10 Hypothetical WWE Brawl For All 2016 Contestants
9. Bo Dallas
It's funny how things work out in WWE sometimes. I mean, in one family, you have two third generation wrestlers currently competing in WWE, one portraying the gimmick of an unwashed, backwoods cult leader while his brother portrays an upbeat, clean-cut, motivational speaker with an ever-present ear-to-ear smile on his face.
Did I mention that the father of these two also wrestled for WWE and portrayed a tax collector for the US government, appropriately initialed I.R.S.?
Looking at the Rotunda family of WWE gimmicks, the two that come off as the weakest are actually portrayed by two legitimate grapplers.
Mike Rotunda, the former Irwin R. Schyster, was a collegiate wrestler at Syracuse University before becoming a pro-wrestler for Vince McMahon's WWF. Naturally, his son Taylor, aka Bo Dallas, joined his high school wrestling team at Hernando High School in Brooksville, FL where he qualified for the state wrestling championships in 2007 and 2008.
Also an American football player, Bo played linebacker in high school and was initially offered a scholarship at Webber International University.
From the character he portrays on TV, one wouldn't think Bo Dallas would make for a good Brawl For All competitor, but when you look at the 26 year-old's athletic background, it becomes clear that, especially in pro-wrestling, there's often more than meets the eye.
