Video: Finn Balor

“When your life comes to a crossroads, the only way to find a path to take is to revisit the ones you’ve walked before. How did you get here? Did your footsteps leave the world in a better place or did your missteps leave the world covered in darkness? Egos. Mistakes. Errors. Retrace your steps. Find your heart. I have. And next week, my future will be my past.” – Finn Balor
