Haven't seen it yet, but hot damn, his theme's pretty damn awesome now I've heard it in full. Definitely get some Muse vibes off it, kinda sounds a bit Hysteria-y at parts, and the orchestral bits in the background are great.

I loved how they played it up to and had kayfabe explanantions for it. Like Hideo being nonchalant cause it's a thing to have insane entrances in Japan but everyone else just went "WHAT THE f***??" while the commentators went "maybe its mind games"

Loved it. The paint, the dreads, the Symbiote style crawl, it was fantastic.

I'm a total sucker for spectacle. It was very Hardy'ish, and he even used several of Jeff's moves, but still, that was awesome.

I figured he was going to break that kind of stuff out every now and then. But getting all that crap on is probably such a pain in the butt that he'll save it for special events like big PPV matches.

Even Itami doesn't get it. Itami: I'm just the junior partner who takes all the bumps and gets bailed out when I'm in over my head. Don't ask me.

They even incorporated it into his first official shirt, which I quite like by the way:

I bet The Dust Busters are looking for Balor's paint guy to find out how the hell he gets the paint to stay on for the whole match.
Also, good on Itami for getting an attire that incorporates his old colour scheme from Japan (yellow and brown).

Surely WWE cant stop him from becoming a massive star? the guy has it all. Finn might not be the next guy to get the call, but he'll be the most successful of the current crop I imagine. I'd personally consider Rollins and Ambrose to be around Balor's level. I'm not even joking with that statement. Actually I recall reading that WWE intends to fast track both Balor and Itami to the main roster-whatever thst means. I'm guessing they will both spend about a year in NXT and the make the jump, possibly even less.

LOL that shrug of Itami's needs to be a reaction gif. What's up with Finn? The yo-yo booking of the divas division? The cosmic key storyline? The anonymous GM again? *Itami shrugs*

That t-shirt will sell shitloads. Proving, again, there is absolutely NO impetus to get Jeff Hardy back. Finn is the more talented, non-drug addicted version.

It was awesome. I like the theme itself as it kind of reminds me of Paranoid Android by Radiohead.

Did he do a comic book paint job? He had the Venom/Carnage walk that was cool. I was waiting for one of the announcers to make a Carnage reference, but realized that Matt Striker's been future endeavored long ago. (didn't stop the crowd from starting a 'Marking Out Bro!' chant at Balor's entrance, though!)

Obnoxious. His entrance and the paint. Completely overshadowed his partner, too.

Between Bayley's inflatable tube men, Alexa's glitter blowing, and Finn Balor's paint-NXT is setting new standards for creative entrances.
