5 Wrestlers Who Could Be NXT's Unknown Insurgent
5. Bo Dallas
Bo Dallas turned his Twitter into a value range version of his brothers recently, and Ryan Satin just happened to stop it from being a tree falling in Silicon Valley with nobody following to see it.
A not-that-cryptic selection of suggestions saw Dallas talk about "following your dreams" and being on a "life changing expedition" with #TheOriginalNXTChampion and #TheFutureWasAlwaysNow as accompanying hashtags. These all dropped before the vignette, which focused on somebody with an eye on the company's top title.
This suggested that it was a former titleholder, with Dallas' garbled mystery man stuff fitting the profile as well as any prior Champion that might want to make a return to the brand having gotten lost on the main roster.
The problem here is not one we the fans should have to worry about, but one any discerning NXT viewer almost certainly will. Dallas was a comedic figure by the time he was defeated by Neville on the first live Network special. A performer actively phased out as attention on the brand was phased up. Worse still, if this is serious and not total parody, he'll feel like a one-man RETRIBUTION trying to rattle a brand that outgrew when he was still on it.
At least that was over. This, as it is, could really really struggle.
