That Mahabali Veera guy, however he spells his first name, he's certainly got a good look to him and he seems excited, but needs a bit of work. I guess if they keep his matches short and sweet and not do a Crimson streak type deal, he'll be fine.
I like the stable with Magnus, Steiner and Dutt as well.

I guess I can give people some pros and cons.
Pros
* The audience is more than alive, you actually believe that they are excited. * Despite not understanding the announcers, it feels as if they also care about this product more than some of our English announcers (ie Mike Tenay & Michael Cole) * Dr. Nicholas Dinsmore is definately a better gimmick than Eugene. * I actually was entertained by their musical guest at the beginning despite not being able to understand him as I dont speak Hindu. * Love the stable of Sir Brutus Magnus, Scott Steiner, & Sonjay Dutt * Also, having the bad history between England and India, having Brutus Magnus be Sir Brutus Magnus is really a good idea.
But I wont say this show is perfect as it has some cons.
Cons * American Adonis is basically the heel Masterpiece all over again, just replacing Master with Adonis. That didnt work in the States and I really dont need it repeated here. * Mahabali Veera (spelling?) needs some work and I dont like that he squashed Dr. Nicholas Dinsmore * Needs more time * For the supposed leader of the heel faction, I don't think it was a good idea for Sir Brutus Magnus to get his ass kicked in the first episode. * Why is Jeremy Borash there???

Muhabali Veera is green as hell but I like the Rock/Batista influence. Overall the show has alot of potential. Production value is better than Impact. I'm very interested to see what talent turns up in RkK. I'm equally interested in seeing the Indian wrestlers in action as well.

Dr. Nicholas Dinsmore, there's something about that character I love. Someone said it was like Eugene as a doctor, but I don't think it's like that. I think he's like, a mad scientist type doctor. Or a doctor like this:
The Indian kid who beat him could use some tweaking in OVW with Dr. Nick.

One thing as well, is they do the whole, don't try this at home warning, during the show with some text at the bottom of the screen, and nothing that would take too much time away from the show.
Commentator: OWWW! That ninja girl Raisha.
At least that's how it sounded to my english speaking ears.

Agreed. But though it may be what the character is intended to be, it didn't felt that way to me. Dinsmore acts and looks too much like Eugene with a lab coat to be convincing, so far. Ep 2 was much better : more matches, Raisha Saeed, The Sheiks, and the mysterious Mumbai Cats, who somehow felt really familiar.

Commentator: OWWW! That ninja girl Raisha. That just gave Nicole Matthews another reason to beat the crap out of Melissa. Overseas gimmick infringement.

I really wish I knew more languages. So far on the show, it's Hindi, Farsi from Sheik Abdul Bashir and English of course.
I guess the Mumbai cats are gonna be like, the Conquistadors. Or maybe the Mulkey Brothers. Maybe Mumbaimania can run wild eventually.
One thing I think is great is Ring Ka King has arguably a better women's division then WWE and there's only two of them.

Three once Angelina Love shows up.

Very blatant botch at the end of the Episode 2 main event...
Oh, and nice to see the Bell Bottoms back, Mickie.

I have some pros and one con for episode 2.
Pros * Very Good Main Event between Sonjay Dutt & Chavo Guerrero * A tolerable and not confusing squash match for Scott Steiner * The Shieks are awesome * Ninja Raisha comment * Good debut vignettes for the Bollywood Boys & Mickie James
Cons * that botch where some moron played Sonjay's music before the ref counted to three
I agree that episode 2 was better than episode 1 and if not for that botch, would have been perfect.

I like the Magnus, Steiner & Dutt stable and the main event of episode two was pretty good, as was the tag match. I was disapointed Maxx B got jobbed out, I don't even know why but I liked him.

Not perfect from a booking perspective, but there is actually more effort into this show than actual Impact Wrestling tapes.
Why can't us Americans watch this program Thursday nights?

I must say that I'm enjoying it so far, my biggest complaint is that it's only on for an hour, stopping when it really seems to be hitting its stride.
Do we know who's playing Mufasa in the Sheiks tag team?

Arya Daivari, interestingly enough Amazing, a brother tag team that's made up of real life brothers, and a middle eastern tag team that's made up of people of middle eastern descent! (Yes I know they're Iranian, not Arabs, but it's closer than Italians who seem to play the bulk of ethnic gimmicks.) Both very rare things in wrestling.

True, but I was referring to the general derivitave fare we see on Spike TV, and then you compare that to Ring Ka King...
