Outlook - After twenty years of wrestling successfully in Europe, Fit Finlay was finally establishing himself in America. He had been considered one of the best talents in the world in the early 1990s, but WCW was never sure how to use him to his full potential. Finlay's physical style made for entertaining midcard battles, but they took their toll on him. After getting involved in WCW's "Hardcore Division," Finlay almost lost his leg and seemingly ended his career. When the WWF signed up WCW talent, Finlay was amongst those who came on board without a definitive place. He found a great niche training the Divas to wrestle and developing those with backgrounds and the product was impressive. When the roster began thinning out in 2005, the company turned to the veterans to compliment the underdeveloped youngsters. Finlay moved up the card quickly and has really shined in his early 40s. The WWE began pushed him into an upper midcard slot where he is able to put over top stars in great matches and elevate other midcarders as well. Even when he was surrounded with by some ridiculousness, Finlay has managed to become credible again in his thirty year career.
