bad promos, bad matches, and an overly forced anti-USA gimmick in 2017.

Now were getting a title match no one is interested in seeing because Cena vs Nakamura will most likely outclass whatever is going to happen at Summerslam.

Only the Singh brothers and their insane bumping is making this slightly watchable.

just sayin.

I mean they finally moved him outside of his Orton feud. Mahal is good just WWE hasn't done anything.

Whether or not WWE captures the India market will determine whether Jinder is a flop or not.
Tbh, WWE has done a good job of making him feel like a star. I just don't think Mahal is talented enough to make it work on his end.

JBL was actually entertaining though.


Yeah like he was such an asshole you had to hate him and that border promo would make people complain to hell on twitter today - honestly he played a great heel that made you want him beat - Jinder could have easily been any other person but JBL owner his assholeness
Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world then explore the power to change it.

Mahal is good


Dude is awful and has always been awful.

He's just in shape now. He's nothing but a prop in their push to india. He's still meh to below average in the ring

His promos are garbage. He sounds like he's whispering and says nothing of substance.

He's got a cool entrance tho
The night brims with defiled scum,and is permeated by their rotten stench.
Just think. Now you're all set to hunt and kill to your heart's content.
Man he sucks...but he looks good! :D
We're so happy we can hardly count!

Jinder's booking is quickly losing my interest, and I was a huge supporter of the whole thing to start. He has been booked like a joke, and their one chance to show that he could hang with the ME talent they used to let Randy beat the fuck out of 3 guys and nosell the Cobra Clutch entirely.

They have no idea what they are doing and need to just take the belt off of him. This could have been great, but I would rather have another Cena or Orton run than this.

I just wish he was a little more louder in his promos. Im liking Mahal as champ (just like how I Liked JBL as champ because it was something completely unexpected yet captivating) but cutting a promo to an entire arena in a low, monotone voice kills it for me.
What are you sayings? JBI's commentary was....THE LAST RIDE THE LAST RIDE!!- thatdambgood

This.

Anyone comparing Jinder to Bradshaw is crazy. JBL may not actually be a wrestling god but he was entertaining and had better buildups with various opponents such as Taker, Eddie, Angle, Booker, Angle, Cena. Jinder has only wrestled Orton and all the matches were meh

His matches (other than against Eddie.) were complete mehs to downright terrible. Jinder will get more buildup with time

The problem with Jinders run so far has been Orton. Nothing against Orton, but nobody cares if he wins the title, it wouldn't mean anything. And because of that, it makes it impossible for Jinder to get any heat. Especially with Orton coming off that terrible Bray Wyatt feud. It's just a bad matchup. Jinder needs to go against someone like Styles, great in the ring, the crowd loves him and wants to see him win, and he's smaller than Jinder, which makes Jinder look more impressive.

Can't blame them when the audience are the ones going boooo foreign guy


This. People CONSTANTLY bitch about Jinder using the Anti-USA gimmick...but the audiences fall for it literally every single time. Jinder himself didn't even want to use it, but had to relent when he actually got reactions for it that he never had prior.
Burn...let it all burn.
Why do people keep bringing up JBL? Let's take a closer look at Bradshaw, circa 2004:

* Had been in WWE for several years
* Part of a successful, asskicking tag team prominently featured in main event storylines
* Tag Team Champion
* Hardcore Champion
* European Champion

Compare Jinder Mahal:

* Typical initial push with jobber squashes
* Fell down the card
* 3MB Jobber
* Tag Team with Rusev, whose stock had fallen by then
* Suddenly #1 Contender, lol
* WWE Champion

But that just makes it worse
1. He doesn't get nearly the reactions of other guys who have done this because his is one of the most stupid versions yet. 
2. They would boo him anyway no matter what he did because he's a heel. He failed to get s reaction with this stupid shit just like daivari and that other middle eastern cruiserweight until he became number one contender
3. Anyone would boo foreign heel gimmick. It doesn't really say anything about the wrestler. We have 3 of this right now and Jinder is the worst and most nonsensical. In fact it does nothing but stop Jinder from having his own identity. He's just "another foreign heel except this time you don't really give s shit" he pretty much has nothing else going for him except a cool ass theme


So yeah. I do blame them for using this gimmick. In no way we're they boxed in.

He has. They brought in Khali to get give him the India rub. Khali is over in India. Always has been and will be. Unfortunately, they weren't trying to move into India when he still had a semblance of knees.

Both pushes were ridiculously out of nowhere, no matter what anyone is trying to say.
Not changing this sig until Sami Zayn wins a world title or gets released 5/13/17
Previous: Not changing this sig until the Undertaker retires 10/19/10-4/2/17
The only reason Mahal is Champ is to bring in the Indian viewers and Network subscribers, if they were planning to increase the number of viewers in say, Australia, they'd have an Australian WWE Champion, or if they wanted to boost the Japanese numbers, Shinsuke Nakamura would be Champ, and Asuka would be the main roster Women's Champ.

Honestly for me now is the time to tell. Orton is a shitty fucking black hole.

Anyone else with Orton's string of Wellness violations and other strikes against his name would've been terminated years ago, but because HHH fancies him, and because his Dad and Granddad are in the Hall of Fame, he gets away with it.

The crowd cared so much for his big match with Taker that they did the wave. It was terrible and embarrassing to watch. The rematch culminated with the debut of Heidenrape. Seriously.
JBL hardly had any interaction with Angle. He tricked Angle into stripping naked in front of Big Show's girlfriend, then they had a terrible match that Big Show interfered in.
JBL/Booker was a snoozefest and the build-up consisted of, "We were friends in Texas, but then you went to WCW!" It was boring and nobody gave a **** about an obscure "friendship" from 12 years ago.
Yes, I agree that the build up for his match against Cena was good, but only because we knew that JBL's terrible title reign was finally coming to an end. The match itself was trash, though.

Smackdown in 2004 was much worse than Smackdown now. Back when JBL was champ, people often compared him to Diesel because a boring ratings killer had been holding the belt for way too long. That was an insult to Diesel, honestly. JBL was much worse.

If Cena wins and we get Cena/Jinder at SummerSlam, that match alone will be far more intriguing than every single thing JBL did.

JBL's push was as "out of nowhere" as Mark Henry's push.

It isn't uncommon for tenures vets to get big pushes especialy when they are already well known.

Only in 2017 WWE is it so that John Cena will have to face Shinsuke Nakamura for a chance to face a glorified jobber for the WWE Championship...on free TV....in a match that will be interrupted by commercials.

SMFH
JBL sucks.

He was good in the Acolytes/APA as the straight man to Ron Simmons, but on his own, he does 2 moves and has limited mic skills IMHO, but the lack of mic skills is not totally his fault, Texans are known to talk funny anyway.

And his current commentary is one of the many reasons I record Raw every week so I can fast forward through the rubbish bits.

His promos are awesome, better than any Cean "JA CANT BALEEB DIZ" gets taken down by AJ, or Orton "I'm like a snake, I strike...*18 second pause* when I'm ready-DEA-*gets a Sister Abigail*

Singh Brothers, both great CWs, acting as security/support. Take awesome bumps.
Jinder himself, jacked as fuck, ripped as hell, screams into the fucking mic that makes us all go deaf, has The Great Khali (who is great : / ) come down and literally ***** the match. Also has a based theme. Also based catch phrase.

"I will now talk to my people, in MY native language of PUNJABI..."

*Miztourage runs down, to a humongous cheer, everyone thinking they will beat up Jinder and the Singh brothers. All of a sudden:
