They need to change Finn's name/theme to "Bobby's Bitch"

*Lio Rush does the rapping*
Clotheslines bitch, make Finn Balor flip
His MMA's like karate, bitch
We spearing demons, bitch
They say squashing's Lashley's hobby, bitch,
And he's that muscle kid
Pick 'em up and dominate 'em
Makin' Balor look like shit
Bobby's Bitch, oh yeah he's Bobby's Bitch
*Mickie James: Oh you ain't knoooow?*
They call him Bobby's Bitch, he gets no love from Vince
*Mickie James: He's Lashley's hooooooo!*
Bobby's Bitch, oh yeah he's Bobby's Bitch

Seriously, not a good week for Balor.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

I mean...

Finn beat him twice in the past four weeks...

But yeah, twice in two days is a bad look.

Couldn't Mickie have eaten a pin?

[Push R Truth]

Great Pumpkin Finn and Sister Abigail could have been a great mixed team.

Dude needs to go to 205 Live. They want a serious cruiserweight division, but won't put one of their best cruisers on the brand because he's "above" it. Well, that means squat if he's always getting beat up by big dudes. He could have a Neville type run on that brand.

And then leave the company because they won't let him leave it.

By that logic, they may as well do the same with Daniel Bryan. The two are billed as being at the same weight, and have similar "indie darling" cred. What WWE doesn't see, or doesn't appear to see, is that Balor is their Face of the Company - certainly of the Raw brand. If they lose him, they'll be sowing the seeds for another competitor to make inroads in North America and to grow into a threat with him as their face. Balor is too big a name for 205 Live - bigger even that PAC/Neville was.

Since Consensual Penis was shitcanned, nothing this company has done has given me the impression that WWE want a serious cruiserweight division.

205 live seems like a place they want to dump dudes that have no future on the main roster. And there is no way that Finn Balor needs to go to the purple and orange brand. Would you want to wrestle meaningless matches in front of a dead crowd that is waiting for the Smackdown dark match?

Being put on 205 Live would absolutely destroy any chance of him ever being a major player again.

Sadly, it doesn't look he will be anyhow. He's done pretty much nothing on the main roster since returning from his shoulder injury. I legitimately can't name a single memorable feud he's had in two years. He's just there to be a punching bag for whatever big guy they want to push. That's a bigger waste of his talent to me than 205 Live would be.

Daniel Bryan isn't a fair comparison. He's already been cemented as a world beating top guy. He's leagues beyond Balor's status in WWE. Bryan openened and closed the same WrestleMania by beating all of Evolution. I can't even remember if Finn's been on WrestleMania.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not dogging Finn Balor. I think he's cool, and I enjoyed him on NXT. But I want to see him wrestle competitive matches. His current role consists of losing, or almost losing before winning with a lucky rollup and running out of the ring. I'll watch Mustafa Ali vs. Hideo Itami all day over any main roster Balor match, and Finn should be mixing it up with guys like that.

The OP went exactly how I wished. Love it.

Finn did great in the opening IC triple threat this year’s Mania. He debuted the Pride gear there.

And while I do think it’s time to give Finn another shot at the main event, I made this thread mostly because Lashley’s been successful on him recently enough to where I couldn’t get the parody out my head.

does Vince think he's "injury prone"

Probably think he is a vanilla midget?

[BigAl]

also why did they made him not become the demon anymore? It would be a great merchandise seller and I know the young kids would really dig it more if they see him as a demon , so what happened

He became the demon to beat Big Breakfast because lord knows that's when you need it.
