4. The Bo Dallas Gimmick Isn't Working

The "Bolieve" character that Bo Dallas has isn't that bad if only WWE would get behind him. Since he's booked like a heel comedy character that loses most of his matches, that's probably never going to happen for him. It's a shame because it was such an enjoyable act in NXT when he was pushed as their champion. When Dallas is in a match on television these days everybody knows he's going to lose. Even though he had a funny line in his promo about Lana being attracted to Ziggler, he wasn't able to get the win or even last two minutes. Dallas was humiliated pretty quickly. If there's a positive about the match it's that Ziggler was able to win. He loses so often that it actually feels like a surprise when he wins. The good news for Bo is he's one of the youngest guys in WWE and has a really bright future. It's just he's going to need a gimmick change soon because the longer he's doing this "Bolieve" comedy jobber act, the further he's going to fall down the ladder.
