Time to show some love to the original Hassan. Also, not to hinder jinder but he did the gimmick better. He was managed by his man servant Babu and had some lovely rose petals.   |

I don't even remember the manservant. all I remember is when he made Chaz and D'Lo wear colour co-ordinated turbans.

Tiger messed with a pimp's money. He was the first to find out, pimpin' ain't easy.

Tiger Ali Singh's appearances made the Conway/Jinder Pop sound like Austin coming out at the end of Rock/Mankind

WWE always has problems with Indian wrestlers. No, this particular case wasn't the WWE's fault, Tiger Ali Singh was horrible wherever he went. U.S., Japan, Canada, Puerto Rico, etc. |

U.S., Japan, Canada, Puerto Rico, etc. I'm talking about the quality of Indian wrestlers out there for them to hire. Singh, Khali, and Mahal can't be the best out there. I would say Sonjay Dutt but no way in hell he's passing Wellness. |

He was so insanely, unfathomably bad at every aspect of pro wrestling that he was tremendous.

Confession: I liked Tiger. I thought his meh-ness worked with his character -- someone who thinks he's one of the elite but really there's not much to brag about.

With that big of a pool of people you'd think they'd have some stuff WWE could use. |

The problem with Tiger was that there was never any original promos or push to get him over. He originally came to WWF in 1997 and as far as I remember never had a televised match. He only appeared on One Night Only in a throwaway match with Leif Cassidy who was Barry Horowitz with a gimmick and flashy attired by this point.
In 1998 he returned but with no lead up, no promos. He just came out and tried his hand at a Million Dollar Man "everyone has a price" type gimmick. He disappeared for a few months and I think reappeared around Royal Rumble time, maybe even just for the rumble.
About two years later he came back around trying to get Chaz and D'Lo over, in kayfabe specifically.

I don't even remember him wrestling. I remember him doing a few in ring promos, and then managing Lo Down.

Once WWE get the WWE Channel up and running, I love for them to do a Tough Enough Asia. |

Sometimes I forget that Pablo Marquez played Babu. He would return to ECW after getting released and would get "Babu" chants.

He won the 1997 Kuwait Cup beating Mankind and Bret Hart in the process, would love to see those matches for a laugh!

I don't even remember the manservant. all I remember is when he made Chaz and D'Lo wear colour co-ordinated turbans. He had the manservant during his 1st WWF run, in late 1998. I seem to recall them doing an angle where Babu was slowly starting to break away from Singh, being belittled so much that he finally had enough, only to get beatdown suddenly and then disappearing forever (WCW did something similar a couple years earlier with Regal and the butler guy that escorted him and Eaton as the Blue Bloods). Then Singh was injured in early 1999 and sat out for nearly 2 years, returning in very late 2000. He came back mainly because his contract cost so much that they couldn't just have him sit at home the rest of his WWF tenure (he barely wrestled during this run; I remember him getting squashed by Blackman on Raw and that's it). Shortly into 2001 he was gone, and Lo Down (D'Lo/Chaz) kinda vanished themselves - D'Lo went to developmental with other mid/low-carders during the Invasion, and Chaz was released sometime during that year). |
