Yes, I think he is. Yes, He puts on good matches but outside of them, he just seems...dull. Outside of this Demon character he has in 1/5 matches, his promos are eh to me and he could still work on building himself outside of the Demon Character, guarenteed, I haven't watched NXT before Brooklyn, but I saw enough to know that he's over rated by the crowd atm, no matter how over he is.

I watched NJPW in 2012, He was the leader of the Bullet Club, he was the Gaijin who was changing everything, right now, He's just some regular Irish Guy with a darker side that gets referenced here and there before being brought out for the big match, it's a repetitive thing with Balor that WILL wear out fast.

You're obviously getting angry because I don't like Balor, and think people are overreacting over him.

LOL, nope. I just find it hilarious that you think he's so overrated because he's been getting great reactions from the crowd.
Guess I'll have to stop sucking the guy's dick myself. Damn, he's utter shit. I see it now.

Jesus, You guys are getting worked over a simple discussion....

Tsar, Don't feed the 'Trolls'...Seriously though, If an argument was coming don't feed the argument.

Balor, Respect other's opinions...Seriously, don't get worked up over people opinions over who may or may not be your favourite guy/Flavor of the month/year.

Why are you calling me a troll? Is it because my opinion on this subject is different?

Because, forgive me if I'm wrong, Tsar and I never started insulting each other. It was just a discussion that we happen to not see eye to eye.
I, for one, wasn't offended by anything posted in the thread. If I disagree with something, I'll be respectful about it.

So yeah, I do respect other people's opinions. If I didn't, I would've posted "Bálor is the greatest thing in all of wrestling. Fuck you if you disagree." and I'm not that kinda guy.

People are welcome to disagree with me. Plus, I didn't really get worked up over people disliking Bálor, you just got the wrong impression.

I have to say Fale carrying him out on his shoulders was always cool to see.

Not sure if I should chastise @Forrest OAKADA for backseat modding. Or make him an intern.....

But he is right, please try and keep it civil. Both parties are working themselves up over nothing.

A better reason to stop would be because he's getting chaffed.

Personally I don't think so. I have to agree he's not putting on the matches like the gems he had with Okada, but you're not going to get matches like that often in WWE or NXT.

Balor/Devitt's always been overrated. He's always been hit or miss. NJPW or NXT, it doesn't matter. He was great in **** matches and he was horrendous in DUDs. Especially during a vanilla gaijin run. His problem is he tries to cram in waaay too much stuff into his matches. It backfires. He has no presence. He peaked with Bullet Club creation and run in 2013, both in terms of character work, presence and match quality. Four good/great matches with Tanashi.

Since coming to NXT, I've only seen him in one good match - the most recent one against Owen's, in Brooklyn. Their match from Sumo Hall sucked hairy balls.

Me explaining myself for being called a 'troll' because my opinion on this particular subject is different. lol

Plus, I had to mention, again, that I didn't get worked up over people disliking Finn.

Fergal Devitt practically gave the IWC a facial everyday. He was loved in NJPW lol. NXT has a more vocal community on English speaking sites than NJPW so I'm guessing that's why you didn't notice the hype before.
I personally like Neville, because I loved his days as Pac in Japan and around the indy's. Plus the guy has a pretty crazy moveset. But aside from that, his Twitter pre-WWE is the greatest thing.

I enjoyed his run in NXT, wasn't a huge fan of him as PAC if I'm being honest (much more of a Ricochet fan for that style of wrestling) however since he's been called up his matches haven't flowed at all well. He's devalued his moveset so much.
