* LighterAndSofter: In a way, Bo's gimmick is like a LighterAndSofter version of his brother's gimmick: both are heels who preach to the audience, but while Bray's an AxCrazy cult leader with a mission, Bo's an inspirational moron. Both have a lot of fans in their corner, but Bray's fans actually take him seriously while (as intended), Bo's fans both support him and laugh at him. Both like to push their own creeds, but while Bray delivers his sermons as a mix of metaphors and florid prose, Bo just gives people inspirational messages. And they're both pretty solid opponents, but while Bray's an absolute monster, Bo is ''mostly'' harmless. Unless your name is El Torito.
