10 NXT Stars That Have Been Squandered
6. Bo Dallas
Gotta hand it to WWE; sometimes they can turn you-know-what into salad. When Dallas bombed as a traditional babyface, to the point where the Full Sail regulars playfully boycotted him, he dialed his personality to eleven, playing up condescending elements of skewed virtuousness. By the time Dallas came to the main roster full time in 2014, his mousy voice was put to use as a human motivational poster that made fans want to puke - in a good way.
Dallas was a nice throwback to deluded and obnoxious heels like The Mountie and Rick "The Model" Martel, but the uniqueness was snuffed out quickly (in part due to an injury). After floundering for ages, Dallas has found only a modicum of use as the 'sensitive one' of the Social Outcasts, but he's capable of more.
