YMMV / Bo Dallas

Go To

  • Awesome Music: His previous entrance theme "Anything" by Jim Johnston.
  • Breakup Breakout: His brother Duke, Bray Wyatt of The Wyatt Family, had far bigger success than he had.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: One of the biggest in the company. Especially when you remember how not long before, almost nobody in the IWC liked him. The way he's managed to go from one end of the scale to the other in less than a year is absolutely amazing.
  • Memetic Mutation: "R.I.P. Bo Dallas 1990-2015" after Bo interrupted Brock Lesnar the night after SummerSlam and subsequently took a trip to Suplex City.
  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Even though he got some cheers during his match with Sami Zayn at SummerSlam Axxess, the crowd was almost relentlessly against him, and there appeared to be nothing he could do to change their minds. Turning him into a delusional conniving heel who somehow thinks he's a face seems to have done this with a lot of people. At the very least it's convinced people to take him as being So Bad, It's Good. His brother's rapidly rising popularity at the time certainly helped improve his standing with fans.
  • So Bad, It's Good: His gimmick of a delusional heel, who thinks he's a face. It shouldn't work...and yet it does. It worked so well, in fact, that WWE made a stable with a similiar gimmick.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Bo Dallas's exit from NXT. He was put in a match against Big E, where if he won, he'd get a NXT Championship match and if he lost he had to leave NXT. He ended up losing and threw a hissy fit over it. This would have made a much bigger impact if it wasn't for the fact that several promo packages had been played hyping up his debut on the Main Roster priot to that, and if said debut hadn't already taken place when he was banished from NXT.
  • WTH, Costuming Department?: His plain white trunks that he's been wearing for a majority of 2015 have elicited this reaction from a lot of people. Many say it looks like a diaper. Perhaps fittingly, since joining the Social Outcasts, he's changed outfits.
