“Blaaaaargh.”
“Bleeeehhhhhh.”
Jesus, it’s SO bad. He looks like an absolute tool.
Was this ever not completely goofy?

IMO it at least fits his current heel character, who's supposed to be a goof.

THANK YOU!
He's just a dork wearing makeup, doing silly noises and dances, and has silk streamers tied to his biceps.
The dork demon even painted his own name on his body ahahahaha
Seriously, Finn Balor is cool enough as he is. This thing is the lamest thing in the world.

I don't get the appeal of Finn Balor no matter what, but the Demon is SO. f***ING. BAD.

I think that it 100% doesn’t work in the daylight when he’s swinging his smoke sticks around. lol

I guess some people's inner Demons just aren't as bad as other people's inner Broods?

Someone on The Ringer Wrestling Podcast said it was a little too over-the-top theater kid stuff. I totally agree.
I was explaining The Demon to my girlfriend tonight and she was like “So it’s just Finn Balor wearing paint and he crawls to the ring?”

no! With Bray back, we still have a chance for the Drag Queen Bray Vs Great Pumpkin Balor that we never got!

It really f***ing is. It's always a long crawly entrance with that trademark NXT over-choreography that is a little too planned and a lotta too boring. The look is cool visually in a vacuum. I'd probably like it much more if I were 14 or something, so maybe that's part of it too, but that's about it. At least he wasn't wearing his Judgment Day women's leggings gear tonight.

Honestly this whole feud felt like dorky shit... like there can be endearing fun dorky shit and this just never really hit that
And Balor's demon was pretty much damaged beyond repair after the Roman match where he lost via a rope breaking... funny how everyone said there'd be a huge followup to that and then there wasn't lol

The Demon's always been awesome. True aura shit. yeah looks wise and a lot of hte noises on their own are kinda goofy but the crowd is 100% into it... it;s honestly just something inherently wrestling, |

The Demon is cool as f*** in theory.
I just wish Finn would actually win when he brings it out lol.

I loved the Demon but I always said he should wrestle differently with it. I remember specifically loving it the second time he busted it out against Neville in NXT. He was doing this thing stalking Neville around the ring and was more aggressive throughout. It was cool as hell. Other times, he just wrestled like Finn in paint and it's less cool.

Him getting revived by the Demon spirt against Roman was pretty cool, well until the rope broke for some unexplained reason |

Between BROOD EDGE, the Demon and his magic glowsticks, and the color-coded weapons the whole damn match was impossible to take seriously.
