A brawler with brass knuckles narrates WWE's most underrated era. Belfast attitude included.
During this era of the brand split, we began seeing promos shot at an Irish castle, featuring an intriguing figure. This guy would debut in January, get some gold around his waist, and work the “Smackdown” brand in the WWE. Dave Finlay is that guy, and he’s our guide back to the year 2006 in the world’s biggest federation. Finaly would also agent for the the WWE, as well as train, so he’s got a very unique perspective of life in the federation, both on camera and off. Come back with us just a few years, and see life from inside the BLUE side of the WWE.
Acting
Finlay's natural storytelling—no script, just scars.
Production
Those castle promos aged like fine Guinness.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Finlay's 'Dublin Destroyer' castle promos were shot at Huntington Castle in County Carlow—same estate used for 1960s gothic horror films.
As both performer and agent, Finlay uniquely bridges the 'rasslin' era and modern WWE—he helped train Trish Stratus, John Cena, and countless others while still taking bumps.
