Bo is truly one of the worst professional wrestlers I've ever seen. He's ok in the ring but his promo delivery and general charisma are gash. His face is truly one of the most annoying around too. Absolute go away heat.

Haha completely agree. Very annoying head..

I thought Miz was the least tough looking pro wrestler I'd ever seen til this guy arrived. Makes Miz look like Stone Cold.

Having not watched much NXT, I don't even really understand what Bo's gimmick is meant to be.

He thinks he is a babyface but he is actually a heel is best way to describe his gimmick.

It does demand an explanation of the backstory. Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) was renamed NXT two years ago or so. Bo was super over pushed in FCW and fans began turning on Bo with "No more Bo" chants quickly after FCW became NXT.

Like mxph3 said he prefers to here booing as cheers as in "Bo"s and not "Boo"s.

Thought they would have learned from the Emma disaster that introducing people with a gimmick established on another show is a bad idea.

Or to put it another way: He is Cena, the fans react to him as if he's Cena, but he thinks they're reacting to him the same way the WWE thinks the fans react to Cena.

Reminds me of Kurt Angle, one of my favourite ever gimmicks. Could be good if he has the talent to pull it off.

Palo Alto

Anything that requires that much explanation will definitely get over!

It sounds like something that happened organically, an attempt to recreate the same thing again is unlikely to work.

Another sign ROH is gaining on TNA domestically:

The annual pro wrestling event presented at The Brooklyn Cyclones' MCU Field in NY, which has been promoted by TNA for years, will be presented by Ring of Honor this summer.

ROH will debut at the Stadium on Saturday 8/16.

Was TNA's biggest US house show every year to my memory.

That's really their poster? They need a new graphic designer. For how far ahead RoH are of other indie products, that makes them look like Generic Indie Fed #4539.

Jesus the Briscoes are some scary looking ****ers haha

ROH wouldn't be ROH without terrible graphic design.

They were sure to advertise their Playboy Cover Model anyway.

Steen tweeted this before his match tonight:

That Glasgewgian crowd ICW have some nifty posters. It can't be that hard to find a friend of somebody with some graphic design skills.

It's Photoshop, like, for me you should be able to find someone within your circle that can do that moderately well (or at least a fan who'll do it as a nixer for $50 and free tickets). It's kinda become a 21st century life skill at this stage. I've seen ICW's stuff before and agree it's good, I think it's PCW (or another English indie) that do decent stuff like that too. Those kinda skills are cheap these days and just require a bit of imagination and passion for your product, it's a bit unforgivable IMO.

Anyway, apologies for dragging us off-topic.

For anyone who is interested: Mick Foley is going to make some very important announcement on a very important decision he has made.

He's returning:

He's writing another book.

Diabhal Beag

Was hoping he'd live in a cabin with no communication to the outside world tbh.

Tori Amos has a new album:

Him having his own Podcast on PodcastOne is a good guess. His first guests will be Steve Austin, Jim Ross, Chris Jericho, Roddy Piper and Lance Storm.

aaaaaaaahhhhhh

He's going to announce today is "May 19th"
Getting bad Kane flashbacks with that :-(

EdK

He's auctioning off his remaining schred of dignity?

Palo Alto

He's quitting the world of comedy.

(Please be true)

PWInsider seems to think Daniel Bryan will be out for 3-4 months.
