Bo Dallas a failure?

[Guest Iceman000]

Omg! What is wwe doing with this kid? His character is really annoying to the point that you wanna just turn off the tv. And his finisher? Bo dog or whatever he calls it, is crap! He needs to change it or else he wont reach what his brother is in right now.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

That's the point of the character, he's a petty know it all brat kid who thinks he's helping the world get by. I agree the finisher is a little weak but for someone who only debut 10 days ago I think he's doing fine

[Guest pheadley]

hes getting wins and mic time so hes doing alright. reminds me of the ddp''and thats a good thing' gimmick. and im likeing the heel helping the babyface up and the pat on the back makes you wanna slap him, so hes doing his job well i think. Edited May 29, 2014 by pheadley

[Guest tmsnge]

Yeah, i got no beef with what he's done in the little time he's had on tv. Give it a chance. Not everything can strike gold straight away - not that he has flopped yet though...

Wrestler portraying heel character annoys viewers... more on this breaking story at 11.

[Guest Will O the Wisp]

His current role does nothing for me. I might still have a bad taste from his last stint that went nowhere. In any case I think it is still to early to classify him as a failure or a success.

[Guest The Beltster]

He's been on TV for 1 week and you're asking if he's a failure...

 

Any if he never reaches the level of his brother thats irrelevant, he doesnt have to match up to that to be a success. Plus, Bray and the Wyatts when they first debuted on WWE TV for the first month or so werent over at all. It took time for people to get into them.

[Guest pheadley]

i wouldnt classify bray wyatt as a success just yet. he still has alot to prove himself.

[Guest The Beltster]

He's over to the point where he's basically turned himself babyface, he's a great promo and a good worker and he has been feuding with the companies biggest star of the last decade. I'd say he's a success.

[Guest pheadley]

where would you rank ryback. is he a success even though hes at the bottom of the card.

[ViciousPrism 177]

Ryback is a failure, at least in the mid/upper card. They pushed him to the moon, which was fun for a while and then they turned him into the biggest bitch heel complaining about how Cena wasn't watching his back or some such bullshit. Bare in mind, this was a guy who was squashing multiple guys in handicap matches for months and then... "Waaaaaaaaaaaah".

 

Ryback also got exposed, because he had little to no experience workig a proper match. It was pretty much all squashes up until Mark Henry at Mania, where Mark went over.

[Guest Edgehead]

I really liked Ryback until they turned him heel. I used to enjoy his handicap squash matches. Now he is just sh*t, if I never saw Rybaxel again it would be too soon.

You're a mark.

 

Bo Dallas a shit.

[Guest Vanillascooper]

Just Bo-lieve and all will be ok! Give him some time.

[Guest The Beltster]

I think you just answered your own question...

[Guest pheadley]

well ryback was in the main event with cena and punk and look how it turned out for him. im not hateing on bray wyatt i just think going against the top guy does not make him a success yet. the storyline gives cena something to do while hes not in the title picture and gives wyatt a hand in his push as a top heel.

but you aren't comparing like for like. If you compare Ryback facing off for the world title versus Bray now both are a success, in the long term Ryback gets a shitty gimmick change and dies a death but you've literally no idea what Bray will go on to do. He could go from strength to strength and become the next breakout superstar.

 

Be sensible.

I take it you don't watch NXT?

 

It's a problem I've touched on before where WWE brings up guys as their fully-formed NXT characters and just assume that everyone will know the gimmick. It happened to Emma (where her bumbling and dancing got over organically over a number of months as it was built up piece by piece) when she debuted because we were all expected to know the gimmick.

 

For someone like me who watches NXT, it was exciting to see Emma move up to the main roster, but for those who didn't watch NXT, it was just a case of "who is this clumsy Aussie bint?" Big E. Langston also suffered as they took away virtually everything that got him over in NXT, mainly the 5-count gimmick.

Ryback also got exposed, because he had little to no experience workig a proper match. It was pretty much all squashes up until Mark Henry at Mania, where Mark went over.

Ryback did well in the more competitive matches against the likes of Miz and Dolph Ziggler, while also holding his own in the team battles against The Shield.

 

He also had hard-hitting brawls with Cesaro and a good series with Punk until his shitty heel turn. From that point on, he's had his moments, but he's definitely a long way off from his peak. He could get there again, but he'd need some serious rehabilitation.

Your comparison is lame. Ryback WAS having success, now he isnt. Now he sucks. Bray is currently successful, in the long run he might shit out too but you cant question if he is successful or not right now because obviously he is.

[Guest pheadley]

just had an idea for a thread

[Guest BeorimJ]

I Bo-lieve that Bo Dallas makes a Bo-tifull heel

[Guest Ciaran The King]

If Bray wasn't so sinister then he'd be going the same way as the Shield have.....turning face

 

Bray is fresh, original, unlike any other superstar currently, he's over.

 

Concerning Ryback.....he sucks

[DC 536]

Bray is fresh, original, unlike any other superstar currently, he's over.

I wouldn't say it's totally original as, for me, there are elements of Raven from his initial run in ECW as well as elements of Waylon Mercy (and not just the clothes) and Jake Roberts in regards to how the promos (especially the backstage ones) are delivered.

 

It's more like a modern updating / evolution of those characters.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Yeah I agree, miss worded

[Guest fattyfudge]

I wasn't too fussed about his debut on Smackdown but when I watched him I thought he was really entertaining, and its a fresh take on a different kind of heel so I'm welcoming him
