Finn Balor recently appeared as a guest on “The Kris Fade Show” for an in-depth interview. Featured below are some of the highlights.
On if he would like to face Kurt Angle in his Farewell Match at WrestleMania 35: “Absolutely, yeah. Obviously, Kurt is someone I’ve looked up to my whole career. Someone I’ve built quite a good relationship with actually in recent years and someone that I’d love to wrestle. I believe his recent retirement speech may mean that that is not possible, but I wish Kurt all the best in his future.”
On wrestling Brock Lesnar: “He’s a big man. People underestimate how big Bobby Lashley is too. He is fast! I’ve always been intrigued by the David vs. Goliath-style matches. As a kid, watching Andre, Big Show, Kane, Undertaker. So for me getting to step in and challenge myself against those bigger guys is like, something that I enjoy and I thrive on.”
On the current generation of wrestlers having a better lifestyle than the wrestlers of past generations: “Yeah, I think definitely all these stories of times gone by where it was definitely a lot more Rock N’ Roll. I think the industry has changed, definitely, the scheduled has changed, where it’s a lot more organized from a corporate level. We’re protected a lot more as athletes right now. I think its definitely changed for the better and the Superstars are definitely reaping the rewards of a better lifestyle.”
On who he would like to face at WrestleMania 35: “I would really love to fight Undertaker at WrestleMania, but given that fact that I lost the title on Monday, I’m going to attempt to convince Stephanie – who I know is here at the World Games – to get me a rematch against Bobby Lashley for the IC Title.”
