Ever since I watched my first TNA PPV (Lockdown '05) and I saw Sonjay in the X-scape Match I became an instant fan. I think he's a great junior/cruiserweight/high-flyer/whatever wrestler but it doesn't seem like very many people think so too. Is it because he hasn't had an amazing gimmick yet? Is it because he's an Indian American? Is it because he's going bald Chavo Guerrero circa 1999-style? I would really like to know why everyone else isn't on the Sonjay-Deserves-A-Push Train.

I think he's a good performer but hasn't had a storyline that worked out too well as of yet.

He's pretty good for a flippy-dippy-doodle type of guy. But he REALLY needs to drop his lame Guru gimmick.
He also needs to get away from his stable with Shark Boy and Petey Williams, aka "The X-Division Guys".

Easily. I still hope he gets the X-Division run he so richly deserves.

Saw him in CZW, immediately became a fan, tried to buy a best of Sonjay DVD off his website.

I'll be honest, I'm not. It's not his ring work, because that's incredibly solid, if a bit flippy dippy, but he can work, and he does have some charisma, but there's just something that stops me from getting into him like others seem to.

Is it because he is a Real Indian American Hero and not a Real American Hero?

I have a lot of love for Sonjay whenever he's on, but I guess he doesn't have that Poochie effect of "Where's Sonjay?"
I feel for the hairline though, I really do.

I love him. His matches are superb. He needs to drop the Guru gimmick though. Now.

Decent wrestler and I really like his current gimmick, "The Guru" is totally brilliant! I think it's cool they are making fun of the whole Indian spiritual movement that is happening lately, especially in colleges and most probably don't get that. Sort of the same thing with Muhammad Hassan, until they turned him into a terrorist.
I may be in the minority but I love The Guru gimmick as it gives him some sort of personality instead of generic X Division wrester #3,122,343, which is the same problem I have with Christopher Daniels and Petey Williams. Now if Daniels would be the real Fallen Angel or Curry Man than that's a diffrent story.

I have enjoyed Sonjays work for years. In czw and tna he always goes all out .But I still wouldnt put him in my top 20 indy/tna wrestlers. He is good but he jsut doesnt have......It.

He's a great wrestler but they really need to drop the stupid guru stuff. Sadly it's seems in wrestling that bookers think if one of something is good more has to be even better and TNA figures that if they have one X Division guy doing a comedy gimmick they need more.

Like other said he lacks "it". Like I never see Sonjay Dutt on the card and think anything midcard/jobber match but hey not everyone has to be main event, we need filler guys who can go out and work a good match and that's him.

Nah, not really. That sprinkler crap annoyed the f*** out of me too. To be honest, I thought it was stupid too, but the Impact Zone C.H.U.D.'s ate it up so I figured that's why he kept doing it. Also, I don't get the complaint against him being too "flippy". Yeah, he does a lot of "flips" and whatnot, but he does them for DDTs, Arm Drags, Hurricanrana's, Octopus Stretches, and other pro wrestling moves, so he can certainly wrestle, he just puts his own spin on classic maneuvers because, well, he can.
