If Finn Balor doesnt get called up the day after WrestleMania, or shortly after, it will be surprising. Much like Kevin Owens being ready for the main roster almost immediately upon his arrival in NXT, Balor has been ready for the jump for some time now. He has huge fan support in NXT, winning their vote for the overall competitor of the year. He also has a strong international following as well due to his time in Japan. Balor isnt the greatest on the mic, but he doesnt need to be. Hes a Jeff Hardy type, in that he has a unique charisma and mystique to him that naturally draws you in. Basically, hes just pretty damn cool. With the company dangerously low on credible babyfaces, Balor will likely be shot fairly high up the card upon his debut. He has the experience, the talent and the uniqueness to get him noticed right away and become a major player for years. If 2016 ends without him on the main roster, then it will have been a major mistake by the company.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
