    Join us on a journey through the highs and lows of one of WWE's most intriguing Indian figures; Jinder Mahal. In this video, we take a look into Mahal's meteoric rise in WWE, from his debut, to become a member of 3MB with Drew McIntyre, to his shocking transformation into the Modern Day Maharaja. We explore how his unexpected WWE Championship win at Backlash 2017 sent shockwaves through the wrestling world and challenged conventional notions of what a champion should look like.

    As an Indian, I can confidently say that Jinder's popularity in India, despite being a WWE champion, has not made significant headlines or generated better numbers for WWE in India. Stars like Undertaker, Roman Reigns, John Cena, and Randy Orton are much more famous than him. If you were to ask the majority of Indians, they would have heard of The Great Khali but not necessarily of Jinder. In India, powerhouse stars tend to become fan favorites, and the concept of using heel tactics does not sell very well here.

      Yes.. WWE could've even explored the possibility of reuniting 3MB back in 2020 in a renewed avatar where they're bigger, meaner, badder heels that would match or even surpass the early days of the shield or potentially even (dare I say it) evolution from 2003... They could have legendary feuds with the hurt business, new day, Wyatt family, the Usos and more. They could rule the roost, steamroll the best in the business, push NXT talents and have a roller coaster title reign, building up to becoming the 3 headed demon Requiring an assortment of extraordinary superstars to unite, culminating in an epic battle to vanquish 3MB and dismantle the faction at WrestleMania 40.
      Sadly we never got to see all that.. or even world Champion Heath Slater flanked by the Universal tag team champs - the Scottish warrior and the modern day maharaja.

    I think he's too happy to please and willing to go along with the company plans, doesnt fight for himself or his chances enough.
    If they took away the firebrand "IM INDIAN" gimmick and maybe give a mouth peice manager, I think he could be a top star. However he's pushing 40, and just been released... not impossible but its very uphill from here.
    Good luck to him though.

  • @thefuturist8864
    @thefuturist8864 Месяц назад +15

    Jinder’s WWE Championship reign lacked any kind of a story, and that was the problem. It’s not the kind of thing WWE should do often (in fact, once is probably enough) but the ‘jobber got lucky’ angle could have been really interesting, especially if they’d written it as going to his head and making him believe he’s far better than he was. The reign would then be ended by having an arrogance-driven Jinder challenge AJ Styles, only to be beaten fairly easily, and then have Jinder come to see that he was wrong. It would have been a great character arc, but it was the late 2010s and ‘wtf just happened?!?’ was the main animating principle of wrestling.

    Maybe if they wouldn't have kept giving him the foreign heel who hates americans gimmick and if he didn't always have backup, he would've been a good upper card act. There was this comment I found on another video saying that even though he wouldn't have been the next top guy, he would've been a good rival/build up heel for the next top guy. He was always a solid act and he was underrated in the ring.

  • @ryanleikness3414

    This was an easy story:
    Jinder hit rock bottom after his release. He came back and got in shape because he wanted to be a star in the eyes of the Canadian and Indian country, as well as the WWE Universe. Keep his real life story and make him a babyface to work with top level babyfaces, and score upset wins over top heels. Then he wins the Andre the Giant Battle Royal
    Randy, a tweener, defends the title till Sunmerslam against him and Rusev. It ends with Jinder, having worked hard and improved his worked, then wins the title till after survivor series (I honestly wanted to see Brock vs Jinder)

    He could have been great, the one issue that killed him was that he literally went from being a jobber to being the champion with *nothing in-between*
    There was no build, there was no story, there was nothing! It felt so contrived. All one could think about seeing him winning all of a sudden was of the behind the scenes booking deciding he is good now, not the match or story on the TV. Yes I know that is how it is with every match, but his rise was so inorganic and unplanned for that it was impossible to not notice and suspend ones disbelief.
    Just... wtf were they thinking, they had to have known about their expansion plans for more than 3 days... right? Why tf didn't they plan this better?

    Biggest problem with Jinder’s world title reign was that nobody really mentioned how crazy this whole scenario was in universe. Maybe a passing “Smackdown is the land of opportunity” remark but for the most part commentary acted like he’s been a title contender this whole time whereas the audience was like “wtf is going on?!” I was a very new fan when Jinder won the belt and even I knew this felt wrong.
    Also, the stories were bad. Jinder helped Bray win his match against Randy, and then Randy had his number pretty much every single time they had a match, and the endings basically went, Singh interference, collous, 1-2-3. It was bs. Hell we dragged out Khali to run interference in the Punjabi prison match. Shinsuke story was just Jinder being racist. If Brock didn’t wanna work with him, I can’t say I blame him. Granted I do feel bad for Jinder since he’s caught in the middle of this but can you really blame anyone here? Jinder was box office poison at the time. Only one to really blame is Vince

    Never liked Jinder in the slightest. His mic skills were non existent. His wrestling was mediocre at best and lacked innovation and explosiveness. He just never seemed like legit champion let alone a top guy. Honestly, bringing him back was one thing but having him beat top guys lack Randy and Shinsuke left a bad taste in my mouth.

    He should have never won and the entire program with him was a joke. He and Reigns being pushed were the 1-2 punch that pushed me out of watching weekly.

    Seventh "Person of Color" to win the WWE championship, if you count Pedro Morales, Iron Sheik, Yokozuna, The Rock, Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio. 🙄🥲
