Your most "Against The Grain" opinion on wrestling

I am not super into Finn Balor. Seen many superior workers/matches/feuds/characters from others in NXT. Only thing Balor has going for him over them is the sweet demon entrance.... and the past two times he has done it he seems to have "phoned it in" compared to the first couple of times.

Balor should be nowhere near one of the Summerslam main events, especially so soon after debuting. Needs some time to establish himself on the main roster, and I don't think he has the mic skills/character/charisma to do that in such a short amount of time. I think maybe if they play those NXT video packages they made for him when he won the NXT Title (or maybe it was before), it would be their best bet at getting him over.

I think Balor should go heel, personally, he just doesn't cut it for me as a face. I hear tell he was heel in Japan with The Club, so maybe he should just do that again. Something about his appearance just strikes me as slimy and Gollum-esque.
