2015 Sephzilla was kinda on point

I don't doubt that Balor is making good money in NXT and I imagine Balor will be called up within a year. I'm still worried Vince is going to ruin Balor's "demon form" though. If I was running the main roster here's probably what I would do in order to get Demon Balor over though.

Have him debut around SummerSlam time and have him stay as normal Balor until Royal Rumble. Have him find out he drew either #1 or #2 for the Royal Rumble and say that he needs dig deeper to pull out a win. Then debut Demon Balor at the Rumble and have him win.

My Demon debut would have been way more hype than Seth screaming DEMON KING for 5 minutes

Demon was already ruined with the headdress

you were already ruined with the headdress!

 

[Beefy]

Vince ruins everything

 

[Heroman]

Demon form was never good however it it will make Finn a lot of money.

 

[Sephzilla]

The whole demon thing would have been awesome if he only busted it out like once or twice a year, it wasn't expected beforehand, and had a different finisher and personality with it. Even in NXT, he was using the demon too much

Nothing wrong with a demon superhero in a show for children.

[Hasney]

That does explain a lot

 

[Beefy]

Tbf worshipping Satan is probably better then some of the religions about now. Scientology and shit like that.

 

[Rhaknar]

dont make me dig up the first Takeover he did the entrance at, because I bet there would be a lot of familiar faces there marking out over that entrance.

Not I hoohoo

oh I just went through them, I can already tell you there were about 50 posts of "best entrance of the year"

i'm not gonna point any fingers tho

also half a moon and OwensIsNow weren't born back then

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

The demon paint worked better as a special thing ala Wreslte Kingdom

This gif is still great.

I THOUGHT WE WERE THE PAINTED WEIRDOS WASTELAND

 

[Hex]

Fuck Demon King and his stupid headdress

Let's be real, it is probably time for a new action figure line refresh plus it is nearly Halloween costume marketing time so they have to put Demon Balor out there again to push sales.
His costume will sell like crazy, the mop head will sell and then he will be shelved again for a while.
Think larger picture, merch and timing.

That was actually Carnage.

This one still hasn't been topped

 

[sora87]

After the G1 i just can't get hyped for Summerslam, i'm expecting 10 minute matches with fuckery endings galore

 

[Bronx-Man]

late to the party on this, but here's my tepid take:

if you think wrestling is garbage right now you're a miserable bastard who insists on only hate watching wwe and it's your fault

.

 

[half a moon]

Does SS have a unique set? When there gonna be leaks mang

 

[jmdajr]

Between GOT, DBS, and WWE, there should be some good battles this Sunday.

 

[Sephzilla]

yep.

WWE is garbage, wrestling is not

 

[Brian_FETO]

yep.

WWE is garbage, wrestling is not

^*^*^*^*^*^*^

 

[imBask]

WWE represents wrestling for most people, and i'ts garbage. Most people don't want to watch wrestling they wanna watch the show they always loved and want it to be good

it's just semantics

 

[half a moon]

WWE isn't that bad.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

yep.

WWE is garbage, wrestling is not

.

 

[Heroman]

WWE isn't that bad.

It just mediocre which is worse.

 

[jmdajr]

WWE is probably just fine if you haven't watched in a long time.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

That was actually Carnage.

Whatever the name was, the way he did this was better than how WWE is doing it. There is zero build to this alternative persona

 

[Beefy]

Heroman is the worse

 

[slightconfuse]

People are fake

Wreslting is real

 

[Brian_FETO]

WWE was in a better place last year when half of their roster was injured and they had to actually try to make it work

 

[Hasney]

WWE is probably just fine if you haven't watched in a long time.

There's probably something better on though

 

[Foggy]

Reika Saiki keeps getting better and better every time I see a match of her, I'm definitely a fan

She's incredibly promising that's for sure. She just needs to keep getting experience and she'll blow up.

 

[Draxal]

to be honest, i'm pretty lukewarm about workrate these days.

Watching Meltzer flipflop between loving the G1 and then complaining about how the wrestlers are injured is all silly to me.

edit. Benoit's death really soured me on being a pure workrate fan.

 

[Foggy]

Wrestling and injuries go hand in hand. You might as well be watching good wrestling.

Man, there are much more provocative things you can lay at the foot of Benoit's death ahead of workrate.

 

[Hasney]

Yeah, it's not workrate. It's "Use your head, don't use your head".

...as a weapon

 

[Conrad Link]

Demon king

Where are you demon Kang

Honestly, thats all I think now when I hear about the 'demon' Balor, Seth ruined him lol.

But oh well, I'm so down on WWE I don't think it would matter either way. Vince has made sure of that.

 

[Draxal]

Benoit is 100% a result of CTE but he was easily the best worker in the 90s in the west.

I've said in the past that watching the documentary about Foley's wife watching Rock nail him in the head a billion times in the head, chased me away from the WWE earlier, and Benoit's death kept me away even further.

I'm not condemning anyone for watching NJPW, its just I find Meltzer hilarious in that regard.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Yeah, it's not workrate. It's "Use your head, don't use your head".

...as a weapon

use your head as a fucking weapon

 

[FallingEdge]

The nerds in this channel turned on Balor and his demon transformation. Can't say I'm surprised. Why would you not advertise this for SummerSlam? Makes sense to.

 

[Heroman]

Yeah no, there is a whole Generation of wreslter and athletes who have or had CTE and none of them did anything close to what Benoit did. Did it play a part in it sure but to say it was the causes I doubt it.

And to Dave point, that how he just how he is.

 

[Bronx-Man]

In a year, Balor went from first-ever Universal Champion to jobbing to Bray Wyatt clean. If it weren't for all the BALOR CLUB merch WWE keeps pumping out, he'd be Irish Bayley.
