This is a good point. I think because of McGregor's larger than life persona, people forget he's really not a big guy at all. His current UFC bio lists him at 5'9" and 155 pounds. That's actually...well...small. Balor is both taller and weighs more than McGregor does, but Balor is tiny and Conor isn't? Doesn't make much sense. If you're unfamiliar with UFC, they use weight classes. McGregor isn't fighting guys the size of Lesnar, and the original guy didn't say Finn is too small to believably fight guys his own size. So McGregor comparisons are misguided and foundless. Either way, its wrestling. It's fake. Balor and Lesnar are good enough to tell a story that ends with Balor overcoming the beast. For me, the embarrassment will be in watching Brock Lesnar taking Finn's questionable blackface makeup seriously. They seem not to be focusing on that demon stuff as much lately so I'm hoping it will be more sparingly used going forward, but they'd have to do it for him facing Brock. If you're going to try to talk down to me, I think it would be best if you first understood what I was actually talking about since you clearly missed the point entirely in your attempt to win internet points by "making me look stupid". All I was speaking to was the fact that nobody ever calls Conor MacGregor a small guy, yet he is both shorter and lighter than Finn Balor, and this is the same Finn Balor that I've seen several people on this board across multiple threads claim is too small to be believable as a Heavyweight world champion. I made no allusion to anybody's ability or inability to defeat any other fighter in a real or staged competition. So, next time. Keep it to yourself unless you understand what's going on.

Conor McGregor is literally too small to be a Heavyweight world champion, let alone a believable one, hence why using him as "evidence" is silly. The reason people don't refer to McGregor as small is because he doesn't fight in the heavyweight division. If Conor was going up against Lesnar sized guys, people would obviously refer to his significantly smaller stature. Think before posting. If Finn Balor is fighting TJ Perkins, people aren't going to say he's too small to believably best him.

I think he will face(and beat) Balor at the new ppv with the crappy name. Then at Summerslam he will face Strowman and beat him there. I hope they reconsider having Reigns vs Lesnar as the main event of next year's wrestlemania. If I wasn't going to summerslam I'd want them to get it over with at that show, but I am so I don't want that to be the main event of the show I'm going to. Then again I could sell the ticket.

I think it could be really interesting to see Balor vs Lesnar, I mean yeah Balor is tiny compared to Brock, and it doesnt seem possible that he could win, however they could have Lesnar come out week after week, or more realistically, every other week and destroy Balor, at the PPV Lesnar wins, Balor holds on for a while eating German suplexes etc, but eventually takes a loss.
On raw there's no Lesnar or Balor, the week after Lesnar is out with Heyman bragging when Balor attempts to attack lesnar but gets wrecked again, week after Finn earns 1 contendership, go home show before the PPV Lesnar is in the ring, lights go out, come back on Balor is on the top rope, hits a drop kick lesnar goes down for the first time in their feud, but springs right back up as Balor makes his escape, leaving for the first time unscathed in their feud. At the PPV Balor brings out the demon and wins.
Lesnar doesnt get hurt cause he's 1-1 Balor gets the demon gimmick even more over

Remember the walking zombie who won every year at the same event that people didn't like Brock beating because they didn't think it made sense?
Yup.

I've no desire for a crappy Brock Lesnar match that involves repetitive suplexes.
Put him in the ring with someone like Joe or Strowman because maybe then he will wrestle a proper match.

Supposedly the "current working plan" is Braun vs Brock at Great Balls of Fire and then again at Summerslam.

It better be Balor or Rollins. I almost could see a 3 way with those 3 at SS.

The lack of acknowledgement to Lesnar is pretty concerning, to be honest. When he had his unbeatable WWE Championship reign last time around, it was refreshing and gave the Title such importance and credibility again, it felt special whenever Lesnar defended it as it was a new situation that it wasn't defended every single month. This time however, it's just painfully obvious that they would rather just keep Lesnar away from television full stop as they know if they don't then they'll have to have him face the likes of Finn Balor who they know the fans would much rather see take the Title. Instead, they'll keep him off TV, and most likely just have him face Rollins again in a Match where they know nobody will expect Rollins to win, followed by Strowman, followed by eventually just dropping it to Roman.
Personally, if I could book, I'd have him go over Strowman at the next PPV with Strowman pushing Lesnar very close until Lesnar ultimately wins with an F5. I'd have Lesnar vs Balor at Summerslam, with Lesnar absolutely dismantling Balor to pieces. Have one or two filler PPV Title Matches with Rollins & Bray Wyatt, then have The Beast vs The Demon at Wrestlemania where Balor overcomes Lesnar this time around in full Demon mode.
