Monkey D. Jiggy Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 He really is terribly uninteresting. Besides "wears bodypaint sometimes" you can't find a significant amount of any characterization in him. And he plays with LEGO-blocks. And he shoves his crotch in your face from an awkward camera angle during his jacket entrance. But other than that, I've seen more personality from Jason Jordan. The most exciting to happen to Balor recently is when Jinder Mahal stiffed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Balor should be heel. Hes enjoyable as a asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Yeah, he is from what I've seen from him in NJPW. Ideally, I would have him, Gallows and Anderson head over to SmackDown and become a stable or something, maybe even adding in AJ Styles. Speaking of Bullet Club, I gotta feeling we're getting some sort of Shield vs. Bullet Club match here soon, but Gallows and Anderson haven't been booked well enough to look like a major threat, imo.

CROSS-Out Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Balor is a fantastic heel. He can come across as a scummy douchebag and a sadistic menacing monster at the exact same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardd Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Yeah, I think he's the most disappointing hyped-up "big name" to come to WWE. Haven't seen a lot of his work outside of his NXT/WWE career but yeah, bores me to death. I see what people see in Gargano, Ciampa, Hero and even Nakamura (despite being so-so on him atm) based mainly on their NXT/WWE runs but yeah, I don't care for Balor as a main event guy (yet). Maybe he'd be more fun as a heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St★rstruck Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I mean, Bálor's matches over the years may have not been anything "must-watch" or super special - and yes, he may be bland w/o the body paint and stuff, but I think it's hard to deny that Finn has some sort of star quality and presence of a top guy - whether you like him or not.

The Nerd Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I lowkey think people are still going by this you have to be this tall to ride this ride mentality. Not necessarily on here but maybe the casuals? I guarantee if Finn was around 6 feet or so some of the people I see online who complain about him, wouldn't. Just my two cents though.

If that was the case then Balor wouldn't be over at all... and I feel like he's least over with the hardcore fans than the casuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my two cents though.I think the real problem is in since coming to the WWE he's been a face, and to me he is a boring face. The only thing good about face Balor is his Demon half and even then WWE pushes it to the point that they ruin it. He seems like Orton in the sense that he has star power written all over him but not as a face, but as a heel. But as long as they can make money on the demon they most likely won't turn him.

Beardd Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Eh, I'll never get it when people say he has presence (outside of his entrance). When he's in the ring or when he cuts a promo, I don't care to pay much attention. Like I usually stop what I'm doing when Cena's out there and hell, I understand why guys like Reigns and Jeff Hardy have presence despite not wanting to hear them talk either... ...but yeah, Balor being in main events is not something I'm looking forward too. Especially considering how much I've been enjoying RAW's championship scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmVD Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Balor had starpower written on him the moment he walked out and stood next to Hideo. And that was before all the Demon stuff. Just because he can be bland doesn't mean he's not a star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
