10 WWE Superstars and their NFL counterparts

Lawrence Taylor defeated Bam Bam Bigelow at WrestleMania 11

#9 Finn Balor – Andrew Luck

Finn Balor relinquishes the Universal title after getting injured against Seth Rollins

Finn Balor’s call-up to the main roster felt long overdue. But when he did finally make his way to Raw, it was evident he was pegged as the new face of WWE. He went undefeated in his first month, and it culminated with him becoming the first ever Universal champion.

Then he got hurt and had to relinquish the title. And although he still has a bright future, it’s tough to ignore all the injuries he’s sustained lately. At the end of his NXT run, he hurt his ankle. Then he tore his shoulder labrum against Seth Rollins. Then he got concussed by Jinder Mahal.

Andrew Luck has suffered a similar fate. His destiny was always to be the heir to Peyton Manning’s throne on the Indianapolis Colts. And although he can still reach that level, injuries have prevented him from becoming the top-tier QB he has the potential to be.

Unlike Balor, Luck hasn’t missed a tonne of time with his injuries. However, playing through them has been just as bad. He hasn’t performed anywhere close to where people believe he can, and that is mostly being blamed on nagging head and shoulder injuries.

But let’s get away from the negatives. Both Balor and Luck are also extremely nice guys both in and out of their profession. Balor is great with fans and plays with Legos in his spare time. Meanwhile, Luck has been known to complement linemen after a big hit and also runs a book club.

These two have very bright futures and are great guys. We just have to hope they have better fortune in the coming years.
