Chat with Finn Balor.

You�re essentially the �face� of NXT, being the current NXT
Champion � especially all painted-up and in your
instantly-recognisable attire. So, how important has NXT been in
developing you as a superstar, and how vital is NXT in general
for the wrestling world?
�I think NXT has morphed from being developmental into what I
consider the most influential brand in all of wrestling, and I
think that all of the superstars at NXT have the responsibility
to serve everybody in wrestling with the most exciting and
ground-breaking product that�s out there right now. I�m very
happy to be at the forefront in leading the charge of this
wrestling revolution that we�re causing, and I�m very proud to
be champion.�
Apart from yourself, of course, who are your top picks from the
NXT roster to go onto superstardom in the WWE?
�I think there�s some very obvious ones, like Apollo Crews, but
two for me that have really started to stand out in recent times
are Jason Jordan and Chad Gable, as a tag team. I think someone
who I don�t think gets enough credit is Aiden English, and I
think in the future he�s definitely one of the unsung heroes of
NXT � and I think he has a very bright future, be it as a
tag-team wrestler, as he is currently, or as a singles wrestler
in the future.�
So then, to the people heading down to an NXT show, or
considering getting down to one, what�s to be expected?
�Well I always like to describe NXT as more of a rock�n�roll
wrestling show. It has that kinda underground, indie feel that I
was so accustomed to in the independent circuits that I loved so
much. So, for me, it�s been a beautiful coming together of
working with the WWE but also still having that raw organic feel
of being an independent, so that�s the one thing that makes NXT
so different than anywhere else. It�s kinda having the hybrid of
both very different styles.�
You just said you feel NXT is a �rock�n�roll wrestling show�.
Rock and wrestling is a combo that�s been super-strong for years
and years. Why do you feel that is?
�I guess the high-tempo, high-energy, adrenaline, buzz,
testosterone, but I kind of got it the opposite way. I know a
lot of people who like to listen to rock�n�roll music to amp
themselves up in the locker room before a match. I�ve been
notorious for going and listening to some real ambience like
Ulrich Schnauss or The Album Leaf before I go out, because I
like to be nice and mellow and chilled-out when I go out there.�
So, which one band would you want to play while you made your
entrance to the ring?
�It would really depend on what music I�m gonna come out to,
�cause if I�m gonna come out to my own music, I would love to
have a collection of my friends from home [Bray, Republic Of
Ireland] that are all local independent artists, like Big
September or Columbia Mills, playing my current WWE tune. I�m a
huge Miles Kane fan, I could really picture myself walking out
to Come Closer or Inhaler. I like The Kooks, too� Or maybe even
some Action Bronson with some hip-hop. The most important thing
is that you have an emotional connection with the piece of
music, it has to change your mind-set � it has to be an �on�
switch that lets me know, �Okay, it�s business time� Finn is
here!��
A super-important one now� what is your all-time favourite
wrestling entrance? What gets the hairs on your neck standing,
without fail?
�Stone Cold Steve Austin, when the glass breaks. It just gets
you every time, doesn�t matter if it�s a small house show or a
big-bang show, just once the glass breaks it gets everyone
riled-up, so that�s easy!�
Finally, then, say if someone has stumbled across this page,
interested by your cool ring get-up, but aren�t yet fans of
wrestling. Why should they get involved, especially with NXT?
�Well, for me, I was always under the impression that for people
that get sports entertainment, no explanation is necessary. And
for people that don�t get sports entertainment, no explanation
will ever do. So, I think that I like to keep an open mind with
everything in life, and to close yourself off from something as
beautiful as the art that we perform in the ring � and that�s
what it is; I consider it art � it�s very close-minded, so I
would say open your mind to some full-blown adult-orientated
action, violence, sports-entertainment art!�
