Quotes from Finn Balor

Everyone that watches wrestling as a kid dreams of being a wrestler for WWE.

Nobody thought Finn Balor would be in the WWE. Here I am.

I came to WWE to be on 'WrestleMania' and to be in a 'WrestleMania' main event.

I came up in the U.K., which is a very catch-as-catch-can style, and then I somehow ended up in Japan and spent eight years there learning strong style. I got to spend some time in Mexico learning the lucha libre style, and the WWE is a hybrid style of everything mixed together.

I can honestly say it was the greatest decision of my life coming to WWE.

It was a big gamble to come to WWE, and it was a big gamble to come to NXT. Honestly, the gamble paid off.

Just the extent of the reach that the WWE Universe has around the world is incredible.

NXT is its own kind of animal, and you're never quite sure how much of that transfers over into WWE and into Monday Night Raw.

When kids tune in and see Jordan Devlin, Trent Seven, Pete Dunne, Wolfgang on the WWE Network, and then they see a poster at the town hall for their local wrestling show, they're gonna say, 'Oh my God, that's Pete Dunne. I wanna go see him.'

I think everybody in WWE and NXT want to be involved in WrestleMania. I can huff and puff and push all I want, but that's something you just can't rush.

Just remember that when I went to New Japan, nobody knew who I was. And I've done okay.

I found, going to Japan, working in the dojos, brushing up on the fundamentals, that's where I really mastered what I was doing.

I spent a lot of time in Japan. To me, I felt like my career was kind of marooned out there. I didn't realize the extent of the reach that New Japan had in America and around the world.

I had to use a lot of the lessons I learned from fighting Samoa Joe and apply them to Bray Wyatt.

Myself, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows are best friends. We travel together, we train together, we eat together, and we do a lot of things together.

Japan took me in as one of their own and treated me like one of their own.

You can be a big fish in a small pond, but you're only going to be competing against people at that level.

I'm a big fan of seeing smaller guys vs. big men.

When you're in NXT, you're really fighting and trying to dig down deep and chase your dream.

I've always got a couple of tricks up my sleeve.

If you ever have a question or a problem, if you approach Triple H, he might say the most-obvious thing, but it was the last thing you were thinking. As soon as he says it, you're thinking, 'Oh my, why didn't I think of that?' He's very smart, and we're very lucky to have him at our disposal in NXT.

The 'Demon King' takes out a lot out of Finn Balor the man emotionally and mentally.

I do enjoy a level of intensity that I bring when I'm the Demon, but it's a mindset that takes a couple of days to get into; it's not something I can do every day.

I'm very much in a mindset that I take myself out of anything that I'm not involved in.
