Jeb ★ Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 still? Social media drools over Balor anyway, no need to force it by portraying him as gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I don't like this one bit. there's already gay fans and wreslers all around the world. so to me doesn't make any sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Than Light Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I don't mind the idea of a character that happens to be gay, but I would prefer not to see a gimmick like Orlando Jordan in TNA or Billy & Chuck And shameless pandering is shameless. But Finn is boring af so couldn't care less what they do with his character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muur Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 WWE would make it where he's overly flamboyant lol to the level that it's offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I don't like this one bit. there's already gay fans and wreslers all around the world. so to me doesn't make any sense at all. Of course they have gay fans but thats not necessarily the point of this though. I would like to think they are doing this out of the goodness of their heart and because they want the world to be a better place or whatever, but they just want a better image. The world is progressing and they dont want to be left behind. They want to portray an inclusive environment which in turn, probably opens up room for more sponsors.

RodanTerroroftheSkies Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I'd like to think WWE has come a long way since they days of Billy and Chuck (among other insensitive gimmicks). I'm not sure what being gay would add to the Finn Balor character. Wrestling isn't really conducive to romance, gay or otherwise. I'd be interested in hearing LGBT people weigh in on this one.

Lil' Kazu Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 RIP Velveteen Dream. They also have Sonya Deville who's actually gay. Though I believe on Lilian's podcast she's said she wouldn't want to play a gay character, just a character who happens to be gay. Lol, is she crazy?? A character where the sexual orientation isn't her main feature? Madness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I don't even really care for Finn that much, but this is dumb. Seriously though, what's with her obsession with this kind of character? HHH has the right idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this; along with the performer also being gay in real life; is the best way to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGPLX. Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 My biggest issue is I just don't trust WWE to be able to handle this correctly if they did do it. They have track record of being totally tone deaf when it comes to dealing with sensitive issues and I'd see this being no different if it actually happened. I think it'd be amazing if WWE hired more LGBT wrestlers and/or incorporating more LGBT characters into kayfabe, but once again, only if done correctly.
