‘I’m Very Grateful’: Finn Balor Revealed How His Insightful Conversation With WWE Legend The Undertaker Went

The Undertaker is one of the greatest legends working in the pro wrestling business. So it comes as no surprise that he acts as a lighthouse guiding young superstars in the right direction. In an interview, Finn Balor revealed one such piece of advice given by The Undertaker.

Finn Balor is as close as any wrestler has come to The Undertaker and Kane’s niche in the ’90s. In recent years, many superstars have lost the urgency and novelty to bring overblown characters to the WWE screen. Except for Bray Wyatt’s ‘The Fiend’, Alexa Bliss’ ‘Lily’, and Impact’s Decay, there is no one pulling the horror aesthetic in wrestling.

Finn Balor on advice from The Undertaker

In the interview with Channel Guide Mag Blog, Finn Balor said, “That would be a dream match for me to see Finn Bálor versus The Undertaker. It really doesn’t need to be explained more than that. I’ve been very fortunate to talk to Undertaker when I first came in here. We talked about entrances. He gave me a lot of advice that helps me to this day. So I’m very grateful for that. Maybe I’d play a couple of mind games with the Deadman. It would be a little bit fun.”

Not only was The Undertaker influential in Finn Balor’s creation of his demon persona, but he also has a hand with the iconic aesthetics of the Finn Balor’s entrance. Over the years, Finn Balor has mastered the line between his demon and normal aesthetics, but we would love to see it return in today’s WWE.

Finn Balor ‘Demon’ persona

Influenced by the great gimmicks of the past like, ‘The Deadman’, ‘The Big Red Machine’, ‘Mankind’ and many more, Finn Balor’s ‘Demon King’ is one of a kind in today’s wrestling. Not only does it bode well for children’s fascination, but it also isn’t taken to the absurd heights. However, one of the biggest complaints from wrestling fans is that it makes wrestling feel fake.

Wrestling gimmicks such as ‘Demon King’ have somewhat lost their novelty, but Finn Balor and Bray Wyatt have uniquely worked these out-of-the-box characters. Only bringing these characters out when the match is big enough gives the gimmick an added layer.

It could have been a classic seeing Finn Balor’s ‘Demon King’ and The Undertaker go at it at WrestleMania. But with The Undertaker being inducted into The Hall of Fame earlier this year, the chances for that are impossible. But we can always book our fantasy matches during WWE 2k22.
