WWE Musings

What’s Up, Enthusiasts! So, I would have to say the high point of yesterday evening was RAW ’s light teasing of the demon that lies within. It was quite impressive.   Kudos to the set and lighting directors because they set a palpable tone yet, will Finn Bálor be able to step up to the set-up?   I don’t know.   I’ll be honest, I’ve been curious about this guy because of all the buzz he built in NXT.   I’m curious to see this demon persona yet, how to make it work with a WWE audience?   It is a puzzle but, given his petite stature, if he’s going to be a believable “heavyweight” he’s going to have to go “demon”.   Yet, they appear to be on the right track because the presentation landed but it gives Bálor some big shoes to fill.   If done right, he could be the next Undertaker.   True, he won’t have the same kind of presence but a chill is a chill.   If he runs it up your spine, you’re forced to reconsider him even if you can pick him up ...
