* IdiotBall: Interrupting ''Brock Lesnar'' is one thing. But then ''insulting'' him on a loss to the Undertaker is something else. It ends with Bo getting taken to Suplex City five times and an F5.
-->'''JBL''': I'd say run, Bo, but you can't move. When they replay this later, you'll realize you're the dumbest man on the planet.
-->'''Michael Cole''': Why in the world would you ever want to make Brock Lesnar even ''more'' angry?

* BitchInSheepsClothing: As "The Inspirational One", Dallas plays a seemingly upbeat, squeaky-clean wannabe role model who insults and condescends to crowds and opponents alike.



* ImplausibleDeniability: For the longest time in NXT, he could not, would not admit that the crowd hated him. Case in point: once when the crowd chanted "''BORING''" at him, he smiled and yelled back "Yes, this [[InsultMisfire is]] [[{{Pun}} Bo's ring]]!"



* VillainousBreakdown: [[ParodiedTrope Spoofed]] when he lost his last NXT match, [[LoserLeavesTown which cost him his job]]. The normally [[FauxAffablyEvil chipper and positive]] Dallas finally lost his cool and railed at the audience for spurning him. Of course, his insults were [[PokeThePoodle a little weak]].

* TooDumbToLive: Interrupted '''''Wrestling/BrockLesnar''''' the night after Lesnar lost to Wrestling/TheUndertaker via submission (due to being knocked out by Hell's Gate), and then had the audacity to mock him about it in his own "inspirational" way. Even JBL, normally a fan of Bo, outright called him "the dumbest man on the planet" on commentary. And that's how Bo became a resident of Suplex City.

* LighterAndSofter: In a way, Bo's gimmick is like a LighterAndSofter version of his brother's gimmick: both are heels who preach to the audience, but while Bray's an AxCrazy cult leader with a mission, Bo's an inspirational moron. Both have a lot of fans in their corner, but Bray's fans actually take him seriously while (as intended), Bo's fans support him and laugh at him at the same time. Both like to push their own creeds, but while Bray delivers his sermons as a mix of metaphors and florid prose hiding messages of intent, Bo just gives people trite cliches. And they're both pretty solid opponents, but while Bray's an absolute monster, Bo is ''mostly'' harmless. Unless your name is El Torito.
