15 MORE Wrestlers WWE Debuted In The Worst Way Possible

7. Bo Dallas

Bo Dallas always felt like he had the love of the front office more than he ever had the people behind him. Nevertheless, he enjoyed a successful run in NXT, which included beating Big E for the NXT Championship and a memorable feud with Sami Zayn. His inherent smugness was undeniable, but when he hit the main roster, this went into overdrive (and not in a good way).

Bo debuted on Monday Night Raw on April 7th, 2014, with a motivational speaker gimmick not unlike the one that failed with DDP a decade prior. His catchphrase of "all you have to do is Bo-lieve" was enough to put fans' teeth on edge, with the kind of "go away" heat that is no use to anybody.

He went on a 14-0 winning streak, in which he would stand his opponent up afterwards to give them a patronizing handshake and a hug. A heel's job is to be booed and generate negative feelings from the audience, but this sickly gimmick felt so icky that it's an albatross that Dallas carries to this day, with Solo Sikoa mocking Dallas for it while Bo plays his latest role as Uncle Howdy in The Wyatt Six.
