Bo Dallas is one of those guys you either despise, or you genuinely like. Regardless, it is hard to deny that Dallas had a great deal of charisma and he worked his gimmick flawlessly during the "BoLieve" storyline.
Dallas was the ultimate bad guy, using his ego to make all the fans absolutely loathe the very thought of him. Unfortunately for those who were not fans of Dallas, he would go on to carry the NXT Championship for 280 days.

It was certainly a good run for Dallas, but it would eventually come to an end at NXT Arrival in February of 2014. Bo would lose his championship to Adrian Neville in the main event of that show.
Bo was quite the entertainer throughout his lengthy reign as NXT Champion. His ego, combined with the entrance theatrics, made him an attraction, regardless of whether you loved or hated the third-generation superstar. I suppose growing up in a family with such a rich wrestling history of villains, it was only natural that Bo would go on to carry on the Windham family legacy.
