Finn Balor on Discusses His Two Dream Opponents for WrestleMania, Explains Spreading the Message of ‘Balor Club Is For Everyone’
– Inside The Ropes recently interviewed WWE Superstar Finn Balor. Below are some highlights (transcript via WrestlingInc.com) and a video of the recent interview.
Finn Balor on who he would pick between The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar as a WrestleMania opponent: “Obviously, the kid Finn Balor wants to face the Undertaker. And obviously time is running out with Undertaker, obviously who knows when his last match is gonna be or what his last match will be. But with what’s on the line with The Beast, [Brock Lesnar], and how long is he gonna be around, we don’t know. Honestly, I’d take either one.”
Balor on wanting to influence people in a positive manner: “I don’t really believe in titles and monikers and stuff like that. I think influencing people in a positive manner, and that may sound a little corny and cliche, but honestly, something in me changed when I won the universal title. Because that was the goal my whole career, was to try to get there and try to win the title. ‘No, you’ll never win the title, you’ll never make it in to WWE, you’ll never be a wrestler, you’ll never be the champion.’ And then finally, all of a sudden, I’m holding the title, and I go, ‘Ah, now I’ve done it. What do I do now?'”
Balor on having the feeling of being champion: “So, I’ve already kinda had that feeling of what it’s like to be champion, and obviously it got snatched away very quickly, but I already made it to the top of the hill. So I’m just trying to meander through my professional career and figure out different ways to spread the positive message. And obviously, the ‘Balor Club For Everyone’ is something I’m very passionate about. I think, we as performers need to use our platform for more good as opposed to just ridiculous self arrogance.”
