He's been in NXT for 5 years and the best he can do is the basics but gets the Cena push of being the best without any flashes of star power. Hell, he managed to turn the NXT audience against him in 3 weeks because of his skill/charisma to push ratio. It really makes hard to want to see a guy who has been booked like Cena '07 with 1/16th the talent leapfrog so many others in that case. Yeah, the better guys will hopefully get their shot but that doesn't mean we want to see Bo just because either. It's been 4 years (December 2008) and he's still only 22. My bad, 4 years and so? They're hoping for Orton or Brock and got someone that cannot out do Kenny Dykstra.

Brock was 24 when he debuted and was a freak of nature. Orton was 22 when he first appeared in WWE and certainly didn't look like anything special initially. The hand-ringing over "oh, so and so should have gotten this opportunity" just seems silly to me. Remember all the crying about Dean Ambrose not debuting? He, Rollins, and Reigns are currently being booked as the strongest force around and as top stars. So yeah, I'd say he's better off not having debuted as the guy who rides Hunico to the ring or as Tensai's worshipper.

All of those guys in the NXT tournament (undecided on Grey so far) were more deserving to get a shot than Bo Dallas.
Although personally, I feel that if they were actually going to bring a new face into the fold of featured regulars, they should've started rebuilding the guys they already have on the main roster rather than calling someone up.
Too many guys currently on the roster getting held down. Not only does Bo get picked over the more talented NXT guys, he gets picked over main roster talent as well and that disgusts and offends me.

It should have been Kassius Ohno to get revenge on Barrett for stealing his finisher. I actually want to see Wade and Kass blow Bo's brains out with a double elbow.

I'm starting to mark for Bo just because he looks like such a tool.
It's almost like they're making fun of wrestling fans by even using him.
"YEAH CHEER THIS GUY, f***ING LOOK AT HIM HE'S A FACE! HAHAHAHAHAHA"

Steamboat just returned from injury a few months ago. Unless he's injured again. I think he tweaked something or needed to get something cleaned up.

I read the title as "Why Not Richie Sambora" when I was scrolling down the page and was totally confused for a second.

See, here's the thing. When I first started watching FCW, it was this awesome hidden world full of these amazing, strange gems. I was going to get to have an inside look at the future of the WWE! I was going to see what WWE bookers could do when a McMahon wasn't breathing down their necks, and they could experiment and play around!
And for the most part, it really was exciting to see that: all these young people with weird gimmicks and storylines. Except, there was this one guy with this terrible hair, who seemed to win all the time and was treated as ultra-important even though he was more boring than everyone else. And after a while, whenever he showed up, I started just getting annoyed. And then eventually, I came to really dislike that guy and his stupid hair.
I have a feeling I'm not alone in my experience.

My question about this Bo Dallas thing is, why does Cole insist on referring to every NXT call up as an upstart? If they were all upstarts like The Shield guys, Big E Langston, or The Nexus then why wouldn't the whole NXT Roster invade Raw every week. It's a poor choice of words and a typical Cole crutch.

IRS and Ricky Steamboat had an intense rock-paper-scissors contest which IRS won.

I asked that in the Raw thread. It seems like this was tailor made for Richie, due to Wade hassling his father a few weeks back (with Santino). yup anyway, I'm speculating this Bo Dallas run might be a contender for Gooker Of The Year 2013

the better question is, why Richie Steamboat? why isn't he Richie Bassboat?
