..when he gets called up? Instead of using the term 'tax cheats' he could use the term 'worthless peasents' or something, be a sort of a Wall Street rep or something like his dad was in WCW. In today's tough economic climate, that would get mega heatz!

Not a bad idea although he looks more like he belongs in an Occupy Wall Street rally as opposed to actual Wall Street.

No. It's very rare that sons using their fathers' gimmicks get over. Every major success who was a son of a wrestler that I can think of got famous on their own merit or with their own style (Bret Hart, The Rock, Mr. Perfect, Randy Orton). I'm sure there are exceptions here and there, but 90 percent of the time, the key to success is not rehashing something so blatantly.

They should do an angle where Tatanka comes back and reveals Bo is actually his kid and he did it as a revenge on his enemy IRS

I've said a few times now they should package one of his sons as... Isaac Neil Schyster...  |

So...Bo Dallas Shyster? BDS? Which is an acronym for "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions" which is a Palestinian boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel.
Seems like a pretty complicated gimmick to get over, IMO.

Redoing his father's gimmick worked really well for Ted Dibiase Jr., I'm sure Bo would be no different at all!

If Ted Jr. had his father's charisma and speaking abilities he would have been a multi-time world champion at this point. The spoiled douchebag son of the Million Dollar Man would have been an amazing heel character if done right. Shame Cody wasn't born to Ted. |

I joked once about something like Isaac or Irvin N. Schyster, sometimes called INS. Instead of tax cheats, he goes after illegal immigrants.

No one in the WWE should copy their father's gimmick if they're not using the name. The naming of these guys (and eventually girls), is the most moronic thing they could do. Hennig has name value, Gurerreo has name value, Rotundo (while not as much) has name value.
Use the names. Not the gimmicks.
