That video is hilarious. Kinda feel bad for Shera but to be fair it isn't really his fault. TNA have taken one of the first Indian developed wrestlers (If not THE first) and made him a joke. If they HAD to give Shera a dancing gimmick why not have him come out to some catchy pop music and have him do all these really cool dance moves that you'd see in a club? He could even come out with a group of 4-6 dancers with him as he pulls off some sick moves each week. Instead we get the "Shera Shuffle" which isn't interesting to do or see. The best part is that his music starts off with blatantly recycled Suicide intro.

If he didn't want to be made into a joke, he could just leave like AJ, like Joe, like Storm before him. He's Dixie's ticket into India, he has the leverage to protect his character and he isn't using it. Shera is a joke because TNA is giving him the world just to appease their new masters, and he just isn't up to the task, dancing gimmick or not. But bless his heart for trying to make the most of it. Also, considering his skillset and upside, this is likely the high water mark of his career, so he'll take being presented as a stereotype in stride. Frankly, this isn't going to end well for TNA, hopefully.

I bet that most of the Indian people know about wrestling is the WWE, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't knew who the f*** is Mahabali Shera. I bet most of the fans attending the taping got mad when they didn't saw Cena or another recognizable champion. The only way that the shows are gonna be packed at full capacity is if they pay fans to attend the taping.

And then you see him there, and it changes from Lindsay Buckingham and well-meaning family chaos to Linkin Park and pink Comic Sans. The Shera Shuffle to absolute silence. I've been more entertained by TNA's slow death than anything they've put out in years. 30 seconds later, the head of Sony Six received a text saying he was fired.

And Sony Six realizing their mistake dropped TNA from their network and instead will show footage of Cops.

TNA have lost Joe, AJ, Daniels, Storm, Bully, Sabin, Ki, but don't worry, they've still got Sheramania.

Maybe he meant the I.T. factor. Shera's surprisingly good at network design and small-to-medium sized business server solutions.

*TNA has folded, Shera is trying to get on at an indy gig*
Promoter: "I can give you $50"
Shera: "But I'm Shera! Former hot Indian talent from TNA! Look at this dance I do!"
Promoter: "$40"

So somebody sort of asked Gaburick "what makes Shera so Great?".
I think it was actually Gaburick asking himself these questions.

I call BS on Shera having the "IT" factor, because unlike Pennywise he unintentionately amuses me, not scares me shitless.
