His matches still suck and his promo is the same one every week.

I don't think he's the future of the company and I don't think wwf is going to make much money off him.

Has he moved the needle on network numbers in canada?

But he's getting better, and his entrance is the most big-time walkout in the entire company. He draws incredible heat (listen to the crowds when he raises his belt), and the guy is getting a level of mainstream pub that we haven't seen in a decade or two. He's articulate, he's a hard worker, and it's really interesting how all the ancillary videos produced by WWE basically cast him as a pure babyface. His in-ring work is just incidental at this point.

I think sometimes these things are more important than being able to put on Cleaner Classics.

I guarantee you Mahal is back to low/midcard within two years before getting the axe.

Jinder gonna drop the title to Cena at next year Rumble and at Mania he will already be on the pre-show

I hope Mojo Rawley tosses him out in the ARMBAR again. It'll be the new annual Wrestlemania tradition. Like the Undertaker's streak.

He'll be in ROH, which would be ironic.

Don't be a jerk, OwensIsNow. I'm trying to have a conversation about the World Champion in a thread about pro wrestling.

I'm going to start reporting people who accuse me of "gimmick posting" to the mods starting now.

 

[SallyIsNow]

I thought we were friends, Blackaroni.

Would ROH want Corbin? He seems like more of a Global Force Wrestling guy.

I'm listening to Shakira. Come at me, OwensIsNow.

GFW might give him a world title reign

The fact it's only "might" is bad. Del Rio couldn't even last a year with his temper, Corbin might not make it a quarter of a year

I'm listening to Death Grips. So, glass house and all that.

But he is a boring wrestler and I watch wrestling to see well, wrestling. How big he is has no value for me as a consumer.

Jinder is getting mainstream attention?

Someone posted an article about him from the New York Times in this thread, it was a good read.

 

[FallingEdge]

As mainstream as you can get for wrestling.

I'm listening to Shakira. Come at me, OwensIsNow.

Saw her at a concert

Had no reasons to complain

On other notes, god is dead

Cena said it’s ultimately up to Nikki, but that they like sharing their lives with the fans, so a televised wedding is possible.

 

[Dark Ninja]

The funny thing is Jinder exposes so many guys as being short or flabby. Dude is jacked and somewhat tall. Jinder's jobber match with finn really showed the height and mass difference. AJ has this problem sometimes where he comes off as being short but at least he is in the best possible shape for an older guy. Half the roster including NXT is out of shape or just in cardio shape.

The Score in Canada also wrote a fantastic profile on him: http://www.sportsnet.ca/more/big-read-jinder-mahal-game-changer-wwe/

You could put the belt on anyone who's not American, have them cut promos in a non-english language for weeks, and they'd get the exact same reaction Jinder is getting.

 

[imBask]

I'm listening to Death Grips. So, glass house and all that.

I like how they went from a legit band to a band that just makes random noise and hope it passes as music to their gullible fanbase

 

[RecRoulette]

Like his gut but only on his face.


EDIT: Best mockup Im willing to give you of what I think final form fully bald gutfaced nostril corbin would look like.

Oh, this is the Snoke everyone keeps talking about.

 

[Dental Plan]

Bischoff beat Vince by countout.

WCW in 1998.

 

[Heroman]

Only reason jinder is Champ is because it doesn't matter who the champ is, business stays the same.

 

[bean breath]

I think sometimes these things are more important than being able to put on Cleaner Classics.

The traditional dancers that have occasionally performed as part of his promos are a much needed injection of culture to the show. They even get cheered despite him being a baddie.

Compare that to the double decker buses, black cabs and telephone booths they roll out for shows in England. Or the throwaway lines about Irish folklore from commentary that get lost during Balor matches. It shows Jinder really cares about authenticity, like he mentioned in the article.

 

[Anth0ny]

Only reason jinder is Champ is because it doesn't matter who the champ is, business steadily declines.

WWE Uncaged 3 is out!

https://open.spotify.com/album/5Jyk1Fzs1K4zkZGn19COIx

Has Angle's theme from when WWE tried to stop the fans from chanting "You Suck" and Stone Cold's Alliance theme. Eddie's final heel theme

 

[Caspel]

I'm happy for Neville -- dude brings "it" and is one of the better acts in WWE right now.

No hate here, on a few of my playlists

Do you think business is declining to the point where WWE could be in serious trouble within the next few years?

 

[GunBR]

Old gif, but nothing changed
Rusev should be the champ

 

[Pikma]

So why did they announce Lio Rush's signing via website instead of him just showing up at the NXT Tapings? Is he really going to 205?&#128514;

 

[shaowebb]

Oh, this is the Snoke everyone keeps talking about.

Enhanced to be bald per your request and I put his nose on too just cuz. I hate that fucker for stinking up the ring and sucking momentum out of people. Corbin is a wasted slot.

When nothing matters things fans tend to move on.

 

[kiguel182]

Those NJPW shows seem to have some awesome matches but I might still skip the tag team stuff. Not because it's bad but because those shows are too long.

 

[Tall4Life]

So when's the next GWF show?
