jinder is a midcard guy but he was useable but that tag team was big strong and athletic. Why did they get let go?

This SmackDown sucked! The draft was garbage. A few minutes into the show and you'll know everything you should and shouldn't expect from the "HHH Era" of WWE. My all excitement for the product during the road to mania, however forced that was, is now gone. To think there are real people that actually think HHH is some kind of creative genius 😂

the booking for storylines and matches is better. But things like the draft have always been not that good. There is only so much you could ever do with it. Move champions around. Its been over done. ultimately they should drop the draft and just have the gms trade people when they need or want to move someone to the other show. They have been doing drafts since 2002 and the format is over done to the point there is nothing they can do that hasnt already been done 3 times before at least.

The first few years of it 2002 - like 2007 were all fine. After that it varied from ok to meh. But now its a tired gimmick because they have done about everything you can do with a draft format and would just be recycling past used storylines. Only thing they could do new is shorten it and make it just for nxt call ups and main roster talent trades.

Yuvraj Singh (fka Jinder Mahal) could EASILY debut in AEW and begin a program that has him joining Jarrett's goofy stable...only to be the reason that they break up, with Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal going their separate ways after Yuvraj uses Satnam to destroy Jarrett...while Yuvraj Singh becomes the new heel leader of the stable, alongside Satnam Singh and Sonjay Dutt...and this would allow Jeff Jarrett to potentially step away before returning as the General Manager of Dynamite or Collision...as well as allowing Jay Lethal to fly solo and become a proper contender for singles gold. It could also be a good revenge/revival storyline if Jay Lethal began a program with Yuvraj Singh and finally turned baby face. I'd love to see him remind everyone how good of a promo he is and maybe do some storytelling meanwhile to help legitimize his lengthy career as a former world champion while putting over how great that Yuvraj is (sticking it to WWE for being dumb enough to let him go).

Most Indians that watch wrestling don't care about Jinder. He's nowhere near Khali in terms of being over with Indian audience. The ridiculously high viewership for WWE here in India doesn't translate to the business aspect like it does in the US. The TV deal in WWE's case here works very differently than in America. People here aren't going to spend money on things like WWE network, their expensive merchandise and all that. The "high viewership" thing is a myth. Having said that, Jinder was just unfortunate. He could've been an awesome heel without the stereotypical foreign character. But I guess perhaps the WWE management in the "HHH Era" are more in love with the Garganos, the Ricochets and the McDonaghs than potential larger than life characters.

Nobody brings up the facts when Jinder was wwe champion smackdown had the lowest ratings. Vince put the title on him and he failed that simple.

I haven’t watched wrestling in years and at this point, I’d say nobody needs to watch it because these podcasts and things like this that talk about wrestling are way more entertaining, and interesting than the actual sport itself.

I know you won’t respond to this but what’s up with the cardinals jersey? What player is that. Just curious cause I’m a cards fan myself.

Bro, when I heard the news bro, I couldn't believe it bro. I called up my bro and told him bro, did you hear the news bro? He responded, "brrrooooo, no way bro!" WWE is wild bro. It sure is bro, it sure is. #Brosbeforehoes!

If it worked for Gunther, they could have definitely done the same with Jinder Mahal.

It’s incredibly hard for foreign-born wrestlers to get over in WWE. Most American cities just chant “USA” at these guys when they’re busting their ass in the ring. WWE tried to push jinder Ali Veer etc but its hard to get the American audience to invest or buy merch of people with Hindu/Muslim sounding names. Even guys like Gunther or Rusev (previously) have struggled to get over despite being highly successful champions.

Indian population has always loved Roman way more than Jinder.

@@randomkillerx2157 i would agree that he could have been. But Vince did that back then and it killed any chance for him to be taken as anything but the jobber vince hot shit pushed to the title to try and pop numbers in india. And didn't. To prove the point when they booked Jinder to face Rollins for the title even Tony Khan the nerd mark bashed and took shots at Jinder on twitter making a joke of him being in Raw's main event for the title. There was no way to undo the perception of his character in WWE. They tried to get him over in NXT by sending him there with Veer and Sanga. and they tried to restart him a few times on Raw and SD and every time it didnt work. Vince's booking killed him from any chance of getting over and being taken seriously. He would have to leave WWE get over with a different gimmick and go back to ever be anything there because of Vince. Gunther got lucky that by the time he was in a run vince immediately lost power. Because right before Vince lost power gunther's ic title reign was going to end weeks after it began to Nakamura because Vince was gonna bury Gunther for being a NXT HHH guy. Just like he did most of the called up NXT talent over the years. But prior to Summerslam 2022 HHH took over and Gunther retained and held it until mania 40. If Vince wanted someone over he would try to get them over. But he was petty and would bury anyone at a whim. I watched long enough to be able to read when he was burying someone or not. Vince tried tp push Jinder but he did it in a way that made the crowd dislike him for the wrong reasons just like he made them hate Roman for being the chosen corporate guy. Roman recovered from it by coming up with his own heel gimmick and Vince let him do it because he was Roman. Jinder had no way to recover after that forced title run. It was forever burned onto his character in WWE that he was a jobber champion and viewed as a guy that shouldn't have had the belt. Even if he did deserve to have the run the perception is he didnt. Because it was bad booking and not done right. He could have been a good heel champion if it was built up and done right. But because it wasnt it was too late. And with things as fickle as most wrestling fans and especially the marks. That is a characters death sentence in pro wrestling.

I agree. Such a waste. Jinder Mahal could have been a very serious heel vs. Coady. I can't understand this and maybe we'll never know.

Sanga had something going on for himself in NXT for a little while. That Rollins Jinder match earlier this year had the right drama. Can see the point of not getting over to the extent as hoped but they could have filled the same role as Nakamura.

nooo he is canadian , not Indian ...but i still loved his home coming entrance in canada , it was awesome

Indians don't care bout Jinder n Veer... I'm Indian .... nobody here even knows they exist apart from us hardcore fans... Sanga is the well known one, cz he's a famous actor, nd has a very long acting career nd makes a lot of money from movies, the release was good for him, now he can focus on something with much better return of investment .

Usually I'd say that no one really cares about Jinder so if they want to cut expenses and fire him it's a fair game. But in this case it's a bit apsurd. Last 2 times he was on TV he apsolutely smashed it. The segment with The Rock was awesome and the whole thing with the title match against Seth was awesome. For a second he got us convinced (to some extent) that he maybe might have a chance of winning the title just to stick it to Tony Khan. Firing him roght after he's done those 2 angles pretty much perfectly is a bit ridiculous.

There are too many smaller wrestlers today. What happened to the so-called "new era"? We want monsters.

TNA please, sign Jinder Mahal before someone else snatches him and create an all Indian wrestler stable, it's a golden opportunity for a heel group to draw major heat, they would be over so quick, throw in a championship match and you got gold, please, no other company has thought about it before, it's a totally new Idea and with the right people it would skyrocket in popularity, just think of the possibilities, it's money, it's gold, it's ratings, you already have indian talent being underused, put that talent to work, jump on it, only in TNA would such a group work.

WWE creative never knew the Indian audience. They thought by simply making him the champion he would be loved by everyone because of his indian heritage, but they presented him as a heel and a weak coward joke. Indians like their heroes a lot, and it backfired. Not once did they give him any meaningful storylines he was always the stereotypical foreign heel. Jinder's fault was listening to them and not fighting for his character.

Thank you for this. The WWE presented Jinder Mahal as a stereotypical foreign heel who gives anti-America promos when he debuted..... Years later during his promo with the Rock he was still the stereotypical foreign heel. Nothing really changed. His entire career was held back by the WWE creative forcing him to be within the limits, so his growth was hindered. I mean, believe it or not, even people who are not pure white American have different aspects to their personality you can play with. Even generally speaking it seems to be a lame trend to put wrestlers with foreign originals into this limited bracket, automatically making it tougher for them to really break through. Story and character development is everything. The rest follows. Jinder wasn't given much to play with. In short, he was let down by the WWE creative and then he is released. It's unfortunate for Jinder. He was often booked as a jobber too. That's not his fault either. I know Indian fans who were like "Why is he always booked at a stereotypical foreign heel. Give him something else for gods sake!"

India is not a monolithic nation, it has 450 different linguistic groups - being Indian descent does not mean he is popular in his country of origin. Khali is popular in India because he 7'4, light skinned and he votes for the Modi party (the current ruling party of India) - Jinder is darker skinned and does not vote in India because he is Canadian citizen.
