Let the Demon loose or discover his 'Prince'ly past?

It's a real suspicious pattern when main roster management just can't get former NJPW stars right. Or maybe that's why New Japan has been better for the better part of a decade. WWE's completely forgotten how to present it stars especially faces in a flattering light. Their also unfair and unjust when it comes to individuals with injury issues. You work your stars so much, what do you expect?

Nowhere is WWE's failure and importantly complacent evident than in Finn Balor. His Demon persona is so intriguing, that it's just that. It's cool facepaint that for some reason gives Balor an edge. Yet it's never really explained why he doesn't use the Demon often or the inherent psychology behind the character and the extra strength that comes from it.

Breaking Vince Russo and Jim Cornette update HERE.

If that were justified then maybe with Balor, WWE might not have to look to the perfection he was in New Japan. This is the man that invented the Bullet Club, on the back of an efficient heel run as the Real Rock 'N' Rolla. His unmatched charisma and cool heel style was a revelation.

Sure it's unique for Japanese audiences and not American ones, but there are elements especially the persona that Balor could channel into something better. They tried earlier this year, seemingly pairing Balor with his Good Brothers (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson). Then something happened and the trio is adrift on separate brands.

The grinning version of Balor might be popular but he could be so much more with just a tweak. Though being honest rather than just leaning on an old persona, fans would love to see the Demon established in a fascinating story.
