10 WWE Wrestlers That Can’t Be Harmed By Always Losing

3. Finn Bálor

Finn Bálor's half decent record on pay-per-view betrays the reality of his life as a rank-and-file WWE performer in the hidden twilight of his career.

At 37 years old, there's time left yet for Bálor to have about ten different WWE careers thanks to the amount of churn required to fill five+ hours of original live content every week for the next six years. What he probably can't do though, is start from scratch.

For Finn Bálor, 'scratch' was the best. Scratch was snaring the Universal Title in roughly the same amount of time it took Hulk Hogan to lift his first WWE strap in 1984. Scratch was being an actual winner, rather than one that just offers a surprising statistic on Cagematch.net. Scratch was defeating Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins within a month, and having your money-spinning 'Demon' gimmick protected in the process.

Indeed, where even is the mythology and mystique of the body paint, as we speak? It's nowhere near the current product outside of his SummerSlam squash victory over Baron Corbin, because the current product chews Finn Bálor up and spits him out as a manageable midcarder and nothing more.

There are worse roles to have in WWE, but if he's not already been emotionally abandoned by the audience, he'll certainly never have Vince McMahon's heart the same way again.
