WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross Advocates for Finn Balor’s Demon Persona to Remain a Rare Spectacle WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently discussed Finn Balor’s Demon character on his Grilling JR podcast, emphasizing that the persona’s effectiveness relies on its infrequency. Ross praised the character’s visual impact and its ability to captivate audiences when used sparingly. “I like the Demon character,” Ross said. “But I don’t want to see it every week.” He highlighted the character’s strategic value, noting that its rarity ensures it remains a standout moment rather than a routine feature. Ross also commended Balor’s professionalism and work ethic, describing him as one of WWE’s most reliable performers. “I like the kid. I think he’s reliable, he works hard. He’s very skilled,” Ross added. “You never hear him hurting somebody or doing something stupid.” The Hall of Famer stressed that Balor’s integrity and skill complement the Demon persona, making it a compelling and unpredictable element in WWE programming. The Demon character’s recent revival occurred at WrestleMania 42, where Balor used the persona during a Street Fight match against former Judgment Day ally Dominik Mysterio. This marked the first time Balor had employed the Demon gimmick in three years. Balor himself has previously expressed a preference for keeping the character unpredictable and reserved for special occasions rather than being heavily advertised. Reports earlier this year indicated WWE had initially planned to reintroduce the Demon persona for a scheduled match between Balor and Mysterio at SummerSlam. However, those plans were altered, and the character’s return was delayed until WrestleMania. Ross argued that maintaining the Demon’s rarity is crucial to preserving its impact.#wwe #wrestlemania_42 #finn_balor #wwe_hall_of_famer_jim_ross #demon_character
