For real??
Slowly, but surely, the WWE roster are turning into Punch-Out characters.

"Throw a turban on him, that should do it!"
Nope.

That turban had more personality than he did.

I can salvage Jinder Mahal in three words:
Mola Ram gimmick.

I was hoping WWE would start to get away from the "Look, he's not like you!!! He's speaking in a language that isn't your own and he has a turban! Boo him!" way of thinking.

Wrestling changes but stereotypical characters always stay around. Especially ones concerning people of foreign decent. Probably alot of gimmicks could be thought of other than the "evil foriegner" this guy could play. You'll never see them though. Here's your turban! Now go out there and heel it up!  |

I was surprised they didn't give him a magic carpet to ride.

Despite the surprisingly dead crowd in Philly last night, much credit goes to the audience for not giving in to WWE's race baiting tactics by not responding and/or caring about Jinder's turban or Jinder in general. |

I...I...really hope that he's not supposed to be Indian. I know he was "married" to Khali's sister, but did they ever say what his nationality is?

Wait till they get to the south. |

Just once, I want an Ethnic wrestler who calls out the fans for getting offended that he's living up to his Ethnic stereotypes. Turn it around on all the people who complain that WWE is being racist. Have Jinder (for example) say "Who are you self-righteous busybodies to tell me I can't wear a turban? Just because _you're_ ashamed of it doesn't mean that _I_ have to be! It's not like I'm trying to force _you_ to wear one!" |

Someone in the Raw thread said it should be Brodus Clay as the elephant, and I think that would be almost the best thing that could possibly happen. |

I wonder if in India, they watch Zack Ryder and think "damn, what a American white guy stereotype gimmick this is! pathetic!"
