Finn Balor on How Conor McGregor Would Fare in WWE

WWE Raw star Finn Balor recently appeared on Sports Illustrated Now, and had the following to say on how UFC Champion Conor McGregor would fare in WWE:

Balor was asked how he feels “The Notorious” one would do in WWE and pointed to the UFC Lightweight Champion’s charisma and athleticism as reasons why he feels he would be successful in the sports entertainment business.

“I think he’s a natural fit, to be honest with ya,” said Balor. “He’s a natural showman, he’s an incredible athlete, probably one of the best athletes on the planet. I think given the opportunity to come to the WWE, I think he would thrive.”

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films.
