I fantasy booked Jimder as the hardcore peacekeeper. He practices yoga in the ring, tries getting other stars to do it, has a yoga mat as a weapon, and a finisher called the shakra. His motivation is that while he wants to spread peace and tranquility, his opponents force him otherwise. He could even have a stable of yogi.
If it took off, you can have a show on the network and sell Jinder yoga mats.

Wait, they're actually pushing Jinder "swipe left on tinder" Mahal?
One of, if not the, most mediocre and useless guys on the roster?

In a company where Cesaro can't catch a break as a singles star despite getting himself over, I don't want to see Jinder Mahal in that position fighting for THE world title. It's just that simple. By all means, rebuild the guy and put him in the mid-card, but at this level it makes the entire SD brand look like a joke. Even more attention is on this since Brock Lesnar is warming the Universal title up for Roman Reigns.

Orton's such a weird case. Dude's pretty much always over as a face, but put a title belt on him or put him in a featured feud and it rarely seems to click for him. What can you do with a guy like that? Put him in a tag team. Orton always clicks great in teams but for some reason WWE adamantly refuses to ever make one of them stick. I want Mega Powers 2.0 with Cena and Orton. I think it could be spectacular.

I think it could be spectacular. They had a cool Superman/Batman-like chemistry in 2010 when they were briefly allied against Nexus. They could definitely be better partners than enemies.

Jinder is the worst. He's talentless garbage.

Here's something to consider. I say don't hinder the Jinder. Unless, of course, you're Binder. Who is shiny as a fender reflecting the big dipper. He might be a winner, unless he gets injure. If injured he'll work like a dot matrix printer. He'll fall like a tree after timber. He was taught by master Splinter. Great body because he's an excellent swimmer. He's a winder and hot like a cinder. On Smackdown he'll be a fixture. However, he's not the Drifter. If he eats too much spicy curry he's the emitter. It's a dangerous mixture. To clean him, just throw him in the river. He likes his girls thicker. He dates all the spinsters. However, best not to linger. So let me say this above a whisper. I am a predictor. Here's something you all should be familiar. He's not a quitter. That man is a freethinker. Jinder is a gravedigger. He's bigger than Tiny Lister. He's the Indian man all decked in glitter. He'll earn all the banana stickers. All the audience will be bewilder. Hungry, why wait? Eat a Snickers.

I'm not surprised WWE are giving Jinder this shot. They have a f***ing insane amount of fans in India who would (and probably do) legit worship Jinder.

Everyone seems to be mad in this thread about Jinder, a heel, getting a push. No one likes Jinder, so considering he's getting heat, I don't think it would be too hard to make him credible when the hardest part of the job is achieved.

This is what smarks must have felt like in 2004 when Bradshaw got a main event push Yes. I was furious with that. This terrible midcarder goes from being the first man eliminated in the rumble to champion in 5 months, beating Eddie who had just began a great reign after working decades for it. JBL then went on to have a one of the worst reigns ever and basically got to me quit watching. If this was the Universal title I would be fine for a Jinder title win, but not the WWE belt... Though Bray just won it and he can't be worse than him.

I like Jinder, he's not as bad as people make out. He didn't deserve half the criticism he got over the whole Balor thing. Yet it doesn't matter how talented you are, you can't pick some guy who has lost at least 80% of his matches over the last six months, have him win one match and make him number one contender to the most prestiges title in the business.
This is the whole problem with WWE's awful lazy writing. They don't look any further than a month ahead when it comes to writing storylines.

Yeah, I love undeserving heel gimmicks myself. The whole JBL title run was fantastic, partly because people kept moaning that he didn't deserve it, even though that was the whole point. Same with Drew's run as the Golden One. He spent the whole time telling us he didn't need to do anything to impress the fans, because McMahon had hand picked him. He held back in the ring, played the role to perfection, yet people moaned that he wasn't impressing them. We see so many people ask for a bit of nuance in wrestling, and more intelligent booking. Then when it happens, so many people get played with the gimmick, and don't get they're being played, so the whole thing goes over their heads. Jinder is the right guy for it. He's not a bad good worker, he's a really good one (Balor screw up aside), he's just never been an interesting one. In that respect, he's perfect for the role, but on the other hand, the matches need to be watchable.

Holy shit, is Jinder actually getting a push off of scrambling the brains of one of the company's prospective top talents? Jesus christ.

If a guy is going to go the "not impressing fans in the ring" thing, its better to show that the person can go in the ring first. Then you have the comparison, this guy COULD be amazing and entertaining, but they're choosing not to be. If there's no basis for comparison, they're just coming out and having boring matches so people assume they're just no good. Like Anti-Hardcore Cactus Jack, because people knew who he was and what he did, so it made it a better heel move.

Of course it is, the guy has proven that he is the most determined and motivated superstar on the roster, that he has what it takes to go from near the bottom to the top
Orton has won the title 14 times already, what hunger does he have left to remain at the top? He could easily dismiss Mahal as no threat to someone of his achievements, and end up under estimating him
Sometimes the biggest threat is the one you don't expect.

Also I was a "Jinder Defender" too, but there is nothing nuanced about this push.

You could see they had plans for him, but I figured it'd be a couple of months down the line, give him some momentum, rather than jobber-contender in a week. Hell, put him in the same match, but Mojo does something to stop him winning, then he has that feud, Bollywood Boys come in since Mojo had his friend help him, win that feud. Then maybe Sami the feud after that, show him competitive with someone just outside the main event, THEN put him in a title feud.
