WWE.COM is now adverting a "Special" Miz TV with Ryback.

Yawn. This will most likely lead to Miz vs. Cesaro or Ryback vs. Cesaro. Both of which we JUST saw. Lame.

2 Thoughts

1 - They must have never thought Bo would go over so well and stumbled into this feud.

2 - They need to change it to a US title cup which makes sense with Cesaro as champ

Don't see why they couldn't just add Bo to the tournament real quick.

I have no problem with Bo and Wade. They stumbled into something that should write itself with the whole NXT parallels and 123 Kid/Razor Ramon past story


I just think they could redirect this idea toward Cesaro. Make it a US title cup seeing as he's from overseas. The could even lengthen the process out to Mania if done right with the challenger getting their shot there.

Bit of a let down as I was looking forward to this. I guess with Bo Dallas going over so well they already have an opponent for Barrett. Would be good if they switch this to a US tournament instead to see who can take on Cesaro.

They could have added Bo to the tournament, and kept it up. Sure it would feel predictable, but atleast this would have carried on.

Booking on the fly did not help WCW!

Plus Bo winning the tournament would have meant three more wins over quality opponents so it would have built him even more. It is a missed opportunity but if they make it into a US title tournament it will help make up for it.

I don't see why everyone is going nuts over the US title cup idea. There is already a feud going for that title.

Because it is at least a way to salvage this tournament idea for the MainEvent show. Plus I like tournaments.

Bo really could have used the push, I have been watching him since his first NXT match and couldnt be more impressed with his work. A well paced, conservative style with enough flash to make the fans notice.

The whole underdog to #1 contender story could have established Bo as a mid-card talent.

As a fan of tournaments putting Dallas in it and having Barrett try to cost him it would have made a lot of sense. You have Bo not only win some matches but you have him overcome adversity too. O well, the feud still could be decent.
