8 Reasons Finn Balor Will Be WWE's Best NXT Call-Up
1. Undeniable Star Quality
Pure technical ability and charisma are the cornerstones of a successful professional wrestling career, but it takes more than that to reach the sport’s upper echelons. History is littered with great workers and talkers that amassed considerable followings and success, but never came close to reaching true immortality.
Consider the biggest stars in the business: wrestlers like The Rock and Hulk Hogan, or CM Punk and Edge more recently. Each had their flaws, but they were all great performers in their own right, and at their height of their respective fame, each was a cornerstone of their business.
What’s the one thing tying them all together? Their star quality: the intangible x-factor that draws you towards them seemingly without explanation, and holds your attention for as long as they’re on-screen. Charisma is one of its key components, but star quality extends beyond that: it’s a presence, an aura, and a must-have trait at the top of any entertainment industry.
Finn Balor has this in spades. He’s the kind of wrestler you’d tune-in to a show specifically to see, and Full Sail University is in the palm of his hand every time he steps into the ring. Wherever he goes, people want to see Balor perform, and while it would be foolish to say he’ll ever reach the level of a Rock or Hogan, he won’t fail through a lack of star power.
