I had typed out this really long, thought out response, then my laptop died. Anyway, the gist of it was that although I think he is a phenomenal wrestler, he rarely utilizes the psychology needed to mix up what seems to be his "template." Reason I say this is because it's not just that he uses the same moves against all of his opponents, but that he uses them in the same order/pattern and at the same pace. There's no surprises with him. And I know he's capable of pulling off some unforgettable psychology, like when he pulled out all the stops during the Hideo match where upon seeing an opening, used up his entire supply of giving a shit to deliver that dropkick that sent Hideo flying into the corner like he'd been hit with a cannonball, hitting the turnbuckle so hard that his head became a blur of black hair and whiplash. He hit him so hard his head turned into a photoshop filter. Anyway, that became the "holy shit" highlight for the next few weeks due to a combination of psychology, timing, and ring awareness. So, it's not like he lacks an understanding of psychology, but sees it more as a tool he'll use to sell a high point in the story/match. I know that is how a lot of wrestlers work, and it maybe that's what the WWE pushes their performers to do, so I'm probably wrong in all of this. It's just, to me, personally, I really really really really like Finn, but I wish he would put some kind of meaning behind his movements in each of his matches to really make them unique from one another instead of just using his offensive "template" to take a match from start to finish. I know I'm going off on a tangent here but hopefully this makes sense. Now as far as the demon get-up, it just lost it's mystique in my eyes because the second time he came out in it, nothing was different except for a few minor details. It still looks badass but the best way I can explain my indifference toward the demon pain/entrance is to use an analogy. Ok, so take the Tombstone for example. For years and years it was considered one of the most lethal finishers and in more recent years was considered to be one of, if not the most devastating "end-your-shit" finisher of all time. So when HBK kicked out of it at WM 25, it was a genuine moment of pure shock and overwhelming excitement. It was one of those moments that make a match unforgettable because it was so unexpected. In my own opinion, that moment and everything that happened up to the point where he kicked out, and the final minutes all the way to the finish were probably the only reasons that event qualified as a Wrestlemania. Then they did it again the following year. It had already been done, so it didn't come as much of a shock (at least not as much as the prior year), but it still fit the narrative as it was basically a continuation of the match that took place the year before. However, the next year, it happened again, but with Triple H kicking out. The spot then lost a lot of what made it special because A.) The Tombstone's stock dropped as being THE move, and B.) There was now two guys who'd kicked out of it, devaluing an important part of what made the Shawn/Taker Mania saga feel special. The next year, the move was kicked out of yet again, to the surprise of absolutely no one. It had now become a trope, a cliche', a required spot that would happen in nearly every one of Taker's later WM matches. It was no longer something special, but something standard, and in my opinion, should have not been done again unless the story they were telling was more significant or memorable than Shawn/Taker at WM. I know that was long-winded, but hopefully it'll help me explain why the demon paint will (if it hasn't already) lose it's mystique, which is a lot of what makes it special. The anticipation of seeing something fresh and cool is not as prominent because we're already used to it. Little changes here and there like adding wings or wearing a top hat like Jack the Ripper are cool, but aren't significant enough to pique our curiosity. Like looking forward to Triple H's entrances at WM, and at 29 he just re-uses the one from 28 and it's like, "Again? well that's lame." Yea, that. Ok, I'm gonna shut up now because this is even longer than the original.
