits his neckbreaker thing on Bo, before getting into the ring and sitting down on the rocking chair.

Eric and Luke drag the limp Bo Dallas's carcass into the ring and hold him up in front of the chair while Bray cuts an epic promo on how it's now HIM that's the black sheep of the family, and holding on to his little keepsake is holding him back etc.

Luke (or Eric - whichever one has the arm with the glove on) bar's his arm and bray rips the glove off. Bray pockets the glove and tells Bo he'll get it back when he's ready to do the family it represents proud.

Luke and Eric throw Bo to the canvas, and the three of them leave.

thus the feud begins and we actually get a half decent back story for the kid as opposed to a "he split his kidney and came back" sympathy run

Ultra Mantis 01-31-2013 03:42 PM

After reading all the John Cena comparisons here, I would be in favour of Carlito hiring a guy to stab Bo Dallas in a nightclub.

whiteyford 01-31-2013 03:48 PM

No need to bring Jesus into this.

Shadrick 01-31-2013 03:50 PM

Dunno what people are saying about him being called up too soon. He's been in FCW since 2008. Maybe they wanna give him one last shot to get over to see if he's really worth it.
