To reward a roid monkey who almost put a top talent on the shelf again? No thank you.

No, thanks. This has been one of the most baffling booking decisions I've ever seen. I agree this is not like JBL because JBL wasn't enhancement talent weeks before getting a title shot. This is more like The Brooklyn Brawler getting a title match.

He's never at any point been presented as a credible threat. That's enough to say that he's not believable as champion, even with a pair of goons.

Is there a "Stop Making Jinder Threads, It Wasn't Funny In The First Place" option?

Tbh, much as I'd like the title off Orton, it'd be a hell of a weird addition to the title's somewhat-protected lineage, whereas it might be ok with the Universal belt. Imagine future announcers running down the title history. "Bruno Sammartino. Bret Hart. Shawn Michaels. Steve Austin. The Rock. John Cena. Daniel Bryan. The least talented member of 3MB even including Hornswoggle." Bigger picture. Was Iron Sheik the right person to take the title off Backlund in lieu of other active face stars at the time? He was the right heel to get the bright new star Hogan over and the Hulkamania engine running. I hope Jinder is being propositioned in a similar vein.

1; More interesting than Orton. Hell, Austin Aries' banana would be a more interesting champion than fxxxing Orton.
2; I would LOVE to see the backlash if he actually won. Just the backlash from the number 1 contender shot is kind of hilarious!
So yeah. Give him the title and let him and his midget companions run wild all over the first hour SDL while the big boys (Styles, Corbin, Owens) rule the second.

I love pro wrestling with all my heart but I honestly don't care who the WWE Champion is. Jinder Mahal as champ would have no effect on my life.
Too mellow?

It's so weird and out of the blue that I want to see it. I'd be interested to see who they'd groom to take down the jacked up evil foreigner gimmick. Face Rusev? Sami? Owens?

One day he'll surpass Bret Hart as the most successful wrestler from Calgary. Funny thing is I'm from Calgary and Jinder is one of my friends cousins and I don't even want him to get pushed.

That, and do people really think the same company that would bust Orton and Roman for PED's would say " I know we put Orton and Roman on the shelf but this company can't survive Jinder taking a 30 day vacation!"

I am all for the match. But as a TV match, not a PPV main event. This is my take on it. I'm all for lower card and mid card guys mixing it up with the main event guys/getting a world title shot and doing more storylines that begin and end within a few weeks of programming, like that stuff would actually be pretty great and help to elevate the profile of more guys, but preferably build them up a little bit better than this beforehand. It doesn't really matter whether any of us like this or not, though, because WWE is at the point where they can do anything, push anything, and not suffer much consequence. The event is already sold out so there's not much the people who bought tickets can do (I sorta wonder if this is "punishment" for Chicago fans), and PPV business is no where near as important to WWE now thanks to the network. And on the chance that Jinder does get over as a reclamation project, then there's an example and talking point we can point to for them to rehab guys like Zayn and Harper that IMO have a ton more potential.

I assume the banana is actually a former DDT champion.
