I remember that in December of last year, I'd written an article about WWE Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley aka Bully Ray, and Dolph Ziggler.

In the article, I'd noted how Ray explained in detail why Ziggler keeps losing so many matches despite being considered a highly-respected performer in WWE.

Ray revealed that the biggest reason behind the WWE booking Ziggler to lose so many matches, is because "The Show-Off" is a victim of "the curse of the worker" -- In simple words, it means that if a wrestler is a "good worker", and can wrestle a great match against any style of opponent; then the bosses of the wrestling organization will probably book him/her in too many random matchups.

In the end, the "good worker" ends up losing way too many times, and resultantly, the fans don't take him/her seriously!

The reason I narrated the aforementioned story, is because Finn Balor -- just like Dolph Ziggler -- is one of the most naturally-talented performers in the business today, who can work a great match against any kind of opponent.

As strange as it may sound, this is one of the biggest reasons behind Balor being booked in way too many random matches, and losing the majority of them (PS: Remember when Kane randomly returned to WWE, and pinned Balor "clean" on the October 23rd, 2017 episode of Monday Night RAW? The curse is real!)...
