Finn Balor is going to be money. Its great he is going to start wearing his make up again.
I wonder if he will do it just for PPVs or all his matches. The guy is going to be a huge star the WWE better not fuck him up.
He could be called up Monday and be one of the top guys on the roster.

He has what Vince wishes Reigns had.

Bálor is a guy who just gets it. He gets what he's doing and he makes it feel huge at the right moments. This is a guy with a real skill for not only the in-ring stuff, but also for making everything feel like it matters. That's something that will be priceless for the WWE in years to come.

Here's the thing:

My gf has never seen this guy ever. She's heard me talk about him for awhile though. How long WWE has been trying to sign him, his indy background... everything. She just thought I was being a wrestling nerd. I told her to sit down and watch this NXT special and when his entrance came she was completely, and I mean completely blown away. She was sold on this guy 100%. She had to watch the entrance 3 or 4 times, then sent me on a YouTube search for him, and then wanted to hear his theme again just to playfully do his theatrics. This guy is MONEY.

Imagine the bigger WWE audience seeing this guy. Balor was made for WWE and Wrestlemania.

If they want him to be, he could be THE top guy in WWE. He has the look, but he also has the presence, the skills and the charisma. Plus the entire fanbase love him; smarks, kids (for the paint) and girls. He has everything.

People compare him to Jeff Hardy, which is unfair in terms of skill level (Balor a much more polished wrestler and performer) but it could be accurate in terms of the way he connects with fans and the silent, physical charisma he has.

I enjoyed the match and his performance but God damn, wearing facepaint and crawling around isn't a special skill, remember this?



Again, I enjoyed the presentation but people talking about how he's some sort of new megastar and face of the company, come on.

And this:
He has what Vince wishes Reigns had.
WTF? :lmao

:maury

If you ever saw him in the Indies you would think differently about the facepaint part of his gimmick.

He he easily be the face of the company, he has the talent for it but of course he doesnt have the size which is ironic because NXT shows size does not matter.
NXT has much smaller guys but their product and matches are way better than what the WWE is doing with bigger guys.

The facepaint stuff only does not work IF you can't back it up with wrestling and Balor can do that in spades.

Its a joke you would even try to compare Balor to someone like the boogyman who couldn't work his way out of a wet paper bag.

His entrance alone is just so bad ass and unique, i mean its like Undertaker's entrance he always had that unique entrance that no one else had. I mean name one guy on the roster that has an entrance like his? He's already set apart from everyone else with just his entrance, now add in the body paint the amazing in ring work, dude's definitely got a bright future ahead of him.

Whenever Balor steps through that curtain, painted or not, you can see he is a star. He has loads of charisma, despite him not being amazing on the mic. He knows how to wrestle, he is good looking and has the ideal body for someone of his size. I don't see how he wouldn't become a main event talent in the future.

I'm also glad that the paint didn't rub off like it does when he wrestles in the UK.

my guess is a more expensive paint :) since he wouldn't want to lose money doing an event. With the way the future is looks like we will have more normal sized guys wrestle rather than freaks Nevile,Itami,Bryan,Ziggler,Seth,Dean,Sammi,Balor,Owen,Graves Look at all that talent that's 4/5 matches you can make on a PPV with TOP talent.

Balor is fucking money and like has already been said he could be called up on Monday and he'd knock it out of the park. I hope he doesn't sit in NXT for too long because he belongs on the main roster and he is for sure a future WWE WHC.

His entrance makes him stand out even more than he already does with his great look, cut body and oozing of charisma. So fucking excited to see how far he can go.

So his T shirt is already sold out, his entrance got rave reviews from official backstage. Yeah, this guy is going to make it BIG. The merch sales alone will get him over with Vince. Also remember that the network launch overseas has been a disaster. Having a potential legit main even European star will win a lot of those people over.

He's Jeff hardy with in ring ability and a better look. It's really that simple. His look, gimmick, charisma and showmanship are so through the motherfucking roof that it wouldnt matter if he had even worse mic skills than Curtis Axel. Lock this one down folks. Dont let anti indy and big man marks and the people that think Vince McMahon and Kevin hate everyone not named John Cena and Roman Reigns sway you. This guy is going to be FUCKING MONEY.

The makeup is most likely just for PPV. They take a long time to put on, and with how NXT tapes 4 shows at a time, he'll sweat off the make up.

He also changes it up a lot, so having the same makeup for 4 shows is probably not what he wants to do.

Oh, on Finn Balor: he's immensely talented, and I think he's got a marketable look that WWE should bank on. Bright future.

I'm with the detractors right now. Impressive entrance but I just don't get the make up cos play. It's like the bunny it just isn't for me. I also thought he, Itami and the Ascension had a pretty mediocre match. It happens but it isn't enough to instill in me that Balor will easily transition to the E. The verdict is still out but what I saw tonight wasn't completely mark worthy.

Owens on the other hand...

He's got a lot of potential to be a big star in the main roster. He's a very attractive guy so he'll win over women, the face paint makes him look like a god damn super hero, and his style will make kids a fan, and the hardcores already know what this guy is capable of.

Exactly why Vince will book him like a super geek when he gets to the main roster. Hell, he's probably going to give Cena the face paint too.
