ity2:I'm not sure if any of you swell people remember my thread from a while ago about this topic, a lot has changed since then... except for Balor. No character development, no character, just smiling.... smiling only. He is so boring and stale he can wrestle but he neeedsmore:emoji_slight_frown: do I think Balor is still overrated? no.. because now everyone has realized how mediocre he is, hes vanilla
:
He has one. It's just not spelt out in big capital letters.non-existent storyline

Actually, scratch that. He doesn't have one. My mistake. He has a backstory and a character arc, he just needs a storyline.Very possible that I haven't been paying close enough attention.
Why on earth would we need a character whose gimmick is wrapped up in their sexuality or gender? That sounds incredibly bland. Quite frankly I don't see wearing a rainbow as a particularly deep character. Besides, if his entire gimmick is "yay, LGBTQ power!", what do you think will happen whenever he loses? Bad press whenever some moron columnist decides WWE is promoting discrimination or some crap. I'm all for giving Balor a more intriguing character, but putting him in a dress or having him hold hands with Seth Rollins won't add compelling depth to his character.I love the LGBTQ gear and slogan. I heard a rumor that they were planning to write him as a non-stereotypical gay character and I think that would be pretty amazing.
Oh I totally agree that him being a gay character should not be the whole story. That would be shallow and dumb even within WWE standards.Why on earth would we need a character whose gimmick is wrapped up in their sexuality or gender? That sounds incredibly bland.

LGBTQ people wrestling is fine and dandy. Basing their gimmicks off such an identity is another. I need a better reason to care about someone than what they picture in their wet dreams.
Agreed, it wasn't the point I was trying to make at all.Finn Balor being gay wouldn't make him any more interesting tbh
