JD McDonagh Says Finn Bálor Was The Game-Changer For His Career Path

WWE star JD McDonagh appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he discussed a number of topics, including how he looked up to Finn Bálor as an inspiration when he was coming up in the wrestling world.

McDonagh said, “Sheamus was the first guy that, certainly for my generation, the first guy that broke out of Ireland, broke into the States. But that wasn’t really a huge help to me because he also was 6’4” and looked like a Celtic Warrior. The guy that made me stop and go, oh this is a possibility, was Finn [Balor]. He was walking that path ahead of me … he was just another guy from Bray that came through the same school I did, the same mats.”

On Lyra Valkyria:

“She’s killing it. She’s the IC Champion of the world. I love that girl, she’s awesome.”
