This was sort of obvious from the get go. Doesn't make it any better.
There's a pretty long history of WWE pushing guys, and making weird decisions based on a market they're expanding into. It doesn't work.
Not to mention, any shred of momentum they're able to attach to him heading into Payback will almost certainly be spent when he has a total clunker with Randy Orton.

A couple of matches with Randy Orton will soon make all his heat go and people lose interest with him. Honestly, Randy Orton is one of the most boring in ring performers of the last decade and for me, most people who get into a program with him never come out looking any better. this is crazy too because he was so much fun to watch as the Legend Killer and ever since he dropped that gimmick hes been meh and decent at best. His promos with Wyatt were fun but the match blew dick. He's gotten so complacent, like he doesn't care anymore to try because he's so established. |

Former writers have told stories of Randy talking to his opponents backstage listing off the myriad of things he won't do, mostly to protect his shoulder. He's perfectly content making his money and working an extremely safe style. On one hand, you can't blame the guy, but on the other, it undoubtedly makes him one of, if not the least interesting wrestler on the roster. I used to look forward to Randy Orton feuds and matches. Now I dread just about every one of them. If you've seen one Randy Orton match from the last 4-5 years, you've seen them all. |

Why not keep him on RAW and have him face Intercontinental champ Dean Amrbrose? Dudes been jobbing for last 6 months and wins a 6 way to face Orton for WWE Title. WHAT? To add, I cant be the only one who says the 3 way of AJ, Zayn, and Corbin should have been WWE Championship shot and 6 way for US title. Harper, Rowan, Mojo, Mahal, Ziggler, Zayn for the WWE title shot? The  you doing, Vince. this is crazy too because he was so much fun to watch as the Legend Killer and ever since he dropped that gimmick hes been meh and decent at best.

Orton said something along the lines of he plays it safe all the time and to just go ahead and take the shot with the RKO spot, in part something could have went wrong and came off terrible. |

I don't hate Orton but I enjoy him a lot better when he's been away for a while. I remember when he first came back to feud with Lesnar, quite a lot of people were so happy to see him. After just a few months you kinda thought he'd benefit from time off again. Does get stale too quick. |

Then the following week it was give all the guys that missed out on the US title match a shot at our main title. Something AJ was literally just feuding over Shane with and he pretty much got screwed out of another title shot because he was already locked into a mid card title feud. Been some head scratching booking on Smackdown past few months. |

So Jinder is basically the right guy, at the right place, at the wron--right time..let me say it one more time, so you completely understand, McMahon. If you actually believe in your mind, if you actually think that Jinder is just the right gay-guy, at the right place, at the right time, well then you're a bigger delusional bastard than I thought you were, McMahon
In seriousness, I don't mind Jinder getting a push

Jinder Mahal's out-of-nowhere push that has sent him from the lower card to main event reminds me a whole hell of a lot of what happened with Bradshaw/JBL in 2004. 13 years ago, JBL emerged after Faarooq's "firing" as a Wall Street tycoon, and began a heavyweight title feud with Eddie Guerrero that very evening. Anyone find some similarities between Mahal's unexpected push and JBL's?

Anyone find some similarities between Mahal's unexpected push and JBL's? I said the exact same thing a few days ago... I like the thought of the Bollywood Boys as Mahal's lackeys. A WWE title shot may have been a bit soon, but I'm intrigued. It's almost like the JBL push. Out of nowhere but it worked...eventually. That being said, I'm gonna merge this into the other Jinder thread to prevent too many going at one time. |

I love the push but I think Jinder shouldn't win it on his first try against Randy (not saying I don't want Randy to lose, I feel his character is so stale now)
I like him to get a push and eventually win the championship but not go over with the whole Anti-American thing. Rusev does it and we don't need two on the same show.

Yeah I like the Bollywood Boyz as his henchmen, like the Stooges and J&J Security. |

Being Indian myself, this is pretty cool. But I really hope he doesn't get shoved down our throats like how WWE did with Del-Rio as a way to keep the Mexican fan-base happy.

Yeah, they shouldve built him up for 6 months, so we could all complain about how much we hate how theyre booking him.

I acknowledge the fact they have a huge market in India, and if they want to have a star for that market that's great and all.
But jobbing said star for the past 7-8 months in 4 minute matches before suddenly being shot into the main event scene is not the way to do it. Essentially you're saying anyone has a shot at this title, anybody on the card, which shouldn't be the case. Guys on that elite level should be challenging for it. Maybe they think they can build Jinder to that level, but his prior booking doesn't support it one bit. It doesn't make any sense.
He should have been protected to a degree for the past few months if they wanted to do this. Because this is honestly laughable. I will not be attending Backlash if Jinder vs Orton headlines.

Did it bother anybody else that when Wyatt's video played on Smackdown, Orton turned his back on Mahal and that was the last we saw of Jinder in that segment?
To me it seemed like lazy story telling and made Mahal seem like less of a threat. I figured that Mahal would blind side attack Orton after the Wyatt video, but nope the segment ended.
Also, the Bollywood Boyz just disappeared after interfering in the match instead of solidifying an alliance with Mahal.
Little details like that bother me, because why would a heel #1 contender not take advantage of a champion who is distracted and had turned his back on them?

Just wish things had worked out for Muhammad Hassan I feel like they are trying to rehash the Hassan gimmick with Mahal.
