Maybe I'm getting old and out of touch, but I don't see the big deal about Finn Balor. He comes across as corny, and I don't think he's really that unique in the ring. The whole Demon thing doesn't appeal to me, but I'm not the market that it should be appealing to so whatever.

I prefer Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens to him. They should be in his spot. They're gonna push this guy down everyone's throats, and it'll eventually lead to a backlash.

I think he pretty much needs to win on Sunday with the way they've been pushing this whole thing. If he comes out as the demon and loses his first match as it, it's a waste. If the plan was for him to lose to Rollins they should've had him wrestle as regular Finn Balor at SummerSlam and then when he loses, he decides that he needs to bring it out to beat Rollins. And if that would basically end up putting over both guys.

I guess that would make too much sense though.

Backlash usually comes from vocal smarks, who Finn has in his pocket. Casuals will either rock with it or just stop watching.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
This shyt is so lame, prancing around like a stripper with a bunch of belts dangling from his head is supposed to be intimidating just because he's got on sp000ky bodypaint while doing it? Calling him "Demon King" too. :mjlol:

@Da King get in here and make fun of this corny shyt with me.

His entrance is definitely very homoerotic

Are we positive he's straight in real life?

Some of the snarks were already turning on him in nxt... Doesn't have the promo skills and tries to have a personality by applying paint but pretty much wrestling the same match with or without paint

Dope entrance, shame the crowd during the fight seemed quiet
Probably would have saved it for Summerslam but I guess they had to get on the flagship show

Also Demon King is as unnecessary of a branding as the Vigilante was for Sting
