What's the deal with Finn Balor always doing this pose in pictures?
Too lazy to find more examples right now, but in every single photo I see of him "being himself", he is doing this pose. Here he can be seen being joined by others doing his pose......... Quote:

Lose the smile and you can guard the Buckingham Palace, Finn.

I think it's supposed to be "cute" but I find it very off putting and annoying for some reason.

Just something random he does for fun and part of his laid back approach to life.

If he violates the wellness policy they could make him stand like this and get obliterated in a few matches and secure a few "shortest match" records.

Now that I think about this, he very literally stands like a dick in those pics.

Makes him seem boyish, and kind of obnoxious. To each their own, but I don't think it was funny or cute the first time, and repetition doesn't usually help things like that.

Can you imagine having to explain to a non fan these pictures? "Yeah I know he looks like a dork, but really hes a tough dude. Im serious. I know hes 180 pounds, but when he gets mad he puts on body paint and becomes a demon and...hey where are you going? hello?"

Who the fuck cares how he poses in pictures? Do you see all the cool shit he's doing in those pictures? He's loving life. Get off his nuts.

"Who the fuck cares what Donald Trump does in photos?" "Who cares what Tom Hanks does in public?" You may not care, but people aren't wrong for being like "That's dumb" when they see someone with profile do shit they think is dumb. No one is saying he's a rotten dude or anything like that. It's just annoying and he's put it into the public sphere. |

They're candid photos of dude living his actual life. It has nothing to do with his character or persona on screen. You guys are looking way too fucking deep into this. He's not a fucking president. He's a character on a TV show who paints himself and fights in underwear. Come off it.

Do you think that this pose that he always does is going to have any negative impact on business whatsoever?

I didn't see you criticize him at all. I was talking to Noid/everyone else who gives a fucking shit about this pose. What's wrong with it? It's not hurting anything. I'd like to know the story behind it for trivia sake, but then it's just that. Trivial. Unimportant.

Don't mind him doing it in his private life, but think social media in general takes away mystique of wrestlers. Contributes to there being no larger than life characters.
Would imagine that if Taker were around today we would have him smiling on social media while meeting fans and the like and it wouldn't really be the same. The way wrestlers interact with fans has definitely changed and it's ok not to like that aspect of it. It makes it harder for me to get lost in it all when I see Braun Strowman smiling like a goofball. Some people like it and think it's great that we see more of them, that is absolutely fine too. To each his own. |

There's a video somewhere of Braun Strowman reading the lead part of Juno, which I think is hilarious.
What's the point in them insulting our intelligence anymore? |

I can see what you mean by "insulting intelligence" but I just see it differently. Whenever I watch wrestling, I want to believe that Strowman really is a badass. I want to suspend that disbelief and see heated promos between him and Lesnar. The match sells more tickets if people see them as two monsters.
In my opinion, Lesnar is still so successful because he is a legit badass and he is believable. People tune in to see what will happen in his matches. He is very well protected as a character by Heyman creatively, as I understand it, and I think it works. Undertaker was successful for 25 years because people wanted to see the Undertaker, not Mark Calaway. I just think that sometimes knowing less and seeing less can be a good thing |

I miss when my rasslers would drink a bottle of Jack, do disgusting amounts of drugs, put on a wrestling clinic hours later and then follow it all up by fucking more strange pussy than we could ever imagine. When rasslers were Goddamn men. Not just pretending to be for a few minutes a week.
