#2 Because Finn Balor has not been given enough time to develop his promo skills in a "PG environment"

If you've been following Finn Balor's career since his days in NJPW, you won't be surprised to see that most of the promos the man known as Fergal Devitt or Prince Devitt used to cut in Japan, were nowhere close to being PG!

Balor is actually very good in the promo department, however, just like Dean Ambrose who first made a name for himself on the indies as the crazy trash-talking Jon Moxley, before coming to WWE -- Balor too isn't used to cutting promos on a PG-rated show!

Remember how many swear words Balor and Moxley (Ambrose) used in their promos outside the WWE?

Well, unfortunately, it was around July of 2008, that the WWE changed its programming from catering to the adult 18-35 male demographic, to viewers of all ages, including children...I still remember being surprised when the July 22nd, 2008 episode of SmackDown was aired with the PG rating.

What's really important for us to understand here, is that when a performer such as Balor or Ambrose comes into a company like the WWE and is forced to cut promos that are suitable to be viewed by everyone (including children), they tone down the genuine emotion, passion and free-flowing trash talk in their promos!

One of the biggest reasons Balor hasn't been able to shine in the promo department in the WWE is because he hasn't been given a decent amount of airtime to carefully develop his PG promo skills on RAW.

Needless to say, that has negatively affected his brand in WWE, as most casual fans don't know that this man can indeed cut a fiery promo...The result? Balor's stock drops even more, and the bosses keep booking him to lose...
