[@CameronAPriest]

Finn just seems like the nicest guy, another class interview Tom! Great stuff as always coming from Cultaholic

[@bowdenproductions]

I don’t know if it’s the radio background, but Tom kills at interviews.

[@jayden8751]

it is and yes he does

[@mattpatrick]

Forbidden door or not, Finn needs to be champ again. He’s so damn good.

[@JakeDriver]

I know Lesnar is in the picture but I’m totally cool with Finn being the one to defeat Reigns.

[@vb2806]

Never gonna happen and I am glad for it. This guy needs to go to Aew and stay there.

[@KingKait077]

Man if Finn wins, that would bring me back to WWE most definitely.

[@JakeDriver]

@@KingKait077 I genuinely think the match only goes two ways. Finn wins or Lesnar causes a DQ and destroys Reigns. I just can’t see Finn bringing back a character like the demon just to lose right away.

[@KingKait077]

@@JakeDriver I feel the exact same way WWE can’t just do the Demon Finn dirty because people love that gimmick and it’s a big key element to Balor’s gimmick because it rarely loses. It needs to stay like that.

[@conornolan4897]

Balor and PAC watching Roy Keane best bits Heaven really is a place on earth 🤘🏻

[@danlewis5977]

So instead of building Lego Finn now builds a home. What a sweet heart

[@NayTotalKnockout]

No wonder the guy looks great at the age of 40. The guy is unstressed and blessed. He seems so chill.

[@KusKus1987]

Never clicked to watch an interview sooner - great work guys!

[@beegnutzz]

Love how Finn dodged that AEW question 😂

[@CJJC42]

Yeah he moved on quick! Tom did well not to pry though!

[@jaysinleigh]

If WWE would just give in and go through the door, imagine a Fatal Four Way bout between Prince Devitt, AJ Styles, Kenny Omega, and Jay White....

[@RioShimadaKai]

Just the idea of having all leaders / former leaders of Bullet Club in a match facing off with eachother in a fatal 4way would be nuts. So much betrayal, backstabs and potential for long term storyline incorporation.

[@DevinHeida]

Wwe would refuse to let another company potentially come out with a win or more importantly have their fans learn (if some how they're clueless about what else is there) that theres another wrestling company.

[@RioShimadaKai]

@@DevinHeida According to reports a few months ago they were trying to form a relationship with New Japan for a few matches

[@ciaranwings9962]

It's possible. They apparently offered it to Daniel Bryan to be able to wrestle in other companies before he joined AEW.

[@dcaslick]

@@RioShimadaKai they wanted an exclusive working relationship with New Japan, which is honestly kinda laughable that WWE thought they could pull that off.

[@jm860421]

Every interview Tom does is Gold, amazing work mate!

[@wickideazy]

Now that's a big get for our boy Tom! This is what happens when you're a nice, decent, positive person who's one hell of an interviewer.

[@bradders2910]

Such a good interview, feels as if they've got a genuine connection with each and like they're old friends catching up

[@wingedparagon4448]

Suprised WWE allowed Finn to do this. First Mojo now Finn. Cultaholic on the up!

[@hbknumber1fan2]

They’ll let them do these type of interviews for overseas work. Finn is headed to Newcastle so he’ll make some rounds. Good stuff, Tom better not get too big for the internet journalism gig though.

[@bangboom1625]

Tom got this cause BBC Newcastle that he works with, great for cultaholic tbh

[@joshschneider9766]

I totally want to see tom on non wrestling BBC content now!

[@bangboom1625]

@@joshschneider9766 yeah he's a great broadcaster it's like Renee she's amazing not just wrestling

[@johnmayersthoughts]

This comment is written in appreciation of Mr. Tom Campbell! Hell of a presenter, hell of an interviewer, hell of a guy! Thanks, loveya, bye.

[@radricdavis803]

I feel like Tom just came outta nowhere and became the best member of cultaholic

[@ChrisRyot]

Fantastic interviewing skills by Tom here and a great catch for u guys :) Both of u are boody charismatic lads!

[@Mattchew917]

What an astounding interview, Tom is the best interviewer on KZbin 👏 👏 👏

[@daylight_sunshine3811]

Finn is one of those wrestlers who isn't egotistical and comes off as a genuinely nice guy in his interviews. Excellent interview Tom. 👏

[@laurendavis883]

I can’t believe my favourite wrestling channel interviewed my favourite wrestler

[@Crasky1992]

Damn, caught a big fish here. He seems like a real down to Earth guy. I also get a strong vibe that he'd jump ship if opportunity came knocking.

[@sonicrules666]

I think when his contract comes up WWE will struggle to keep him, Finn doesn't need WWE, WWE need him though, don't be surprised if in due course we end with another Adam Cole or Kevin Owens situation with current rumours or the wrestler leaving

[@nathangreen4539]

Would love to see him return to njpw.

[@JakeDriver]

I’d have zero issues with seeing Finn back on top of a brand. The guy is genuinely brilliant !

[@kaylamoonshoes]

He is so damn charmimg!!

[@austinkrause5418]

Balor has become one of my consistent wrestlers I like

[@jamie5140]

Loved watching Finn’s work since I first saw him for NJPW, the guy seems like such a good dude and is fucking magic in the ring! Great interview Tom👏🏼

[@conormuldoon561]

From where Tom started off everyone giving out about him to interviewing Finn Balor. What A Journey. Toms a legend

[@oyyygidz5713]

Finn balor is 40 years old?????😱😱😱

[@darvidoba6702]

I really like Finn. All the best to the guy.

[@DominicMalnar]

Incredible interviewer. Tom is a class act!

[@TheKluxx]

This is just fantastic. Finn seems like a ripper. Tom you are such a brilliant interviewer. 11/10 content.

[@aprentissdaye]

I think Finn wants to low key go to AEW one day, but it's not really a question can answer right now, maybe once his WWE contract is almost up, going to AEW will be something he could potentially entertain more.

[@therealgiannis3117]

Growing up as a Kid I loved Stone Cold, and inbetween i've liked so many but no one as much as Stone Cold, But Fin is special I think i feel the same kind of love for Fin, i support this guy soo much I hope he isn't mistreated!Won the first ever Universal title hopefully they allow him to get back to the top again!

[@danielwells012]

This is a great interview Tom 10/10

[@jasonjimerson7046]

Good job, Cultaholic! This interview was a big get for you all! Nicely done, Tom!

[@fredrickbeondo8695]

10:45 - Tom Campbell causes Finn Balor to lose a potential endorsement deal from Lay's (which is the U.S. equivalent of Walkers, same corporate parent company) LMAO

[@decrepitspice8458]

Does Walker wear a bowler hat?

[@reginaldh2079]

Finn is gold. Drinks and watching Keano clips is a favourite pastime of mine too. Brilliant interview Tom, Sean Evans watch out.

[@GeorgeBoroFan]

Fantastic work Tom, both you and Finn came across excellently well here.

[@dawnsantiago3797]

I see Finn going to AEW in a few years

[@Crasky1992]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. His enthusiasm over 'the forbidden door' and that he didn't shut down questions regarding watching Pac and keeping up with what they're doing 'over there' suggests he's open to it!

[@unstablebrother]

I can see him in NJPW as well

[@adriangonzalez5021]

Tom has the most natural interviewing skills I've ever seen. Almost feels like therapy, asking the right follow-up question.

[@thefrankster875]

Legit shows up as demon Balor later in the day 😂

[@Mr_Waffle.]

I didn't realise WWE ran interviews outside of big tv programs and the like. Great catch! I hope Balor can get back to building Lego soon (and becoming universal champion)

[@mvj777]

Great interview! Finn seems like such a genuine guy. Really easy to get behind him

[@DashingPunkSamurai]

Love Finn Balor. The Demon made me take notice, but his constant high performance work rate and style made made me a fan

[@FrequencyFocus108]

Great work Tom, awesome interview!

[@BengShwallock]

And theres the demon, right on smackdown

[@_youngkoala]

This is such a wholesome chat

[@Elpezidente]

Tom is so good at interviews!

[@bangboom1625]

Balor is one of my favourites wrestlers

[@redwolf5047]

“FINN SHOOTS ON AMERICAN CUISINE”

[@minigogz839]

Fav wrestler and fav presenter! What a treat!

[@InfectedChris]

Great interview! You two just bounce off of each other so well! Finn is just such a nice guy too.

[@johncenaFU42]

Tom is perfect for these interviews, so great!

[@annaheeldawes8608]

Wow what a feather in the cap for our Cultaholic boys. Well done gents. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@MikeDrayton91]

This. Is. Awesome. Any fellow Cultaholic folks, correct me if I'm wrong: Is this the first interview they've done with an active WWE star?

[@CJJC42]

Balors personality is the way I wish McGregors was

[@StairwellTheCat]

Fantastic interview both of these guys are absolute class at their jobs. Love this!

[@wyrw]

Great interview and great job Tom

[@Elpezidente]

Such a good interview, loved it.

[@EvaWaffel]

Tom always makes it seem so effortless. A real pro.

[@logankerr8090]

bout time Finn appears on the channel

[@logankerr8090]

love to see Sheamus on here next

[@Megacliff]

What a great interview!

[@coleymissions]

CULTAHOLIC FINALLY GETTING INTERVIEWS😤.

[@bastienclo2388]

Finn is awesome Wwe should keep him and give him great stories💯🔥

[@XxPlatinumChief]

Smh he should be the top face on smackdown

[@CJJC42]

Hope he goes to Aew to be honest. His best work was in Japan when he had full control of his character. WWE won’t give him that

[@McCrispyTaco]

My favorite wrestler.

[@kalharpatel4784]

Ur a rlly good interviewer

[@kalharpatel4784]

I wish all wrestling companies helped each other rather than competing...hope so one day...

[@broodbynature]

This is brilliant! Well done, Tom!

[@jpsweeney6833]

Much love my Irish brother 🇮🇪☘️👍

[@Anima6six6]

He said "You know" nearly every other word lol

[@facejobby]

Most people have some sort of verbal crutch, so to speak. I know another Irish guy joined everything with the phrase 'in a sense'. Others use like. Me I'm just more of en 'errrrrrrrrr....' guy.

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Prince Devitt vs Kenny Omega would be all time great dream match

[@tizianovergati1004]

Already seen in NJPW.

[@akray4044]

Great work again Tom. Loved the video

Great interview Tom, really enjoyed this!

Great conversation!!!!

Tom could interview a brick wall and it would still be interesting

What a legend

Huuuge get for Tom and the Culty lads!

WAITING FOR BALLOR TO BEING THE ELITE

[@codyboyle8336]

Great work Tom. Keep it up

[@ukiuki3834]

Look at Tom being a big boy

[@grimreaper1542]

Finn being 40 is more of a shock than CM Punk returning

[@SpartanMikey]

Holy shit Tom. Come a long way since you worked with me at Game!!! When did you start working for Cultaholic??? I STILL WANT MY HAMMY BACK BITCH!!!!!

[@Braincleaner]

How long till The Prince is All Elite? :)

[@emanueltwr]

Tom with the scoops, that's what's up.

[@chrissayeranderson5710]

Looks happy and healthy.

[@branthall1787]

Honestly, Finn saying Koko B. Ware was the first wrestler to really grip his attention is so much more refreshing than the standard cookie cutter answers.

[@LiozD31]

everyone forgot about finn balor vs bray wyatt sister abigail

[@kalharpatel4784]

He's so sweet

[@DIDuJUSTgetQSed]

Am I the only one that can’t believe Finn is 40?

[@facejobby]

Based on Tom's question, aside from the number of other people saying the same thing in the comments; no.

[@shanestephens4728]

Well, FinnTom is my new favourite. 🤷🏻‍♂️❤️

[@shinraninja]

holy shit u got 2 WWE stars interviews wow

[@pierrelemagnifique205]

DAMNED HOW BUFF IS FINN
