The difference between the two is that Jinder has always fitted into that mold of an Undercard/Jobber talent (Midcard is pushing it a little), whereas Drew McIntyre started in the Midcard in WWE, but in his time away on the independent circuit, he actively strived to better himself as a performer, and when he returned, he was a top-tier Main Eventer from his experiences outside of WWE

Why DIDN'T they go with Jinder as a face champion? India is still pretty into kayfabe and they're not going to get behind a dastardly heel champ.

This booking is actually that good, that I would want to see this

[@MultiClassGeek]

“Did you blame Danaerys for torching King’s Landing, or did you blame [Weiss and Benioff]” Okay, that was a genuinely mind blowing observation. I’d never thought of Wrestling like that before, but when Adam puts it like that, I realise I always knew it, I just didn’t realise that I knew I knew it. A+++, worth a like for that observation alone

That's because Adam is good at what he does.

I want a 3MB reunion. Have Heath and Mahal as Drew's idiot friends trying to piggyback off of his main event success. It could actually be really sweet and sympathetic if he comes to their defense after a mauling by some scary monster or something.

DoctorLazers THREE MAN BAND TRIPLE THREAT FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP. SUMMERSLAM BOOK IT VINCE

[@OpreRoma]

After 3MB broke up I never would have guessed that 1 would be a world champion and another would win the rumble and make Brock look silly, and even if I had I would never have guessed Jinder would be the champion. Heath has done well for himself too with the tag title reign. Fair play to them, all 3 have survived what for some would have been a career killing jobber gimmick and all have improved their stock and won stuff

[@sciencecharity]

DoctorLazers it would be a nice segment, but not story

[@TheShadowBrigade]

@@OpreRoma Not only that but quite honestly I don't get all the hate on Jinder. Sure that WWE title reign was kind of lackluster but he did the best he could with what he was given. He has a great look and is honestly pretty good on the mic... He's lacking a little bit in the ring but that can be camouflaged by maybe making him a tag wrestler. Have him be the super serious brute of the team who makes the saves for the cocky/goofy workhorse partner. In that regard, Heath would somewhat ironically be the perfect partner for him.

[@OpreRoma]

@@TheShadowBrigade i don't blame Jinder at all, or any of the other talents involved in the fued. He was booked horribly. WWE couldn't decide if he was a jacked up powerhouse heel or a cowardly chickenshit heel, so they half committed to both and achieved neither. Jinder just did what he needed to do. He sorted himself out after he got fired, got in the best shape of his life, took the opportunities he got and now he's an established part of the roster. He's not to blame for creative giving him bland storylines, an unoriginal character that achieved the opposite of what they wanted, maybe he wasn't quite good enough to be a massive star, but booked correctly Jinder could have been much better to watch and he'd probably be more fondly remembered as a champion. Me personally, I'd have done a more traditional build and give him a winning streak before he gets his shot. Have him maul some jobbers. Give him some midcard victories. Then you can build a narrative that this is a new Jinder who is much better than the guy who was the 3rd best member of 3MB. It would still be a massive shock when he gets the shot and the title, but it feels more natural, he has some cred, he's established as being in form, and people get used to the idea of Jinder actually being a threat to his opponents. I'd then have him do a couple of defences legit, but have him become unhinged with power, like Adam suggested, have him get to the point where he'll do anything to keep the belt. He never wants to be a jobber again. At this point, he should recruit the Singh brothers. Then instead of suddenly becoming the JBL or Miz style champ he suddenly became with no explanation irl, you have a narrative that explains how Jinder became that man, that takes his past history into account. Instead of ignoring his days as a jobber, he embraces them, he uses them as fuel to become the Modern Day Maharaja. Far from being an awkward footnote, the losses become his motivation to never fall down the card again. That way, you have your heel Jinder as champ, but with a story that makes sense, with clear motivations for his actions, all his changes as a person explained. Cos that was a huge problem irl, Jinder as the Maharaja wasn't built , he just kinda materialised, and in no time he's gone from that faux rockstar to the rich guy who is racially abusing Nakamura for heat

[@caeert2962]

I remember Adam being one of the only people criticising this when it happened and he got backlash for not liking this random decision. He was very right to be critical...

[@sw33tshar3]

Adam was wrong

[@zadok23]

I was that first type of stooge who adam mentioned...Jinder winning was new and I hated that Orton beat Bray at Wrestlemania so i was very glad to see him lose the belt relatively quickly.

[@KaiserSoze679]

Ya know, I feel weird saying it cause I know the way it was done was such utter garbage, and if they wanted to make him champ there are so many better ways to do it (Adam described one perfectly.) I also know a lot of people will just hate me for saying it AT ALL... but I live in the area where the man who would go on to become Jinder Mahal got his start - and he's such a great guy, and such a hard worker, and so in love with what he does, that (even if it wasn't a great run) I'm glad he got to have a stint in the spotlight. The character may not have deserved it, but the man did, IMO.

[@aaronmalixi797]

Thanks WrestleTalk for giving this man the platform (and a 2nd chance) he deserves.

For reference: A 4.68 second 40-yard dash is a really impressive feat for a guy who is about 6'6", 260 lbs and can bench press 225 lbs 23 times. It implies he is probably equally adept at wreaking havoc by catching touchdown passes as he is at blocking big dudes trying to break your quarterback in half (which he turned out to be capable of indeed).

[@sukhbirsingh8053]

I am an Indian pro wrestling fan for the past 21 years. The most avid(around 60-70%) wrestling watchers in India believe that pro wrestling s actually unscripted. They believe that it isn't pre-determined. Vince knows it too. So Vince thought, we'd buy this Jinder Mahal push. Not to be. Most of the fans here simply didn't believe him as credible enough to beat Randy Orton, even after the interference of Singh brothers. It was a nice moment, yeah, but local tv ratings plummeted

[@Sliver64]

So let me get this straight... In a country when the majority of fans still believe wrestling is real (I'm from Mexico, and here the majority of people have the mentality that mexican wrestling is real, but the foreign wrestling is teather), a wrestler representing your country becoming champion kinda was the "Curtain call" there?

[@NoobMaster-lr2li]

that's because there is unscripted wrestling in India

[@wyattangle]

How does such a large percentage believe it to be real? I ask that with no disrespect meant. Are Web sites and KZbin channels like these not popular there? Do they just not go online for their wrestling fix? I'm just curious...
