– WWE NXT Champion Finn Balor recently appeared on The Kevin Gill Show to discuss living the dream, transitioning from Japan to NXT, first impressions of Luke “Doc” Gallows, creative process at NXT, Positive Mental Attitude, Mr. Regal and more. The full interview can be found at this link. The show sent us these highlights:
Making the transition from NJPW to NXT:
โJapan was an incredible chapter. I was kind of very reluctant to move on from Japan and very unsure of what I was getting into when I came to NXT. I can honestly say itโs been the best decision Iโve ever made. Here maybe 14 months now and Iโve been having a blast.โ
The creative process and his Demon entrance:
โFor me itโs kind of like a trial and error. Iโm very much of the belief that you canโt preplan art. You canโt set out in advance what youโre going to doโฆ you have to feel it in the moment. With the entrance weโve done a lot of rehearsals. I had a lot of input from Hunter and a lot of input from Road Doggโฆ Itโs a huge effort to what goes on behind the scenes while Iโm actually doing the entrance.โ
Keeping a positive mental attitude:
โSometimes you just have to take a step back and admire the landscape. It is a very competitive place NXT right now. What I consider some of the best athletes in the world wrestle for NXT. You got Gable and Jordan who are a really strong tag team at the moment. Theyโve shown tremendous growthโฆ Weโre all striving for the same goal and thatโs striving to make NXT special.โ
