Exactly, as I said earlier I predict a Mahal pop for Bo. ANYBODY from that lineup would get no reaction whatsoever, Yeah that's what I said originally, however I think a few of them had a chance of winning the crowd over. I think this thread shows what a good idea NXT is, a lot of us are already invested in much of the roster, although in some cases that's also due to their indy work.

It's not even so much that Bo's getting into the Rumble. It's that he's getting into it over other superstars on the show that are more over, and more talented than him. Which in the bigger picture, shows that the WWE still isn't above pushing who they like, rather than actually listening to its fans. The way I see it, this could be the hook he needs to get some kind of momentum going... Everyone else (except maybe Grey, but he's somewhat of an unknown quantity still) has something that could get them over at any other time. Dallas may not deserve to be in there, but he might just be the one who needed it the most. And besides... if anything, none of the other 7 are tarnished by the "Rumble loser" brush yet. Don't make me keep finding your silver linings, guys.

Honestly though its not like whoever won would be over in the least at the Rumble, considering their not on TV. The reaction will be "who?" for no matter who wins.

That's true, but I fear that it'll be more than just a one-off appearence. I mean, why would the WWE debut a superstar on the second biggest PPV of the year, only to throw them back on NXT for people to forget them again?

They did do that with Kharma, and with stuff like random Mexican guys, have them just be in the Rumble. And as far as WWE pushing who they like the most rather than who's necessarily most deserving (in a completely subjective evaluation of performance and popularity), when has that ever not been the case?

Kharma was already part of the main roster, and it was her choice to not come back, not the WWE's. And those random Mexican guys weren't part of the WWE roster at all and were just used to fill out spots. And while a superstar's performance can be seen as subjective, their popularity can't. And just because the WWE does this often, doesn't mean people have to just accept it.

A lot of times it seems like they do things just to annoy them.

Maybe they decided it would be the best way to debut someone they have less confidence in them hoping they can get a rub, as opposed to someone like Neville who can get over in the ring or Kruger on the stick? Just a thought, regardless Im glad to see NXT being acknowledged by mainstream WWE

hasn't Bo been in NXT longer than any other one of those guys. I think so, but I think he got signed when he was 18 or 19. WWE's view is likely that it won't hurt him to have the extra time to train while he matures as a human being.

hasn't Bo been in NXT longer than any other one of those guys. Let's look at the stats: O'Brian: July 2005 (1st tenure), July 2010 (2nd tenure) Dallas: November 2008 Kruger: February 2010 Woods: July 2010 Graves: August 2011 Grey: March 2012 Harper: March 2012 Neville: July 2012 So... other than the fact that O'Brian had been hired and fired before Dallas started, then got re-hired again after Dallas started... yes.

this whole guy I don't like winning is terrible thing is getting ridiculous. The strange thing is that Dallas is probably one of the least pushed out of the 8 in the tournament, outside of Grey and Woods... Dallas: Tag team with main roster's Michael McGillicutty Graves: Already had a title shot, now likely to feud with the main roster's Alex Riley Grey: Tag team championship tournament semi-finalist with Neville, but was only a jobber beforehand Harper: Tag team championship tournament semi-finalist with Erick Rowan, managed by arguably the best talker in NXT in Bray Wyatt Kruger: Tag team with Kassius Ohno, arguably helped write Trent Barreta out of WWE Neville: Tag team championship tournament semi-finalist with Grey, incredibly over finishing move O'Brian: Part of a heavily-pushed tag team before his partner got released, but holds on to the gimmick and is now the likely next title feud for Big E Langston Woods: Only 1 TV appearance so far So all this talk about "being pushed down people's throats" is just nonsense. That statement seems to get thrown around to just about anyone who wins a match these days...
