#4 Finn Balor is a priority
Trending
At 190 pounds and 5’10, people are likely to question why Finn Balor is going toe-to-toe with top stars like Brock Lesnar, while he is the same size as the Cruiserweights on the SAME SHOW.
The Cruiserweights are now considered change-the-channel TV and it will damage Finn Balor to be associated with these wrestlers, most of whom he has previously worked with.
This wasn’t an issue when Daniel Bryan was being pushed, as there was no other division for him to wrestle in. However, Finn Balor will clearly be seen as a Cruiserweight who is battling the top stars.
It would be best for his career to not showcase him and the Cruiserweights on the same brand. Anti-Balor WWE fans will instantly use the line, “he looks like a Cruiserweight” as soon as he pushed. Ric Flair already alluded to this on his podcast the night after Finn Balor debuted on Raw
According to Flair, Bálor is too physically small to main event a WrestleMania, as no Cruiserweight will ever headline a WrestleMania. Flair said:
"If I'm looking at what's going to draw money, what I would pay to see, I would pay to see Dolph against Ambrose before I'd pay to see Finn Bálor against Seth Rollins, so I think it's phenomenal. I think Finn Bálor is great too.
I just think you've got a legitimate heavyweight in Seth Rollins, a legitimate heavyweight in Roman Reigns, and I don't think we'll ever see the day, and I could be totally wrong, that a Cruiserweight will ever main event a WrestleMania.”
And as unfortunate as that might sound, Flair is probably right.
