So FCW's Jinder Mahal talked in Hindi to Khali and Singh backstage on Smackdown, he was dressed in a suit and seemed to have a 'big deal, fairly quick' feel about him, why? He's basically an Indian Del Rio, they even have a similar size and look to them just a different race and nationality.  Will he go the way of Braden Walker and Eric Escobar? |

No, because Braden Walker and......um....the other guy you mentioned.........didn't have somebody like Khali to play off of.
Because like it or not, Khali is over as hell.

I think he looks more like an Indian Ray Romano.

Without seeing any of this guy's matches...and I may be labled crazy for saying this...
I wanna see him and Khali take the titles off Big Show and Kane.

He's a terrible worker, but that shouldn't be a surprise. FCW hasn't produced a good worker yet.

I wouldn't be shocked if this guy retires Khali, the guy is carrying a lot of injuries and he is said to want to go into Bollywood.

There is a reason why there is a new Indian worker on the main roster, and that's to replace Khali. This'll be the angle that writes the big man off.

It was a bit of an awkward segment. It's nice to see people debuting on the main brand without being dragged through the mud of NXT.

He as born in Canada, and I've seen his promos in FCW, no English problems there. |

It seems like he's fluent in both, judging from FCW. |

Sideburns was treating him like he's some kind of big Bollywood movie star.

This guy sucks. He's boring in the ring and not that interesting on the mic.
In fact, the only thing interesting I've seen with this guy is when he took a handful of tights to beat Abraham Washington and Washington claimed that Jinder enjoyed it and referred to him as Transjinder Mahal

This will be interesting. I've seen him wrestle, and he's decent, but he can't do a long match.
During the Jack Brisco classic, Jinder was one of the wrestlers in the tournament eventually won by Seth Rollins. He'd be in the ring with Seth, Hunico and Richie Steamboat, and all three of those guys would still be ready to go, but Jinder was sucking wind pretty badly. It's kinda like that Erik Watts guy on Tough Enough. Decent enough technically, but not in very good shape.
Hell, there's this fat guy in FCW, Bobby Dutch, and he can keep up with the faster guys. I don't know how long he'll last. I felt Eric Escobar was pretty talented in FCW, and he didn't last very long.

Just youtube him, he's pretty good, and this is not a bias because I'm punjabi. Oh, he's also Canadian, so that's why he's fluent with english.
are we allowed to post fcw videos?

So FCW's Jinder Mahal talked in Hindi to Khali and Singh backstage on Smackdown, he was dressed in a suit and seemed to have a 'big deal, fairly quick' feel about him, why? He's basically an Indian Del Rio, they even have a similar size and look to them just a different race and nationality. Will he go the way of Braden Walker and Eric Escobar? He wouldn't even be the first Indian with the gimmick. This was Tiger Ali Singh's gimmick when he debuted. And Del Rio can be seen as a Mexican DiBiase, so it's not like his gimmick is exactly original. |
