I'm a fan of his. I saw him live last year when the WWE came to the O2 in London. His entrance is so much more amazing live. It would be great to have him as Universal Champion again. I wish him a speedy recovery.

i really like Balor... He needs be doing a little more on the mic in WWE though, because he can but he's not & people will interpret that as him not having any mic skills.

Also would like to see him as a heel. As far as in ring goes, mediocre? Come on, I'm not even going to answer that because if you know what you're looking at you have eyes and you can see for yourself.

Not into the Demon King stuff though... like at all, he was fine without it.

I think he's alright, demon king gimmick is awesome, he's a great wrestler with lots of charisma and...you know...he founded one of the most popular indie factions of all time ( that would ultimately bring us the Canadian wrestling god or as the mortals know him, Kenny the cleaner). However his mic skills could use a little work Hopefully he doesn't get injured again because I'm fully behind a Balor super push.

This. This I agree with. :obama:

I think people put too much pressure on his mic skills when he hasn't really even gotten a chance to improve (injuries suck). I think when he is back he will show people what's what. :tough:

One of my favorites. Ever since I learned about him, seen him wrestle, seeing his character (demon and non-demon), I've in awe.
His gimmick of being a demon is really, really freaking awesome. He plays it so well, amazingly. One of my dream bookings/hopes is to have him be the one to retire Undertaker. "The Demon vs. The Deadman", just imagine that. It would also do wonders for his career, signifying him as this era's "Undertaker". (No one will ever top/come close to the impact Taker had, though)


Overall, I am hyped for his return and it will generally make me more interested in RAW. If everything goes alright, and planned correctly, I can see RAW contending with SD Live (not soon, but sometime in the future).

I think I should reiterate my comment...

When I said I didn't like the Demon King I meant only the name.... not his demon gimmick with the paint... I just hate the name "demon king" it's silly

I'm just throwing this out there, I do think the Demon King gimmick is stupid. I'm not going to shit on Finn for it since I like him (kinda) and I'm not going to shit on anyone who likes it, just I personally find it silly. If it was just him painting himself up like a badass, I would love it, but WWE trying to pull off the whole split personality thing just turns me off, especially since I think the paint job and accessories are pretty dumb too
