#3 Hardcore fan: Finn Balor
It shouldn't take a genius to figure out that even before Finn Balor joined WWE, the Irishman loved wrestling. On the indies, Balor made a huge name for himself as Prince Devitt, competing in New Japan Pro Wrestling and loved wrestling from an early age in his native Ireland.
As a child, Balor originally didn't watch WWE, but only because the only wrestling available to him at the time was World of Sport:
"That was kind of the British wrestling that was still on TV back home in Ireland at the time," he told SLAM! Sports in 2015. "It wasn't until I was about eight or nine that Sky (TV) came to Ireland and we got WWE."
Hooked, Balor would spend the rest of his life working to become a wrestler and gain a legion of fans in the process.
