NXT Champion Finn Balor was recently interviewed at the San Diego Comic Con about his new action figure in the United States, as well as his trademark body paint look. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On his first U.S. action figure: “Excited and surprised. I wasn’t aware I was getting a figure until today, and I wasn’t actually aware I was coming today until yesterday at 3 pm. I’m as surprised as anyone.”
On his unique body paint look: “It goes back to when I was in Japan, and I was looking for something new to do outside the box. I toyed with the idea of wearing a full bodysuit or a mask. It was originally meant to be a once-off for the Tokyo Dome. It got a great reaction, and one show led to another, and it became a whole big thing.”
On using the body paint look in WWE: “When I left the independents and New Japan, I thought I was leaving that part of my personality behind me. When I arrived here in WWE, I had a meeting and I laid it all on the table and they said ‘we want you to try it here sometime.’”
