I don't see anything wrong with Dallas settling in the midcard, really. Eh, I think this "news" is akin more to a Fandango/Damien Sandow/Adam Rose role where they do nothing of relevance. Honestly, I think the main event scene needs a funny guy and Bo Dallas could fill that role.

I have no interest in comparing Zack Ryder to a 24 year old, third generation superstar connected to Blackjack Mulligan, Barry Windham, Mike Rotunda and Bray Wyatt. Being a third generation superstar doesn't mean shit. Is Curtis Axel a better superstar than all other midcarders simply because of who his father and grandfather are? Also, just because you have merchandise out, doesn't mean it's selling.

There's never been a time where I've wanted Triple H to legit smack somebody in the dome with sledgie. Until now. Seriously, I know Vince has this compulsion to work until he's left this mortal coil, but get that assbag a hobby, like bonzai trees or something. *googles bonsai trees Damn, I think THIS assbag right here just found a new hobby. They're so cute, I need one

Time to dress him up in a tie and suspenders and make him I.R.S. Jr. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Maybe Bo can return to the gimmick when he doesn't sound like a 9-year old teddy bear unich. I honestly have no idea what one of those would even sound like. ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

Is this the new formula for NewZ? It seems like every few weeks we get a report of someone from NXT not being favored by Vince. Probably, but it is also a pretty logical thing to be happening. Vince spent the last decade with a yes-man as his talent scout, running through wrestler after wrestler who to some extent fit a certain WWE main event mold. Triple H has been hiring the quirky indy guys, and NXT has produced gimmicks, ring attire, and overall performances that are hugely at odds with the past ten years of Clone Factory. The Clone Factory thing that we all joke about lasted a long time, keep in mind - that was a very long time of guys getting a very particular treatment, with only a few standouts managing to break way from that pack. It would not have persisted if it didn't fit with the way Vince likes things done. When the product coming out of NXT looks so different, when the hiring choices have suddenly skewed toward a smark's fantasy league, when the new debuts have gimmicks that stand out (for good or ill) against the previous few years' worth of characters and clash with their tone...yeah. I think that's an indication that it's indeed pretty likely that Vince just does not get what Triple H is doing.

Blech. If it's true, I'll be glad when Hunter's in charge. Anyway, I think they need to shift gears away from the motivational speaker schtick and have him revert a bit more back to his NXT character. And NXT theme. Because that shit's awesome. The NXT gimmick relied too much on the idea that he was a legitimately inadequate performer getting pushed over obviously better workers like Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville. The gimmick would be ruined when Bo eventually becomes "good in the ring". The motivational speaker stuff has a much longer shelf life.

Admittedly it did at first, but he'd improved greatly by the time he got to the end of his run and still managed to hold the gimmick up/be well recieved.

Zack Ryder was Bo Dallas before Bo Dallas. Zack did the self deprecating goofy average performer gimmick long before they thought of calling Bo up. What makes Bo different apart from who he's related to and being younger?

Does anyone know just what the heck Vince DOES like these days? Resthold Randy, Jorts Cena and HHH of course. Vince has given up on Ziggler, Fandango, Ryder, Bo Dallas and Damien Sandow. So yeah, the future of the company. He's given up on the future of his own company.

Yeah bro, Ryder's leagues above all those guys. On topic, Vince must be the worst person to go to Subway with.. Vince- I'll have the foot long turkey with avocado, lettuce, onion, tomato, sweet onion sauce, a little salt on the side, cut diagonally, wrapped twice, served on a brown plate, with 2 and a half cookies on the side. Subway Clerk after finishing insanely long order- Ok sir that'll be 12.99. Vince- Ahh forgot it I changed my mind I'll just go to Quiznos. (Makes it halfway down the street before going into a Panda Express muttering about it being too Asian)

Bah, like Vince has discovered sandwiches yet.
He's going to see that promo between Santino and Jared from Subway next summer and then go nuts. Next thing you know, Titus O'Neill: Puts Avocado on Everything will be a thing.
