I agree. Neither Balor nor Mahall have done anything good or interesting since being on Raw or SD.
For so long you did nothing but shit on people like the young bucks, Omega etc for being "meme wrestlers" but Mahall has done literally nothing and nobody has a single reason to give a fuck about him outside of internet meme shit and steroids.
I like his look. Even before all the steroids.
He's an Indian man in the main event. Would it be great if he was better? Sure. But the current WWE environment we live in is one where it's so selectively picky with who they push and dont push that its rare to see a brown man get a WWE title match. I enjoyed his match with Sin Cara on main event and thought hed work well as a decent midcard guy for a while. He's tall, cuts a decent promo and gets that being a heel(intentionally or not) isnt about doing flashy moves all the time. He reminds me of pre-Seth Rollins heels where his character on the mic is very similar to his character in the ring. He's consistent at that.
I bet there are a lot of Indian kids who give a fuck about him other than 'meme shit and steroids' when there's a massive Indian audience for the WWE thats been ignored for years outside of Khali's reign. Again, if they had a better Indian wrestler? Maybe that would help but everything in the WWE is so sanitized and formulaic that I really dont think it would make much of a difference. The stories they tell in the ring are so flat and uninteresting and samey that it doesnt matter. So its nice to see diversity in the main event scene. It's especially nice to see an All Lives Matter type potentially losing his title to a brown man from Canada.
If he takes steroids? So the fuck what? No one here seems to complain about Neville's juiced up reign.
