2017, WWE is a truly global company, and they still went with generic foreign heel. A guy who worked has ass off to go from comedy jobber alcoholic to fired to brought back just to fill up the card to getting so jacked that Vince put the strap on him, that the crowd was in support of when he won the title, and could have been a huge feel good story of a dude putting his people and nation(s) on his back and being a hero instead of another 80s stereotype storyline.

Off WWE TV, he's the nicest, most humble dude and everywhere he goes people love him. People were so happy for him in Canada. I really think that might be the biggest missed opportunity over the past year or two. I'm sure it damaged whatever cultural star he could have been in India as well, since even though commentary and editing made him out to be a face, he was just an angry guy bragging about how much better he is than everyone else and cheating every match.


Look at how fukking baller he looked with the belt, with that entrance, with that swag, he could have been a real star if they let the story go to it's natural place. Made even weirder that they went on to have him feud with a Japanese star for 2 months and had him be racist to him.

Jinder's story could've booked a million different ways, as a heel or as a face. He could've been the biggest thing ever if he was handled correctly. It all comes down to the fact that WWE is ran by a old white guy who doesn't know how to write for people aren't white beyond writing them as stereotypes

The only way foreign talent get over in this Era is to get themselves over. More often than not, they are written as unrelatable stereotypes.

This.

Vkm had the opportunity to take over using international stars twice last year with Nakamura and jinder.
Plus twice with a male and female Nakamura and asuka.
Then vkm reverted back to cold war booking with asinine clown eighties gimmick heels. He missed every opportunity to make new stars.
Instead he kept to the same ol same ol that he even buried the country back woods shaman boogie man just because he was southern and did it with standard white guy pretty boi in the same white guy jock stereotype goes over everytime eighties cliche., as well.
When he had a chance to make a new undertaker style type with the in house bray wyatt character as well.

Instead all we get is the same stoopid recycled cliche eighties jockboy bf and heel country backwoods shaman and/or foreigner bullshjt over and over again.


It has gotten so repetitive that he vkm does not realize he could landlock wrasslin along with the dead landlocked draw that boxing is after pbf retired .

Maybe that is cool with vkm but along with a dead landlocked draw could be complete death of an industry as well.

Uhm,...if anyone gets themselves over outside of the McMahon marketing money annual run they are getting buried and jobbed out.

To the point they get their spirits broken and generally never recover to be of any value.
Case in point,....
Del rio, was booked then lost all convincability after his loss to edge.
Bray Wyatt lost all his convincability. after his lost to cena and continual character definitive losses via content after cena to losses to taker and Orton.
Where Wyatt should have been given the new mantra as the supernatural spirit leader of the WWE. Which should have been transferred to Braun. To explain his sudden comeuppance as a singles star.
outside the dumb ogre to duke ightorn stoopid with toadie minion style henchmen.
when, and after Orton torched and also jobbbed out Wyatt. Where once again definitively ruining the Wyatt character as a formidable legacy running lead supernatural heel character outside of and after the undertaker.
Vkm also will toss a great tweener like Zack woo woo himself off the ramp in the most character demeaning burial of a character probably ever, even after the comedic Paul bearer is destroyed in a wheelchair edge/kane comedy title program as well.
To be even more thorough about vkm's inability to develop character properties.

Vkm also flodged and jagged't on kane as a segueway.
or, main event cinvincability level spiritual offshoot of taker as well.

Just to draw even more detail and depth to the fact vkm really has no idea what to do outside of the protege to flair and heyman playbook being there. After also failing to produce out of all the characters available during the rock'nwrasslin era as well. Including, a mirrored rap n wrasslin era. Which also failed to produce a boom character model that vkm created and also amalgamated.
Vkm always fails unless the flair protege model and heyman running in a rival promotion to take from are available.
Outside of that and those exceptions.
Besides rocky iii, You can expect to see nuffin but the exact definition of phoney is and was created for to describe specifically being sumfin from the mind of McMahon.

Feels like a distant memory even though it was only like a year ago. It was genuinely fun to watch and it felt fresh.

There was nuffin fun at all about jinder's reign. it was agonizing and Nakamura should have went over to wrassle and lost or best Brock at the night of champions match. Where jinder had to be expressly booked out of a title run for an aj come save us title run.
Instead of an actual foreign star with a physique competes against Brock lesnar program. Where jinder is booked so lacking in workrate. That it still was not believeable.
he should not have beat Nakamura despite whatever fukkery is there.
As Nakamura is from Japan and should be a Vet to fukkery regardless if it is WWE level style fukkery. That until vkm learns to book with some dynamic based ideal outside of the sensationalism idea of sneak racism and basic cliche's.
This company is headed to the same landlocked dead draw that boxing is after pbf.

He could of been the biggest heel too, so what?


To be honest,..


We know he never had convincability as a heel because he failed before as a generic heel. Trender,..i mean jinder did not get over till he actually was a misfit with slater and was the direction and continuity to tether to. When a program was setup to elevate him to the title and now was required to provide color to th character as a title holder.
If they wanted to actually put heat on jinder.
they should have had him turn and smash slater in a more definitive program.
that would have put the entire roster in some perception close to the title. Instead of the reach for the so-called brass ring style ideal of the WWE and vkm currently.

Should have let Jinder be himself...focusing on ethnicity doesn't make sense in today's world cuz we live in a diverse America where plenty of so called foreigners are born here and are just as American as any blue eyed cac.

Couldn't he just have been known as a tremendous athlete and cool dude...why go extra with all that Indian shyt

You don't see Finn Balor decked out in a leprechaun outfit
