10 WWE Stars More Interesting On Social Media Than TV

6. Bálor Club

WWE took the fun-loving personalities of Karl Anderson/Luke Gallows and decided to wrap the duo's own organic sense of humour in stilted comedy like the "Old Day" or carrying fake testicles around in a jar. In the process, they missed the point, and should have been studying The Club's social media activity instead.

Finn Bálor is the same; a real-life friend of Gallows and Anderson, Finn shows a cheeky charm on Twitter that's completely missing from his on-screen persona. This creates an odd discord between what fans see on social media and what WWE present on television.

Throwing up the old "Too Sweet" horns and occasionally referencing their history together elsewhere is one thing, but where are the segments to show why Bálor gets along with these guys? It wouldn't be too much of a stretch for WWE to admit they were pals before reaching the company or show some social media content.

By establishing their authentic camaraderie, WWE would be making it easier for themselves to sell Bálor Club's purpose to casual fans on TV.
