[@mons00n81]

The amount of idiots saying Finn is too small to beat Brock. Eddie Guerrero was 5'8 when he beat Brock Lesnar, Finn is 5'11.

[@k1llberos829]

Yea but Eddie cheated

[@3riplex175]

UN FORG1VEN He Lied He Cheats He Steals [R.I.P] Eddie

[@docsplayground]

I won't go to Eddie but Punk didn't back out from the beast. Why would Balor succumb?

[@docsplayground]

40?! Well apparently I'm not precise of his weight as I thought I was. As far as I remember, I've always known he was around 195-200 lbs when he went against Lesnar. Yes it's unlikely Balor "beats" him but I doubt he would be broken as easily as expected. Balor showed more resiliency than most in his NXT and Raw matches.

[@heelgod1322]

Mons00n i love balor but like he is not as big(muscular wise) than eddie He will get it back,I'm sure

[@shrimp3rjr413]

Fergal is such a nice guy, seriously a true role model to anyone, not just Wrestling fans

[@thelastoutlaw2925]

LOL at people who turned on Finn Balor so quickly. These are the same guys who were pulling for the debut of Finn on main roster and his eventual claim on the Universal Championship last year. Shame on you guys!

[@heffman102]

I know right, WWE fans are the most retarded fans on the planet. Always have something to cry about

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

Last Outlaw Your comment should be at the top of the page. It sums up WWE fans perfectly.

[@thepunisherclub6442]

The Last Outlaw so true I still don't know why they turn on his back maybe because he's dating Cathy Kelly and all the thirsty virgins want to date her but probably got upset and turn on bàlor because they're dating and that's why they hate him or doesn't like him because of that to me its probably that because before the rumors they actually like finn and when they find out they are dating they hate him like come on we get it you guys are jealous but it doesn't give you guys the right to hate him if you truly "like" Cathy Kelly you'll let her be happy and date whoever she wants and if she wants to date finn let her date finn and don't get me wrong I like Cathy and a little jealous of finn but I never turn his back on him he's still one of my favorites and just let them be happy together

[@heffman102]

+Bullet Club For Life They're probably jealous because he's from the greatest country on earth

[@SMWAnimations]

The Last Outlaw Those guys are all PUSSYS and try to deny everything

[@tubbstubbs.5311]

Hold up when the fuck did everyone decide they don't like Finn Balor

[@LestatSkysGuitar]

Tubbs Tubbs. Wrestling fans are so fickle ! Bunch of whiny bitches

[@V3RTER0]

Tubbs Tubbs. I love finn balor he's from Ireland like me

[@prince_sach50]

I've never really liked him

[@TheMegaDudeBroski]

All the comments trying to bury Finn even though he works a million times harder and is at least 20 times better than Brock. Honestly Brock literally only has a size advantage, and being big doesn't instantly make you able to squash everyone who's smaller than you on the roster. By that logic Great Khali and Giant Gonzales where the greatest wrestlers in history

[@RKOConorRKO]

I enjoy the interviews on this channel

[@jayvranvalmore8169]

my money is on Finn balor I'm a huge a fan of Finn balor he need to when the universal championship again c'mon finn balor call out Brock lesnar in the ring

[@HOA_Bossman]

Much love to Finn hope he never gets injured like before

[@benjaminredington]

In the background you can see Shinsuke and Rusev

[@LeeJoRo]

Again. Nice interviews kenny. How do you matk out when meeting these performers?

[@gleenfales]

How does he matk out? I don't think so

[@LeeJoRo]

Glenn Fales mark out* turn into a superfan. Starstruck.

[@TheRabidmonkfish]

Kenny peeking that Mic lol

[@MrKhalil9]

David vs Goliath Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar seems interesting!

[@MrHbkfan17]

A wild Handsome Ru Ru can be found right behind Finn Bálor

[@haraldvandervoort5696]

So then why is he still not in the title picture?

[@singhnature]

Finn will make a great Cruiserweight Champion.

[@singhnature]

what ?

[@singhnature]

Đuro Dominković takes one to know one

[@Lee-ii5ij]

I Think Lesnar vs Balor would be an amazing match. Finn is a great in ring performer and it could really mesh well with Brock's physical style. I agree with the David and golliah idea for Brock and Finn balor I think it would really work perfectly with those two. If Brock is leaving after Wrestlemania for UFC I think Brock dropping the title to Finn instead of someone like lame Reigns would be a perfect scenario. Give the smaller guys a chance to have the spotlight for a change.

[@jennifergreen8649]

Oh finn balor is a man!!! Definitely but he's one of best wrestlers in the world, ever.

[@GTAFailable]

Don't get me wrong Undertaker coming out to attack Roman or Fin would be fantastic, but wouldn't it be equally great if Kane showed up and attached Roman?

[@greetings.haveaniceday.7162]

Finn is so silly.

[@limecat1986]

I'm sure Lesnar is watching this and shitting his pants at the thought of being called out by this new Hornswoggle here.

[@urodominkovic5263]

limecat1986 Fat fat fat fat fat fat fat this is Bork lesnrs theme song and the second verse is going steroids I love steroids

[@SonofJones]

If you think Finn doesn't stand a chance just because of his size, then you shouldn't think Lesnar stands a chance against Strowman. Difference in height between Lesnar and Strowman? 5 inches. Between Balor and Lesnar? 4 inches. Difference in weight between Lesnar and Strowman? 120 lbs. Balor and Lesnar? 75 lbs.

[@Bigballslegend]

This time last year kenny interviewed Finn ........ for whatcultre. Too soon ??? 😭😭😭

[@thatsbloodycreepy8575]

He said it perfectly "David vs Goliath" and we all know how that turned out...

[@Biting_bullets25]

Only if balor won that match

[@bobbygraves4344]

Maybe Undertaker should take Finn Balor under his wing as a mentor to bring out the dark side of Finn Balor.

[@mcgaming4876]

Just like lesnar lost to goldburg

[@MrAstalavista87]

I love to see Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar,but im more interested to see Finn Balor vs John Cena,with Balor as heel.

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

Thumbs up if you want to see Finn reverse an F5 into a Slingblade and Coup de Grace for the win. How epic would that spot be if done right?

[@johnnyalpuerto2815]

When WWE's budget is so low that a mic has to be put on the reporter's phone.

[@Johnsor21]

Johnny Alpuerto the interviewer is not paid by WWE. That's his own equipment

[@MrAaronOShea]

He's so drunk its hilarious

[@TheStormbringer8751]

Kenny, this ain't WCPW!

[@levisamom5069]

David vs goliath...more like 'Devitt' vs goliath

[@Arcane360]

Next time hold the mic farther away from your mouth. Finn's voice was perfect with the mic positioning, so to give you a point of reference. Your voice was piercing and had distortion.

[@cj6838]

With just 1 promo, Paul Heyman would take him down badly, just words, Balor doesnt need to bother about working hard to try to win something he knows he cannot, in the entertainment or the real world ;) Peace to All.

[@thekillerboss6568]

Hi

[@allen496]

i see nakamura cesaro sheamu and rusev

[@docsplayground]

Did people suddenly forgot Punk?! The amount of people still underestimating Balor is proof of how people look down upon other people by reading only their covers in real life. As favorite as Lesnar is to me I expected Punk to be devastated, instead he (being the same exact weight class as Balor) gave a worthy beatdown which was considered match of the year. Finn might be 3 inches short, guess what. He was the first Universal champion. The ones saying he won't stand a chance ... I'm pretty sure the next qualifier for the title would be Finn cause I don't see any other plots and when that match comes, you'll all be choking down your own words. Good luck swallowing.

[@urodominkovic5263]

sumtinsumtin96 Do you even know how manx pounds punk has( fuck american pounds) 218 and balor has 198 idiot thats not forty lbs bunch of crap

[@wrestlinganimeherofan9649]

If Eddie can have a great match and rivalry with Brock Balor can too

[@Steve-hy5cx]

How is Eddie Guerrero beating Lesnar for the WWE Champion alright with you marks but Finn Bálor facing Brock Lesnar is a stupid idea? You might as well complained about Bobby Roode beating Shinsuke cause Shinsuke was a former MMA fighter

[@bossdon_arita773]

I hope The Undertaker makes an appearance tonight!!!!

[@naheeda5932]

Christopher Greig where the fuck did you hear this bs from stfu

[@gleenfales]

+Christopher Greig he did deserve it lol. You know Vince? Taker definitely wanted it to be Roman. And Roman has takers role in the locker room, and he is well respected by his peers. So stfu with that "typical" shit mark.

[@hoodedhawk1960]

Im worried

[@makewinenotwar.1183]

I think undertaker should return tonight and turn heel on balor and start a unholy alliance with brey and really pass on the torch all coming to a close with balor vs undertaker and have balor put over then taker show respect to turn him face again before finally retirement, ps and make brey universal champion threw the undertakers alliance with wyatt

[@makewinenotwar.1183]

Balor vs Undertaker WM34

[@comet6740]

I wish Finn Balor was number 30 instead of roman. Imagine the stare down between Balor and Undertaker.

[@viletoxxie]

"..Weighing in at 180 pounds..." oh dear

[@Bounty_45]

Gosh, he's 36???

[@glenisawesome9153]

demon vs beast

[@jackdersh4537]

why would you want to face triple h he was basically retired twice

[@dazzaMusic]

Finn would be more suited to 205 live

[@urodominkovic5263]

dazzaburger Fuck you america

[@stephentwilling10b]

Mark my work Finn will make history beating a part timer champ which = paper weight champ in my book , giving the fact Brock. went against the script to retain title

[@docsplayground]

Stephen Twilling Precisely. Even I was sure he won't retain even though he's my choice in the match. So I don't see any new plots as all those 3 failed and Finn is now open for grabs. It'd be epic if he takes back the championship he never lost.

[@braun316saysiamnotfinished9]

Yeah it can be a great squash match

[@florianfan2008]

20 sec squash match with Brock destroying Balor. Then ship balor off to 205 live. Thats where he belongs.

[@urodominkovic5263]

florianfan2008 Fucking salty bitch

[@florianfan2008]

Nobody gives a shit how hard balor worked. Nobody gives a shit how many moves Balor has. Lesner draws 1000 tmes more than Balor every match. Lesner is the champ while Balor is jobbing. Get used to it or go cry in a corner. Nothing u can do about it.

[@DanielRobsonFtm]

I can't be the only one that doesn't want to see Finn vs Brock, maybe I could be wrong.

[@urodominkovic5263]

Sunderland Ftm Fuck Sunderland hahahahha you are in the second ligue

[@DanielRobsonFtm]

Cool, shame you couldn't even name the *League*

[@urodominkovic5263]

Sunderland Ftm Nobody cares thats why

[@Ceoofepo_]

Fun Reviews only ur mouth that sounds shit

[@prince_sach50]

same here

[@hardypk981]

Many of you commenting shit about Finn, this is for you:- Don't you freaking remember he beat roman reigns and then go on to beat seth rollins to become the first ever universal champion.. If he can beat roman why can't he beat Brock

[@limecat1986]

Because Brock is Brock (ie. ended the Undertaker's streak, first undisputed champion, squashed john cena etc etc). I understand what you're are saying, but Brock is still in a league of his own and Balor (of all people) should be no where near him.

[@dylan6253]

limecat1986 Chris Jericho was the first undisputed champion.....

[@ej8eid23i38]

Lol so many are triggered

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

Vince Russo was right about you people. you just don't know what you want. one second it's Finndemonium and the next it's "Oh he sucks he's so vanilla and boring." I got to say the majority of WWE fans have got to be the worst fans in the world based on what I've seen.

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

And they did the same thing to Roman Reigns

[@rahulkanskar6925]

no one can beat brock

[@countrylife04]

this cruiserweight wants to wrestle Brock? hahaha

[@kronsYT]

Comments section is exactly what I thought it would be, people saying finn is too small and hes a joke compared to brock. In storyline. Balor could take the fight to brock with the demon king gimmick. Chill tf out people

[@kronsYT]

We've seen Lesnar vs Rollins and they were fine matches. Its a similar case with Finn

[@limecat1986]

So Balor could take the fight to a bonafied UFC wrecking machine by whacking on some face paint??? This whole thing is fucking stupid...

[@kronsYT]

limecat1986 Bro. I said storyline wise he can. U wait. When they have the match brock isnt going to squash him bro. They like finn and see him as a top guy. #HatersGonnaHate 😂😂

[@ericdicocco4986]

i love wwe, and honestly im even a fan of finn balor (though not as big as most people it would seem) but sorry only in a fake sport like wrestling could finn balor EVER beat brock lesnar in a fight. if this ever happens, you all need to bow down to vince for letting your wet dreams become reality, cause it is almost laughable to think about

[@wallerlakes1406]

It's wwe, it's fucking wrestling. They tell stories you knobs, it doesn't matter if you don't buy finn beating Brock and it doesn't matter what would happen in real life, it's scripted.

[@walsh8921]

Come on Vince it writes itself ffs Finn wins the rumble fights brock at mania for the title. Easy stroytelling

[@theeducator6342]

Finn would kill Lesnar in the ring

[@User-ty8vi]

HAHAHAHA.We all know he is kidding cause he knows he can't beat Lesnar

[@urodominkovic5263]

Atomska Strudla Jbg sta ti znas u wwe budalo ko te pusti u vaj comment section takog glupavog

[@ST21892]

Thats a joke

[@defaltmarkowicz4887]

I've already seen James Ellsworth vs Braun Strowman once.. I don't need to see it again.

[@heffman102]

Comparing Finn Balor to James Ellsworth is the dumbest thing I ever heard

[@calwhitenxttloufan5806]

I'm a Finn Balor fan but I don't think he is a realistic opponent for Brock Lesnar.

[@urodominkovic5263]

LegitPhenomenal1 TooSweet! Idiotttt

[@calwhitenxttloufan5806]

Đuro Dominković you are an idiot. You don't go around calling people an idiot

[@calwhitenxttloufan5806]

Đuro Dominković go back to school and learn how to spell. Also you're not the greatest. FACT!

[@calwhitenxttloufan5806]

Đuro Dominković Okay. Chill out 😂

[@urodominkovic5263]

LegitPhenomenal1 TooSweet! Okay I dont understand you are a Finn Balor fan ,why you dont want him a match against lesnar, that would be an awesome match , the perfect match would be Balor vs Styles or Balor vs Kenny Omega but this would also be awesome

[@crinjay1]

Its been done finn lost

[@xlmxveronel5356]

Finn Balor's size is the size of Brock's one of his arms lol.

[@jasonvoorhees9254]

Xlmx Veronel size doesn't matter Finn beat Somoa joe a lot and Brock barely beat hm and Brock's bigger than joe

[@malvane8061]

That's being generous. Maybe the size of Brock's thumbnail is more accurate.

[@xlmxveronel5356]

+Jason Voorhees yeah right. Script :3 scripts everywhere. But in my opinion size does matter at some point look what khali did to Rey in the past he squashed like a fly in less 3 minutes.

[@urodominkovic5263]

Xlmx Veronel And your brain size is microscopic, i mean what a photo are you gay or what, idiot...

[@xlmxveronel5356]

+Đuro Dominković worst joke i ever seen in a comment in the last 10 years you communist boy shut it :)

[@MultiGeo1986]

overated

[@typicalyoutubegamer3775]

What is it with everyone whant ing brock lesnar plus finn I am a fan but lesnar is close to 300 pounds your under 200 pounds why go after a beast someone how can pick big show up whant he whas 500 pounds

[@LeRandomBro]

Linda Van Cleff Nobody complained when Eddie Guerrero went against Lesnar, so I dont see whats wrong.

[@urodominkovic5263]

Linda Van Cleff Go watch the lame women wrestling, Fuck the Netherlands

[@keithdavid1544]

We all know that brock lesnar will destroy finn balor within 1 minute.

[@syeddanialjavedjaved1460]

He can not beat the beast brock lesnar

[@Fooz766]

no kid 😕😕 we don't wanna see you verses that beast

[@kronsYT]

Mr. Obaid Maybe you dont but hes gonna get a big pop when they announce the match one day

[@urodominkovic5263]

Mr. Obaid And we dont wanna see your lame comment here so fuck off

[@Fooz766]

Jordy Vega one day ?? Brock Lesnar leaving WWE soon because there is no tough wrestler to face him, and this shity era has finn shity balor as the toughest guy ?? what the heck?!! and that's why Brock leaving this company without facing your favourite kid 😎😝😏

[@Fooz766]

Đuro Dominković you don't own my shit to own this channel so fuck off

[@chucklai44]

Finn Balor looks like he should be feuding with Neville instead of calling out Brock.

[@lannone179]

Hmmmm...... Finn Could Get Squashed... But Maybe He Could Use His Agility To Take Him Out?! Hmmmm.......

[@pranayamaskey6876]

Neville > finn balor

[@JoshJakeG]

All the people Brock has beaten in real life. And this 205 live jabroni thinks he should beat Brock freakin Lesnar?

[@k1llberos829]

He isn't even from 205 live lol do you even actually know who prince devitt/Finn balor is

[@RoYaLLeGiiTHD]

Brocks beat in real life? Lol the guys a nobody in the UFC he's fought a bunch of old past their prime bums and the one time he has a decent opponent cain Velasquez made him his bitch for 5 rounds even though he was 40 pounds lighter, steroids don't make you tough, they just make you gass easy, real tough guys like Benoit would drop lesnar

[@urodominkovic5263]

Jo Gølphin Come on black guy, blacky can i call you blacky , this guy will win idiotooooo, because vince wants hin to win

[@limecat1986]

Duro stop commenting on everyones Balor's criticisms because you aren't adding anything other than anti-american and anti-indian nonsense. you're a fucking embarrassment

[@brunosaiz234]

SirCalz brock didnt last 5 rounds against velasquez he got tired and got his ass finished in the first round (no harm intended just information)

[@FedorMachida]

Finn is a manlet. He should stay as far away from Brock Lesnar as possible.

[@rig7977]

FedorMachida Last Nah, Brock vs finn would be great

[@rig7977]

Aren't you the loser here?, all you do is hate on a good wrestler.

[@urodominkovic5263]

FedorMachida Last Wwe's plan is for Brock to lose against Demon King Finn Balor

[@FedorMachida]

You could have an inside angle, I can't discount that. But, I don't see what the upside is to putting Finn over Brock. I don't see Brock giving the green light for this to happen. Vince would have to pay him a huge bonus.

[@urodominkovic5263]

FedorMachida Last He wont pay him beacuse that could be his last match at WM34

[@brandonalvarez7462]

Balor better be careful cause lesnar will crush him

[@Illusionistical822]

The interviewer can probably beat up Finn Balor.

[@urodominkovic5263]

I fucking love indy darlings

[@kimbasland]

Sissy challenging the Beast!!!

[@D00mv1]

[@mons00n81]

You do know that wrestling is fake, right?

[@mattcraig8872]
