Finn Balor was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated. During the interview, he spoke on a wide variety of topics.
One of these topics was about Finn’s recent heel turn on NXT television. Last week’s episode ended after a shocking moment where Finn turned on Johnny Gargano.
Here is what Balor had to say about the crowd reaction to that segment:
That was emotion. It’s very easy to walk out and get a reaction from a crowd, get a pop or a ‘This is awesome!’ or a ‘Holy s—!’ But to generate shock and create real emotion is something that is very rare.
At the end of the TV show, they hit my music. When I went backstage, the producer told me that the only reason they hit my music was because there was zero audible noise in the venue. People were so in shock that there was no noise, and they were afraid that was going to translate poorly on TV, so they hit the music.
The plan was to go out to boos, but that’s not what we got. We got pure, emotional silence.
What did you think of Balor’s turn? Let me know in the comment section below.
