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. |

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

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

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. |

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 |

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.

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. |

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? |

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

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.

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"

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.

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.

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.

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.

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