Finn Balor Discusses Being In NXT, Daniel Bryan, WWE Future

In an interview with Wrestling 101, Finn Balor (aka Prince Devitt) spoke about signing with the WWE and his thoughts about NXT. Here are highlights:

On first getting into wrestling: “I first started watching wrestling with my granddad on TV, we used to watch the old World of Sport and then when Sky TV came to Ireland we got WWF at the time. I was a fan all the way through my teenage years but there weren’t any wrestling schools over here at the time but I was also into other sports like soccer and Gallic Football. When I was 18-years-old and I had left school I saw an ad in Power Slam magazine for Hammerlock wrestling school for a two week summer camp so I sent my money off for that. When I arrived at Hammerlock I was trained by Andre Baker for two weeks, then after that I went over on a regular basis, like once a month then once every couple of weeks to train with Andre.”

On his thoughts on NXT before signing with WWE: “I used to Sky+ WWE and TNA shows when I was away and would always try to catch up when I got back home and I thought NXT was the best show on television. A couple of my really good friends Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn were already there so I enjoyed seeing how they were doing. NXT out of any wrestling show definitely has the most actual in ring wrestling per hour, you get a good four matches in that time which is brilliant. It was great seeing Paige win the NXT Womens title and now on the main roster working with AJ Lee for the Divas Title – I’ve known her brother for a long time.”

On working with Daniel Bryan: “I worked with Daniel a long time ago at an NWA show in upstate New York in a title tournament. It was in Buffalo, New York and I remember before the match there were about 54 guys in the locker-room and there was about the same number of people in the crowd, and a lot of people had actually left by the time our match was on because it was the last match of the night. Just being in the ring with Daniel Bryan was unbelievable, he is the ultimate professional and everything he does is perfect and in my opinion he is the total package.”
