Finn Balor debut as a pro in 2001 and is 43 years old , and the WWE just gave him a new 5 years deal his robbing WWE clean
Tbh for 43 years old he looks great physically. The dudes cut up like hell but yeah I agree I'm not a huge fan of him as the main heel of this faction. Promo wise he just doesn't do it for me
They paid him good money out of the fear that he'd go to AEW and headline an episode of Collision with Roderick Strong.
@@thejanglezclan 😂
😂😂@@thejanglezclan
probably the best worker in the business..he deserves it
Finn just signed a new deal for 5 more years for more money. I'm sure he, along with the rest of the WWE roster, can give a rats ass what Russo thinks about them.
No they probably don't care, but that's their loss. Let's face it, they're all midcarders with no charisma who get an occasional title match and nothing more.
@@TheNextStep851 Midcarders making 7 figures that wasn't even heard of during the attitude era....I'll take that, I don't see Finn complaining because if that was the case he wouldn't had resigned. You're giving Russo too much credit.
@@GeDiction223 7 figures or not, they're still midcarders who will always be midcarders.
I give Russo the credit he deserves. He knew how to make stars. He wrote the shows and gave the stars the material to shine. It wasn't until he was writing that Austin, Rock and Foley became full-fledged main event stars with crossover appeal. Without him we don't get midcarders instantly looking like main event stars on their debut such as Kane, Jericho and Big Show. Those were his ideas.
@TheNextStep851 Actually, he was gonna destroy the whole Undertaker vs. Kane storyline before it even began. He wanted Taker to come out and chokeslam Kane through a table the night after Badd Blood. Vince Russo had ideas, but you had a Vince Mcmahon there to tell him, "No, let's do it another way." That's why when he began writing for WCW or even TNA, it did nothing because he didn't have anyone higher than to tell him, "No." Austin, Rock, and Mick was just being themselves. That's what got them over. As for as today's like I said, these midcarders are making 7 figures. It's nothing wrong with being a "role player." Everyone can't be in the main event. Obviously, they are fine where they are at.
@@GeDiction223 There it is. You listened to Cornette and parroted his story verbatim lol. I'm shocked at this brand new (false) information. Ironically, you're taking the word of the guy who couldn't get anybody over when he was booking.
A movie can have a great cast but if the writing/direction sucks then the movie sucks. This is what happened with WWF in 1993-1996 and 2001-2005. Why is it that the ratings peaked when Russo was there and not afterwards when the roster got even better?
He improved Nitro's ratings by 0.8 in less than 3 months when he was fully in charge during his first run. In TNA, their ratings were improving each year and peaked at over 2 million viewers in 2011. Once he left they declined each year. If he's so bad at his job then why were the ratings not at their peak without him? In fact why weren't they even going up without him?
Bro Finn was way over before the judgement day especially the demon what is this guy talking about bro it's not his fault they focused on Rhea,Damian and Dom Finn was way over than any of them
@@romerocharite5607 I agree that was more over than Priest but not Rhea and Dom sorry can't give you that lol
Can you use punctuation please.
Also, you young fans have no idea what ‘over’ looks like.
Solo Sequoia ? What, is he a tree now ?
😂
The longer Judgment Day lasted, the more and more damaged Finn Balor became. Now, he's Damian Priest's top rival merely by default because the group also couldn't get Carlito or JD McDonagh over either.
Carlito doesn't need Judgment Day. He is already one of the best characters in WWE.
True. He deserves a better run.
Nia and Tiffany will be Nia ("The Queen") abusing/taking advantage of Tiffany ("The Princess"). Nia taking her for granted, ordering her around, talking down to her, etc... gaining sympathy for Tiffany until the cash in.
He has never been over ever since he came to the main roster.
I've always found him to be boring all his moves are what Seth does and Seth does it better with more moves Finn has always been boring to me.
@@DensilGrant i think seth is boring..wins every match he is in and a terrible seller
Solo sikoya is more over than finn balar, bro.
Solo Sikoya!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
You're over if WWE says you're over. People are brainwashed to believe Solo and this new bloodline is over 😂
Jacob futu is but I don't see the rest of them
The only non bias take on wrestling! Bro no Shills here!
It's sad how they ruined Balor. Dude was over af when he got to the main roster and then he got injured and they did absolutely bugger all with him from there on so of course he won't be over. Even when they did push him they made him look weak. Look at his feud with Seth and Edge two of The biggest feuds in his wwe career and throughout both those feuds they made him look like a joke and then he lost. It'll be no different with Priest. It's hard as a Balor fan to see how he's been treated over the years but at least bros making big bank so there's that🤷🏻♂️he probably makes more cash than alot of dudes who gets pushed more than him.
Carlito has always been a great character.
"Vince Russo better watch out, Backstabber Balor is about"
Dr Chris asked a lot of good questions here 🫡
All this guy has in his background is pictures of himself 😂😂
Notice how none of the ideas Russo pitches impresses the other commentator dude is to far removed to know whats entertaining.
Man, out of all the various podcasts and interviews that I’ve watched, I’ve never seen anybody have more pictures of themselves than Vince does.
And never mind some bad takes, like we’ve never seen a heel take on big face? (regarding Finn/Priest)
Or the idea of people having an idea where Liv/Dom/Rhea was going being bad. Not everything has to be a swerve, sometimes a story that follows logic is sufficient when you care about the characters.
Fin balor is what makes regular people that used to watch become uninterested. The divas wrestling is garbage, nobody with a life cares, then you got Feminine Fin. 120 pound, 5 foot tall, wears paint and becomes a "zombie", shit has always been trash. Let him go to aew with the rest of the cruiserweights. Shit sucks when he is on tv. Wtf he have a match with Edge in a Hell in The Cell for? Like who tf cared. It's disturbing when they put Balor on tv. They need to bring a light Heavyweight belt back or get rid of the guy. It all sucked.
Finn Balor was buried as soon as he returned from that injury in 2016, Finn is a great talent. Demon King Finn is awesome we finally get that with heel Finn they tried to ruin it with Edge, Finn was a heel back than too but he's an even more heel now after what he did to Priest, but as for Tiffany Stratton she will cash in on Charlotte Flair when she return and beat Nia for that WWE Champion and Nia will end up turning on Tiffany sooner than later after that.
Vince is 100% right
go look at his entrances pre judgment day..he was over..judgment day has kinda hurt his character
Dude Nia and Tiffy has just started, it's a long game. You guys are talking about they haven't done anything? Dude give them some time. Chris and Russo are a lost cause. Extremely negative guys
This is Russo the king of Hot shotting ofc he gets bored after two weeks.
@@theboxingboy7422 yeah man, I mean seeing the state of this guy, I can't comprehend how was he successful in the attitude era
@@random_vat hot shitting titles is what made WWE so entertaining in the past and unpredictable to watch. Who wants to sit through three months of stagnant television just to have a big pay off at a PLE. With Triple H booking there’s no reason to watch raw or SmackDown just skip right to the PLE because you won’t miss much.
If you're impatient with somebody that has a 1-year expiration on a title shot contract, I'm not sure what to tell you.
@@random_vat He had fail-proof talent like The Rock and Stone Cold in their prime at the exact same time along with other all-time characters like Undertaker, Kane, Triple H, Mick Foley. He's, almost objectively, the luckiest person to ever be involved in the inner workings of professional wrestling.
Judgment Day sucks and should go to AEW
This is brosome!
I agree
Russo just talks out of his ass, that's all he's ever done throughout his career and he's possibly the luckiest man in the history of the business because he had much better writers around him in one of the best periods in wrestling that actually had experience and knew what they were doing unlike him. Everyone can give Tony Khan all the shit they want for his booking but at least the guy's not gonna book himself and a celebrity to win the World Title because he knows he needs to stick to promoting and he's not a gigantic egomaniac like Russo was in WCW, which by 2000 was already a shitshow before he came in and made it downright unwatchable for so many people, so it's no wonder he doesn't see any value in people like Finn Balor because they're actually talented.
Russo was one of two writers in 1998-1999. This has been confirmed already. It's like there are an endless line of haters who are just desperate to discredit him for everything good and credit him for everything bad.
Also for the record he improved Nitro's ratings and oversaw TNA's ratings peak in 2011.
Talent without carisma
You don't!!!!!!!
Why are these two so negative towards everything that WWE? LMAOOO
They love indie shit shows, they don't like storylines, they love random flippy matches that'll make them cream in their pants.
Because the WWE product is boring and predictable.
Because it pays. Most RUclipsrs do that shxt now.
@@danielburger1775PREDICTABLE for sure, unfortunately...
Because wrestling today is TRASH and MEDIOCRE at best. #ItsOkToExpectBetter
He is doing better In last 3 weeks
D
Man this is one hell of a bad take. You peaked in the attitude era and then ruined wcw "bro" ! Holy hell you've lost your mind Russo.
How did he ruin WCW if he was getting more people to tune in than were initially watching when he got there?
Vince is the worst. I’m so happy WWE got rid of him.
🤡
They didn't get rid of him. He left to go and work for WCW behind McMahon's back, and then he left in 2002 to go and work for TNA.
