Re: Ric Flair says Balor will Never Main Event WrestleMania, also wanted Reigns to beat him on Raw
I probably would've preferred Reigns won, too. Not because I'm a Reigns fan, but because I think Balor is far too mediocre to be in this position. Can't promo, no presence, no charisma, very small and not good enough in the ring to overcome all of that.
Even his supposed gimmick - "The Demon" - is an absolute joke. Nothing about him says "demon". What? Because he puts on body paint every few months? Because he comes out in darkness? Why the fuck is he a demon? If you're gonna have a gimmick you gotta work the gimmick. Balor does not.
Take Neville, as an example. Same problems as Balor - can't promo, no presence, small stature and no charisma, but he can perform magic in the ring, something I've never seen Balor do. And he's also jacked for a small guy. So I can see something there. That's not to say I want Neville to get a main event push (unless it's in the cruiserweight division, where Balor belongs) I'm just using him for comparison purposes.
I realize Balor is very popular and most will disagree with me, I just personally don't see what he brings to the table. But obviously lots of others do and, more importantly his bosses do, too, so he's gonna get the rocket strapped to him. Good for him, good for his fans, but for me, nah, far better talents exist that could be in that spot, IMO.
