10 Fascinating Facts About WWE In 2013
9. Bo Dallas Made Rumble History
You've got to Bo-lieve!
Bo Dallas won an NXT tournament to punch his ticket and guarantee a spot in the Rumble match. His inclusion would make WWE history. Get this: Bo was the first entrant who was actually younger than the famous match type itself. It's true. Dallas was born on 25 May 1990, and the Rumble debuted in January 1988. Feel old yet?
Bo entered the match as #16, and lasted a respectable 21 minutes before being eliminated by the unique combo of Sin Cara and Wade Barrett. Rumours Wade immediately shouted, "BOOM!" as soon as Dallas hit the ringside mats are unsubstantiated. Probably/definitely happened though.
Barrett had already been ousted from the match by Dallas when he pulled the NXT rookie to the floor with him. This wasn't exactly a sign of things to come for Bo on the main roster, but maybe that'll change with his Uncle Howdy gimmick in full flow as part of The Wyatt Sicks.
