He's got a great look to him, and I'm sure he could eventually put on a great match, but right now I just see him as Placeholder Khali. Once they get rid of that and give him an actual character, he'll be much more interesting.

They should team him up with Heath Slater, dye his hair, and he could be Ginger Mahal.
Poor Jinder. Daivari makes a much better ethnic eastern heel, why don't they bring him in. And I think the Magic Carpet Ride is Arabian, as Daivari had that as his finish briefly. It does make me miss Daivari, like, the ethnic heel is old and tired, but he's so good at it.
Bring him and his little brother in, help bolster the tag team division.

They already did the one thing that would make me go from bored of him to irritated by sight, and that's *cash register* "I come from money...." Yeah, have two guys with zero character should totally feud for 10 minutes each week, while guys who can put on good matches get relegated to Superstars hell. *Looks at sig* Ted can put on a hell of a better match than Wade, and I'm a Wade fan. Theyve still put very little effort into Ted so he's not going to have an amazing character either.

Every time I see this guy come out I'm kind of surprised he's still on the roster, let alone on RAW. I think they really want an Indian character - it's hard to believe they couldn't find anyone with a little more talent.

They changed Jinder Mahal! He is better than ever! He still embodies all the awful stereotypes he did before! But he's got a new hat!

All he needs are stretchy powers and fire breathing and he's set.

I agree that he's got a different look and an underrated interview style that could make him somewhat marketable if done the right way.
Have him don military fatigues and he could lead a bloodless coup to take over a political state! Kinda like a 21st Century Fidel Castro.
I think it could work.

foreign heel characters apparently no longer work. why is he bad? just because he speaks a different language? i mean, i don't even know what his problem is. did they really think that throwing a turban on him would get him heat?

They call a turban a Pagri in India. Thank you Wikipedia. And I'm hoping that they do involve Khali's sister in this thing somehow and that when she appears, she's just Khali in a blonde wig and lipstick. They could name her Khalia. And, boy oh boy, she likes the ladies too.

If they really want an indian wrestler,just hire Jimmy Jacobs,have him tan and call him Matthew Patel .He's already got the hair.

I don't really think Indians wear turbans anymore, but since it's pro wrestling, and Kozlov came out with the sickle and hammer, that's irrelevant. Actually.... Here is a picture of a large group of Sikhs(Mahal is of Punjab Indian Sikh descent) from 2005. Notice what many of the men are wearing

Have you seen the American Audiences? Rodriquez gets booed like crazy whenever he speaks spanish and the crowds are what like 40% hispanic? Speaking a language other than english gets instant heat, it's just thats all he has, and unles he commentates his own matches fans will get sick of him when he gets in the ring.
