Finn "Prince Devitt" Bálor Thread (Raw Spoilers ahoy!)

rovert

My buddy's blog dug up this match:

Via: http://freewrestling.wordpress.com/2005/11/12/fergal-devitt-vs-osirus-from-mwf-2005/

The match got off to a slow start. Neither man could get firm control. Osirus hit a dropkick and seemed to be on the verge of a comeback. Devitt cut him off with a beautiful dropkick. Osirus tried to get the fans into a comeback, but then just went for a cross armbreaker. Devitt avoided it and applied a knee bar (I believe). Fergal dragged him to the center of the ring, and Osirus tapped out.

This match is only for Fergal Devitt fans who want to see a very early match of his. If that alone does not interest you (as it did me), I do not recommend this match for viewing. Devitt showed promise as an athlete here for sure, but I’m not sure Osiris was much of a talent based on this match. I’d be curious to learn whatever happened to him though.

Said it before I thought Devitt was good but nothing WWE would hire back. The US general was a no go due to Visas. He fell on his feet to an extraordinary degree when New Japan spotted him. Sheamus was aggressively boring to me. Rebecca Knox (quite you) was the sizzle and had the highest prospects of the three.

Devitt upper body was already really good for an Indy guy here.

Devitt the biggest bad ass in the room:



Obviously Devitt and Albert in the front.

In the middle Tiger Hattori - legendary New Japan referee, Devitt's translator and powerbroker/office person

the back New Japan's Tama Tonga and his brother ex-WWE's Camacho and Tonga & Camacho's father HAKU/MENG

He is really implying strongly the paint is staying on his Twitter this weekend:

Not a huge fan myself but whenever it is referenced online it REALLY gets people's interest and motivation. Obviously that's most of the battle for a Wrestler.

Recieved my refund on the Devitt Prince is Dead t-shirt after opening a dispute through Paypal. Suppose that is an admission from Supplex Wrestling/Apparel/Media that they never posted it in the first place. Have been ordering stuff online from Britain for nearly ten yeara and have never had anything get lost in the post.

Was looking forward to the shirt and all.

I've yet to hear anything back since aug 14th when they offered me a refund. So far they've ignored three mails a direct mail on twitter and tweets. Think it's too late now to raise a dispute too on paypal not sure what to do now?

Is it not 90 days after that you can make a claim? On mobile here so can't check. A claim is where PP make a judgement on the case. I only opened a dispute and Suplex issued the refund without challenging it

If you have Twitter, bring it up there. They can't like negative publicity.

I unsubscribed from their email list and left them a snotty message when their site asked why I didn't want their emails anymore.

Out of curiosity, how long is it normally until a signing like this hits the screen?

I'm pretty sure it varies, and no matter how good the wreslter was for other companies, it doesn't mean they will be a straight to main roster in WWEs opinion.

So for devitt, it could be a few months to a couple of years. I personally hope they take their time and come up with something very good for him as I dont want him to be fecked up from the minute he appears on RAW.

There's an Irish TV Fergal Devitt documentary in the works?

Are you asking me or telling me?!

Deadly if there is one in the way from one of the terrestrial stations. Would much rather him represent wrestling in Ireland and Irish wrestlers than the other fella.

Mark Dallas said it on Colt's podcast this week. Dallas is the promoter of ICW - home promotion of Grado. BBC are making a follow up documentary on ICW and ICW may get a TV deal for their Wrestling shows. In all that he mentioned that an Irish broadcaster was working on a Devitt documentary. The documentary team were filming at Devitt's ICW appearances.

Ape Lincoln

Cool. Hadn't listened to Colt's podcast.

"Irish broadcaster" may mean TV3 after the success of McGregor's fight. Can't see RTE touching him just yet all due respect of course.

I meant the pre Raw / Smackdown shows. NXT? Is it a similar time scale (months) until he is expected to hit tv land there?

Oh I hope it's RTE.

Soft Falling Rain

Fergal seems genuinely humbled and eager to learn in that video. Those traits seem to be key in making it so he'll be grand.

Palo Alto

I hope so, although you see weird cases like Cesaro getting buried now for reasons completely unknown.

Ron Burgundy ?? I have not heard of one being done. Its one i would like to see.

Hashtag_HEEL

The McGregor doccumentary on RTÉ was fantastic. I hope it's the same crowd doing it. Could be really interesting.

MightyMighty737

What's icw? I know a guys working on a wrestling in Ireland documentary who had a sit down interview with him during some of his appearances here before he went to the States. Last I heard Devitt isn't the main focus but rather a contributor to the overall picture.

Eire-Dearg

It'd be unusual for RTE/TV3 not to hint at stuff they're working on.

Could be an independent production that hope to sell it off to RTE or TV3 when complete.

Ah okay. Wouldn't be the guys I know. They interviewed him in ireland.

p90airsofter

go to ronanmccloskey.com/cv/

He mentions an upcoming show about Devitt. I think Reality Bites are the same crowd thet made McGregor's doc.

Eire-Dearg

He's brilliant.

He did the Fit Finleys doc and also I believe Colin and Graham's Excellent Adventures, don't know if anyone remembers that on RTE a few years ago, very enjoyable little series.

Reebrock

Very much looking forward to a Devitt documentary. Checking the above link, some of it seems to be filmed in Japan as well.
