Finn Balor has discussed the difficulty of being away from his family while chasing his pro wrestling dream, as well as the conflicting emotions he feels pursuing his dream while being far away from them.Balor spoke on Stephanie McMahon's "What's Your Story?" podcast about how he was determined to do everything in his power to succeed in the business, but how it has become difficult to balance family life with his career now."Earlier in my career, when you're chasing the dream, and you're trying to be successful, and you're trying to make money to get yourself, I'm sacrificing time with my family to like follow my dream and achieve these targets that I've set myself,"Balor said. "I've achieved more than I could ever have imagined in this business, and I've reached all these like targets and goals that I've ever imagined. Really, once I won the Universal title like that one time, for me, that was the top of the mountain."Balor then explained that he began to question his dedication once he made enough money to become financially stable and comfortable. While his family is home in Ireland, Balor's job requires him to remain in the United States. "Before, it was a trade-off of: you're not with your family, but you're following your dream. Now, I'm not with my family, but I have my dream and I have like I don't need anything else here. I don't need any more money, I don't need any more success, I don't need any more attention. So why am I doing it?"He pointed out that his wife, journalist Vero Rodrguez, has family in Mexico, and that she is also away from her family to pursue her dream in the United States. Stephanie suggested he move to Mexico to be a part of AAA. He said that he wants to be in WWE, wrestle at the top of the industry, and have the opportunity to compete in major events like WrestleMania.
