    That pop! They really made him look like the star that he is. Looking forward to hearing him on the mic now. He just does all the little things so well, and his theme song is awesome (probably one of the best WWE themes in quite a while).

    Yeah they did.

    I watched camera phone footage of this weeks ago but got goosebumps watching it edited together all the same. Doing the shakey cam, Michael Bay editing stuff on workers who can move fast seems a bit overkill but that's the deal I suppose.

    The WWE/NXT sound production is massively disappointing they sweetened the reaction to the point the MONSTER pop was totally levelled down. Some who was there DM'd on Twitter his disappointment. The Youtube clip was faithfully to what it sounded like live. I know camera phone footage can make things sound louder than they are but the reaction was genuinely huge live.

    I noticed the audio tinkering. You probably couldn't create that sound naturally in that building as it's too small. The added crowd noise sounds like it was lifted from an arena show.

    His profile is up on WWE.com:
    http://www.wwe.com/superstars/finnbalor

    He's correctly billed from Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. WWE being WWE I feared Dublin, Ireland.

    From his profile
    What Finn Bálor has planned for the future is a mystery, but one thing is clear: the future starts with him.

    NICE!

    He is in such a good position to be honest. Already being but over as an absolute beast, that WWE.com profile is very much "This is our guy" type of writing, doesn't drink much, consummate professional, great ability and and a great look. Hard to see him not being a multi-time world champion to be honest.

    Only thing is he's a bit small, so he'd have to reach Daniel Bryan type levels of being over to be considered by current hierarchy.

    Nah, Daniel Bryan never had "The look" to be fair. Balor (feels weird saying that) has a great face and a great body. Plus he is a Triple H signing. Can't see him not doing well.

    So you're point about him not being pushed because he is a Triple H signing is Sin Cara? That's like saying the reason an orange isn't included in a salad is because it's not a tomato. Sin Cara fcuked up his run in WWE, not Triple H. And Sin Cara had plently of chances to become a big guy in the company but HE failed every time. Can't imagine Balor being anywhere near that botchy.

    Regal says Balor is 'Demon King' as Gaeilge. Is it really?

    It's more like Balor was king of a demon like race, not that it literally translates to demon king.

    No my point is just because he's a HHH signing won't make much of a difference. It's all down to himself at the end of the day.

    .... I never made the point that it wasn't down to him. You said he would have to work as hard as Daniel Bryan to get any reignition from the current hierarchy, I made a different point. You don't get handed much in WWE, you need some level of talent. I'm just saying Devitt has all the tools to be a multiple-time World Champion

    Edit: But being a Triple H signing will definitely mean he will get a big push when he does move up to the main roster.

    I'd be amazed if Devitt doesn't win the strap at least once.

    Devitt v Steen, Devitt v Orton, Devitt v Ambrose, Devitt v Rollins. So many sick feuds.

    Exciting times for Irish wrestling fans.

    It can't hurt to have a good write up on WWE.com but it's worth noting that Vince doesn't pay too much attention to whats posted on .com & social-media. Joey Styles is head of that. Vince couldn't give a ****.
