Sorry if there is already a 10,000 page official Bo Dallas thread, I did look but I couldn't find one.
I've only really been watching NXT over the last two months, and I've just gotta say how much I love this guy. Just an awesome traditional oldschool heel, but modelled in an unconventional manner. I mean, I know it's the NXT audience, but there is genuine hatred for the guy.
My question was how the character got started, I mean, we're they pushing him as an uber face John Cena style, and then got creative once he started receiving boos. Or was this gimmick a planned out move over the course of his title run?

He was push as the John Cena of NXT and the fans got tired of it. They still kept pushing him as a face until they decide it was time to turn him.

From what I could tell they were going for the underdog babyface bullshit in the beginning, but he got nuclear go away heat so they tweaked his gimmick to make him a delusional asshole.

This, pretty much. And it's been damn effective, I'd never hated a wrestler as much as I did him as a face, and now he's turned heel and I find his antics constantly entertaining.

He's awesome, but like many people in NXT, I question whether it will cross over well to RAW
It's what happens when people move from a wrestling show, to the app-selling, commercial filled, variety show which is RAW.

IMO he's still the same John Cena character only there's not plenty of kids among NXT crowds to cheer for Bo like they do for John.

Neville or Zayn need to take the title from him soon. Honestly, he's just not that good. He could be an IC/US level guy at best.

I want him on the main roster. His creepyness is entertaining and he could do well in a odd couple tag team.

I remember hearing some negative things about CJ Parker, does he get the crowds venom also in the 'hey! you guys are supposed to be cheering' sort of way?

He still gets Xpac Heat from me. That's Bo Dallas heat Silence from people who secretly like Bo but don't want to show their liking of Bo, because they are ashamed to like Bo.

He had go away heat from me a few months. I thought they gave him the title just because people hated him because he was generic and average and they did it to piss off people. But nope, he great at the delusional guy gimmick.
BTW, there have yet to be a reason for us to hate him. Seriously he doesn't cheap shot people and he always put them over in promos/on commentaries. Hell, he had a match against a jobber and he helped him gently after he beating him in a fare match. Sami got cheap shot on Bo and what did Bo do? He said that Sami hurted his feelings and he gave a shot at his title. There no reason to hate him. He is just unBOlievable.

Nobody was buying the plucky babyface routine with him, that and his ringwork was very blah (like, very plain) so they made him a delusional heel and he's ringwork has improved quite a bit. It's working wonders.

Even those instances with the exposed turnbuckle were just happy accidents.

Not everyone is going to be a main eventer, there is no shame in being in the midcard in the WWE. It's prevalent on this board. Everyone HAS to be WWE champion, & hold the title for a loooong time, or else they're barrrrried. Don't be champ too long though, because then the burrrrrried becomes the berrrrrrrier. Not everyone has to be champion, nor do they even need to be involved in championship feuds. /rant Sorry, that just bugs me sometimes.

Seems crazy to say, but he really reminds me of Chris Jericho in WCW. The disingenuous, delusional babyfacedom of it all. He's great in that I find him entertaining, but I HATE when he wins.

The gimmick is similar. I don't like him since he is just a very strange looking man who happens to be outclassed by a number of NXT wrestlers, but they have made the most of it, after an initial ill-advised push of him as the top face.

No everyone is going to be a main eventer, there is no shame in being in the midcard in the WWE. I agree, and yet, there IS shame in being in the midcard, because nowadays, that means that you'll get yo-yo pushes and practically no storylines, and get fed to main eventers and whoever is a new arrival on the main roster. It doesn't have to be that way of course, and it shouldn't be so that "midcard" is a byword for nothingness, but that's the corner WWE has thrown itself in.

I'm glad that the NXT crowd still boos him despite him finally being entertaining; it would be the death of this character if they actually showed their appreciation.
