Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Me and my crew met Bo at Axcess two years ago and he couldn't have been more nice. Was just thrilled we actually watched NXT and knew who he was.

There is no part of my brain that can imagine Bo Dallas not in character in real life. None.

I'm pretty sure he didn't have a character then. It was when he was happy go lucky guy who had an armdrag as a finisher and got beaten up by Wade Barrett.

Also, Gangrel had a weird way of dropping elbows. Its hard to explain, just watch a clip of him and the way he hits elbow drops is just...different.

Gangrel had a really weird, unique style to lots of common moves. Like, he would jump during irish whips, and it looked rad.

Man i don't get how anyone can hate the Bo Dallas gimmick. It's both subtle and over the top. It's fantastic. The way he slightly rubs people the wrong way, and condescendingly talks down to people without realizing it. He plays his part really well. His wrestling isn't amazing but he can do what he needs to do in the ring. When I first saw Bo I honestly thought he was the worst person I have seen in a long time. This gimmick has made me a BOliever though.

Thank you Bosed God

Haha, Bo has had one match and already he's brought about the dreaded X-Pac discussion. "Well people are only Bo-ing him because they want him to leave, and this is different from people Bo-ing him because he's an rear end in a top hat and viewers will run in terror from Bo rather than continuing to watch the show and continue Bo-ing him and"

I hate Bo Dallas on a personal level because I find it objectionable that he is not at least as good or better than Greatest Wrestler In The World, Daniel Bryan.

This may or may not be correct.

Bo Dallas might be the worst wrestler ever to be compared to Kurt Angle.

His character is pretty great though. Just wait until they give him a title.

Yeah, I'm in this camp, and PSP's fascination with him feels like a repeat of the obsession with Ryder a few years ago because of *~*~OH RADIO~*~*. In addition to looking like a complete goober, he's a poo poo wrestler and a poo poo promo. "Bo-lieve" doesn't make up for those gaps.

PSP always gets obsessed with everything when its new. People will get tired of Bo Dallas just like they got tired of The Funkasaurus Brodus Clay. And when they get tired of Adam Rose they'll feel the same way about him too.

Edit: I should correct myself. Part of it is because WWE's only way of getting somebody new over is to drive the good things about them into the ground for 8 months before finally giving them a proper feud. Because you know, people won't like them until they beat JTG about a dozen times.

Bo puns are fun and stupid and if you expect something more than fun and stupid from a soap opera about oily, waxed men rolling around in their underwear in order to win a belt to hold up pants they don't have then you should probably just stop watching major US promotions.

I think its unfair to Bo because no one can be as good as Kurt Angle in his prime. He's just a mediocre wrestler with a gimmick that some find amusing.

Yeah, there's a lot about Bo that just seems off. (I'm still convinced he actually let go of the pin before the three count) My overall opinion of him will depend on what they do with him. I'll be laughing for days if he ever pins Cena clean for a championship.
