The "Polarizing" has mostly do w/ his social media usage. Haven't seen
Note: Meant to directly reply to the "Polarizing" post above.
a high school kid market himself quite like Bo.
Expectedly, Bo will also have his critics as his popularity rises and he is seemingly everywhere in wrestling social media world.
His family caught some flak for the Iowa decommitment, but I think that was more of the existing Bo critics using that for ammo. To be fair, most of the college wrestling world took some joy out of the decommitment, because it negatively impacted TnT and Iowa.
Bo comes across very well in interviews and even neutrals have to admit is relentless style is fun to watch.

Bo is the most mature high school interview for an athelete I've ever seen.
