Hard to say without the ratings, people are popping pretty loudly for people who go against him if it helps.

I only knew yesterday that Bo is Bray Wyatt's little brother, couldn't believe it one bit to be honest.

Does Bo have lukewarm heat or legitimate heat? The former being something that makes you turn the channel, the latter being something that makes you stay tuned when the guy is on because you actually want to see him lose.

If it's the latter kind of heat, I'd love to see it carry over with him to the main roster soon. Funny considering it's pretty much the exact reaction everyone here had of him back as far as January.
An entire section of the crowd reportedly turned their backs to Bo last night when he had his matches. That's legit heat.



The one episode of NXT I watched (the May 2nd episode) showed Jericho defeating Bray Wyatt and I'm guessing that probably wasn't Wyatt's only loss there.

Jericho is Bray's only loss since he debuted the character back in early 2012.

Also taking a liking to Mr. Breeze's gimmick. He seems to be borrowing some from old Shawn Michaels. Twitter reports say that some time after his match the ring announcer got up and said "Mr. Breeze has left the building". Like how they did for Shawn in the late 80's and early 90's.

Also, selfies:

Yeah it is really great. A good character always helps. It can also cover wrestlers flaws/downsides.
If a guy ain't a good talker, give him a character that doesn't speak/has a manager and such.

Love NXT's passion for giving each stars different gimmicks. One of the biggest problems with RAW is the lack of gimmicks.


I suppose that's the good thing about it being so small, they don't have many people to appease so can do what they want. Bo's character is essentially Cena just searching for the boos though, it's wonderful in it's simpleness.

Harper vs Sheamus is bound to be a good match. Sheamus works the best against hard hitters/physical wrestlers. And Harper is the second coming of Bruiser Brody.
