I was rushingg out of the house right after the Balor/rollins segment so I couldn't post then, I am specifically here to say how stupid that was. I don't know Balor, I don't watch nxt, I really am indifferent to this runt, but figured ok whatever, I will give this new era a chance. I was embarassed watching that crap. I literally thought he was a knock off of The Boogyman. Seriously, what the hell did I watch? That was not exciting, that was not awesome like the 6 fans chanting "this is awesome." I don't know what is more painful, this little midget in face paint crawling to the ring in some african outfit, or The Rusev/Lana wedding segment.

I don't know what the wwe business plan is, I assume they are trying to market to kids again, because as a 32 year old male there are less than a handful of things I can enjoy/relate to. But I really shook my head and rolled my eyes at that segment. You are promoting a new championship and have a cartoon character competing for it. At least we know Rollins is going to be the champ so that is fine.

Its still real to me dammit.

Agree with Stickman that the Demon King just wasn't right for Raw. I also found the little contingent of fans screaming "this is awesome" funny because it wasn't. It wasn't my first time seeing the Demon King but it was the first time I wasn't a fan of it. The people I was watching with thought he was silly.

I agree that it's silly to rush the Demon King persona so quickly, although hot shotting Balor into the main event didn't give them many options either. Just another case of not looking ahead and just winging it day by day, it seems.


The Club doctor thing strikes me as the silly stuff we'd do in C-Fedding. It's stupid but funny, and I love it.

Why do they need to name it? Just have Finn Balor come out looking fucking awesome at SummerSlam.

To be fair, that crowd sucked balls. I dont even remember where it was. But it was just bad luck trying to debut a character like that in front of that junk crowd.

Being familliar with Devitt, my problem was also wasting the paint for a nondescript RAW instead of the PPV at least, if not a return match.

Also, my problem with the "demon" gimmick itself isn't this "confusion with Kane" business (seriously, you people are the reason why two people couldn't have the same fucking name, because we'll get confused with more than one Steve, or Shane, or whatever, because who can contextually tell the difference between AJ Lee and AJ Styles, or Shane McMahon and Shane Helms, amirite?!)

... my issue is more of how generic they have made it- boiling it down to a single look that is a mash-up of some of the best body paint cosplaying he's done (Carnage, Venom, Spawn...) into a single, somewhat marketable look of teeth and streamers. The paint job wasn't just for special occasions, but also was a "what is he gonna cosplay as next?". Kinda like Rey Rey in his various WrestleMania attire over the years.

Simply put, the demon should be special occasion only, and the look should vary when he does it.
