So if he was made a heel, who's the top face in NXT?

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 don't get this complaint. No everyone is going to be a main eventer, there is no shame in being in the midcard in the WWE. You have no idea how this works. EVERY "midcard" guy is the next Hogan/Austin/Rock who has been held down by the evil WWE Machine because the whole company is built around protecting Cena and giving the illusion that some people actually buy his merch and root for him. It's a ... conspiracy! Happy to straighten that out for ya.

I think people sometimes lose sight of the fact that the guy is 23 and has been doing this for years already. For his age, Bo Dallas is damn good in the ring already. We've already seen him put on some wrestling clinics and he wasn't being carried at all. Once he really comes into his own and masters promo work, man I am scared of his potential on the main roster.

The start of his heel turn was pretty creative, Oliver Grey and Neville were tag champions but Grey got injured, instead of stripping them of the titles Bo took Grey's place and acted like he was a legit champion before losing the belts to the Wyatts in their first defence. I suppose it was similar to HHH being handed the WHC rather than earning the gold.
He then started heeling it up a bit in his interactions with Neville who I think he blamed for the loss, to this day he still refers to himself as a former tag champion on his list of accolades which also includes his rumble win. That in turn plays into him acting like a grizzled veteran with people who have been wrestling longer than he has, the way he usually wins due to a stroke of luck also helps with that part of his shtick.
It's all be subtly done to the point some didn't even realise the heel turn was in motion for the first few weeks.
Oh and like others have said he seems to have improved in the ring lately, him being pushed heavily while many others were better than him was a big part of the initial backlash.

The fact every title defence has the spotlight and steam when he wins makes me happy. It goes with the douchebag character, as does his quite frankly awesome theme. "I WILL BE THE ONE!"

I'm happy NXT is on Hulu. EVERY time Bo shows up, I fast-forward. Even with his "improvements", he's STILL the worst thing on NXT.

He's good now, but I looked him up on YouTube. Everything, even the tag matches, were decent to meh. But a clinic? Not even close.

Both Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn. Essentially. Sami Zayn is the "Daniel Bryan" in NXT right now, in my opinion.

No everyone is going to be a main eventer, there is no shame in being in the midcard in the WWE. There's nothing wrong with it - it's just the way he's being pushed right now on NXT isn't a way I'd like to see him featured in WWE. I think that's my main issue.

I guess I should have claified. I was talking about his stuff from earlier this year and everything before that was pretty meh, which is how the hatred of him started: him not having good matches or promos but still pushed hard over other more talented guys in developmental.

I totally get that. But we're heading into 2014 and there's still this genuine hate for him. Some people love to hate him cause he's a heel while most simply hate him as a talent, apparently. It's weird.

I say it every week in the NXT thread, as soon as Bo starts speaking I just start laughing. His character is such a jackass that he's hilarious. He has the "nice guy babyface underdog" voice down pat, and yet he's a heel. He is one of my favorite characters down there, and just a couple months ago I was on board as one of the people that couldn't stand him, so bravo to him for making this character work.
