TPWW's #3 Peep
Posts: 20,896

I've never understood the logic behind pushing wrestlers from certain ethnic backgrounds to appeal to that audience.
I mean, if you watch WWE, surely you watch it for the sake of guys like John Cena, Roman Reigns, AJ Styles etc... basically, you watch it because it's the WWE, not because of that one dude who's from the same country as you. And in the case of Jinder Mahal... he's a heel. Are Indian people supposed to "get behind him" or something? He's a bad guy! If Indian people watch WWE, I'm sure they understand how it works. I can understand having someone like Mahal under contract, and perhaps playing up his Nationality when they're overseas, but just seems so illogical to have to do it on home soil to appeal to an audience, who are likely watching regardless of that one dude, anyway. Ya'mean? |

I don't think Jinder Mahal is even close to the popularity that Khali enjoyed in India. To be honest, I am a bit intrigued by the formation of the Canadian Indian stable.

I just wish they signed Sonjay Duty instead and used him because then I wouldn't be taking a break from WWE. |

I enjoyed Sanjay Dutt a lot "back in the day"..... enjoyed him as "The Guru" and before.....
For some reason liked him a lot less when he went with the bald look (although I guess I haven't seen too much) |

Then again appeasing to certain ethnic groups is why the WWF got very popular in the pre-Hogan era and why Bruno Sammartino had lengthy championship reigns. Sports is similar whenever someone big from an ethnic background breaks a barrier or becomes a huge star since it leads to more of those people becoming interested as both fans and potential future players. |

The ULTIMATE Swede Savard "Alright!" montage. Great nostalgic video...
Some great "alright!" moments. A great landmark catchphrase...really hope to see The Pride of Philly saying "Alright!" in the big leagues one day! Good days, good days! Enjoy! |

Recent issue of the Observer Newsletter put together how deep WWE's efforts to ridicule and bully Mauro were.

I bought my house of Hardcore ticket online and I got a confirmation email of payment to Thomas Laughlin..took me a minute to figure out who that was lol.
Super pumped for the show even though I didn't splurge for the $100 meet and greet deal.. |

When Sonjay cut his hair he went on to vanish and/or just be angry in his matches. He might be on GFW's roster, but idk what that entails other than the house shows they put on at minor league baseball fields. |

Also, I remember thinking that when he had hair he kind of looked like a brown Christian Cage, so I liked him for that too........

There should be a wrestling style Quantum Leap show where a wrestler goes back in time to fix all the wrongs throughout the history of wrestling.

Tommy Dreamer booked his show in the same building time as a bunch of 8 year olds having a roller skate party. There's absolutely no way this can end well
