In an interview with The Score out of Ireland, WWE NXT Superstar Finn Balor commented on joining the WWE, learning at the WWE Performance Center, the NXT schedule and more.
Highlights of the interview are below:
On joining the WWE and finally being part of the company: “It’s kind of like the culmination of 14 years hard work. At the beginning, I just wanted to have a wrestling match and I did that in England, I just took it step by step and to be here in WWE, it’s a real feeling of achievement, but now that I’m here, I want to achieve more, so this is the beginning of a whole new chapter for me. It’s been an incredible experience so far and I’m just looking forward to seeing what happens in the future. WWE is the biggest wrestling company in the world and it is that for a reason.”
On the WWE Performance Center and learning more about himself: “The coaches here include Billy Gunn, Matt Bloom, Norman Smiley and Terry Taylor, so there’s just a wealth of experience to learn from, it’s really been like the floodgates have opened for me. The amount I’ve learned in the last three or four months here has surpassed what I learned in the past three or four years before that.”
On the WWE NXT schedule: “The schedule here is manic, we’re working six days a week, we train in the ring three hours in the morning and an hour and a half in the weight room in the afternoon Monday to Friday. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we have shows in the evening where we’re competing, so there’s very little free time to get home and at the moment, it’s all eyes on the prize and training to build my career in NXT.”
