#7 Finn Balor
For Finn Balor, professional wrestling was all he ever wanted to do. Practising in his backyard as a child, he got his big break in 2000 at just 18 years of age and immediately showed great promise. It was with NWA’s UK Association Promotion, Hammerlock, that he got his first big opportunity, and he worked the NWA circuit for seven years.
From there, he went on to New Japan Pro Wrestling under the name Prince Devitt, and the rest, as they say, is history.
