Until he takes the IC title away from Barrett If you like Barrett and don't like Bo, you should want Bo to take the IC title from him. All it would mean is that Bo would start jobbing viciously, while Barrett is featured more. The IC title is only half a step up from being on superstars. I like Barrett and I want Barrett's star power to give the belt a rub. I'd rather see Barrett feuding with someone like The Miz. Or if Barrett does have to job out the title to someone lower in the pecking order I'd rather it be someone already on the main roster who WWE is trying to rebuild. Bo can job viciously without bringing down the IC Title. All the hard work that Big Show, Christian, Miz, and now Barrett put into bigging the belt up would get flushed down the toilet. Give the belt to Bo and it will be lower than the U.S. Title.

Miz did nothing with the IC title. The last time it felt like the holder gave a damn was Rhodes and now Barrett. I wouldn't have Barrett drop the title to Bo, but possibly make it a Hardy/Taker match where Bo comes so close and takes Wade to the limit, that he earns some respect.

Give the belt to Bo and it will be lower than the U.S. Title. The IC title was terrible during all of those runs. It is already lower than the US title. In fact Cesaro's US title run, which isn't even anything special, is better than anything that happened with the IC title lately. Big Show feuded with Rhodes, won it, then lost it back to him a month later. As soon as that was over, Rhodes lost it to Christian with no build. Christian lost the title to Miz with no build. Miz lost it to KOFI KINGSTON which is where Barrett got it from. I didn't even have to look that up, because it all happened in the last year. There can't be any bigging up of the US or IC title with a brand splits worth of titles around but no brand split. Right now if you're deemed worthy of pushing but they don't feel you have any drawing power yet, you win the World Heavyweight Title instead of the WWE title. If you're not at that level, you piddle around and aren't on the show half the time. Then you wrestle Kofi Kingston sometimes. That's the way they've been presenting it. Cesaro has been a rare exception lately. Of course, they're clearly wanting to move Cesaro up the card and you can expect him to lose his title sooner rather than later.

I wonder how long I'd have to wait until I can say I don't like Bo Dallas without people jumping down my throat about it. 6 months? A year? Is there some sort of official protocol on how long a superstar's on the main roster before I can actively criticize his work?

Oh God he's younger than me. I think this is the first time someone's debuted and been younger than me. I instantly hate him. And he's billed as 6 foot 1 which is clearly about 6 feet OTT. Fun fact. Bo Dallas is the first wrestler born in the 90's to have a match in a WWE ring

So somewhere in there is the world's least interesting wrestler.

The way I see it, there's no problem in hating him right now. But, equally, there is no problem in waiting things out and seeing if he gets better either as a character and/or as a wrestler. Someone mentioned early face Santino... within a year he was one of the most popular heels on the roster, so much so that it's basically cemented a mid-range level of overness ever since. I also present Mark Henry as an example... it took him 12 YEARS to find a character that clicked (his ECW run). Before that, he was just as hated as Dallas is.
All I'm saying is, nobody is wrong here. If people think he sucks right now and is holding a place in the roster from someone more deserving, so be it. If people want to keep faith in him to see if he gets better like many others in the same situation have, so be it.

I'll wait a little bit since he just started but what I've seen doesn't give me much faith.

Under the mass of Barrsaro & Candow? PPV quality in ring action, the death of a man (literally) under hilarious circumstances. Note: if anyone mistakes this as a post saying I'd be happy if Bo Dallas died then I don't know what to tell you.

And then walk away with a big smile on his face.
