Would you guys be into that? I would. Attach the undertaker legacy to a new up and comer type deal basically. I mean, they wasted the streak on Brock sooooo......

Would make zero sense. Balor's demon paint is not supernatural. It's more in the style of the Great Muta in that it is Balor dropping all his restraints and adopting a more aggressive and pain resistant style. Normal Finn is the clean cut wrestler (like Keji Mutoh), Balor is an aggressive animal (like The Great Muta).

It would be cool I'd guess but it would be very cheesy since it would require the recasting of the Finn Balor character as a supernatural being.

Maybe he only becomes the demon at undertakers request then? Or command maybe? Almost like Balor has to let the demon out against his own will? No?

That's not how it works. There is no second personality with the demon paint in that sense. It's more like a mask. As Finn said in the mini documentary they did on NXT: "When I put on the paint, I can do anything", (this is a paraphrasing). He's still Finn Balor when under the paint. He just lets go of all his "mental blocks" I guess that allows him to take more punishment.

If we want an heir to the Undertaker WWE needs to build one from the ground up. The Acension had that supernatural vibe originally but we all know how that ended.

Luke Gallows (who played fake Kane) was actually supposed to be the third brother of destruction but that went nowhere. So he became Festus instead.

The original Ascension were vampires. But that lasted about as long as it took for Kevin Cameron to start a drunken fistfight with a Florida cop.

So they were the brood v2 then?


Minus the blood baths, the frilly shirts and Gangrel ofc.

Fun fact: In FCW, where the gimmick started. They were a supernatural mafia stable led by Ricardo fucking Rodriquez. And also included Primo and Eddie Guerrero's daughter.

My opinion I guess. Did Brock really need to break the streak to become legitimized? I mean really
Did the winner need to be legitimized? Taker being beaten is one of the biggest moments in WWE history, and that replay shows a TON of people speechless while someone as legit as Bork Laser is the one getting his arm raised.

He is the biggest draw in UFC history and WWE's biggest draw. How does it not make sense to put it on the guy you KNOW will sell dvds and boxsets regardless of how long his future is.

Alright, touche'. It makes sense in some ways. I just thought it was dumb from a fans viewpoint. It was probably " best for business" though
