So bad lol

The giant rug he was standing on was more interesting. Nakamura's used mouthguard had more charisma.

Splaya 02-28-2022 12:58 PM

Don't hinder Jinder.

Splaya 02-28-2022 12:59 PM

But in all seriousness, I see the business aspect of it. But a 2-3 month title run would have been a nice moment. But a super long title run....plus as some people put it, the Punjabi Prison Match. Fuck that. Especially with the Great Khali interfering

Big Vic 02-28-2022 01:27 PM

Should have lost to Nak

Mr. Nerfect 02-28-2022 01:45 PM

I thought Jinder was released for a second there.

Holy shit, was he terrible. He may be more relaxed in the spot now or whatever, but in 2017 it was between him and Zack Ryder as to who was the absolute dirt worst on the roster.

GD 02-28-2022 01:51 PM

What did Ryder do in 2017?

I’ll never forget how amazingly nonsensical it was that they had a 6 man match on Smackdown to decide the #1 contender for the IC title and then the next week, the losers of that match had a 5 way match to decide the #1 contender for the WORLD title. Lol

That has always stood out to me as a notably clear statement by WWE saying “lol None of this shit matters, it’s hilarious that you’re tuning in as if it does.”

GD 02-28-2022 10:00 PM

Mahal is the worst Canadian champion of all time. And one of them even committed double murder-suicide.

Lock Jaw 02-28-2022 10:28 PM

Damn sweet theme and entrance though. Pretty much the only thing I can give him.

mad gyno tho

Jinder as a foreign heel worked better than Cesaro because Cesaro is too good in the ring to be truly hated. I dont believe he was only champion to expand in India considering when they actually went to India he got jobbed out to Triple H. I think it was certainly part of it, but it was also how jacked he got and Vince loving evil foreign heels.

I still think it came out of resentment for finding himself pushing a bunch of independent style no-marks. The eventual history with India will be valuable, but it wasn’t something that was going to pay dividends there and then, and you could tell it wasn’t right away.

That or Vince also accepted a bet and lost.

Wait, wait, wait...they put the fucking World Title on JINDER FUCKING MAHAL?????https://i.imgur.com/ufzCrrF.gif

They sure did.

Lock Jaw 03-01-2022 08:35 PM

It was at a time when Smackdown was feeling fresh and new and great right off the brand split and had a lot of promise.... then they kinda killed it with Mahal

Well, WM 32 was my cut-off day so I most definitely avoided that shitshow. SmackDown! around that time was most certainly not feeling fresh and new and great.

I didnt even mind Jinder winning it, but they then proceeded to book him like a worldbeater for like 5 months, which made no sense.

The brand split was after WM32, or so Wikipedia tells me..... It was feeling real good for a bit right after the split, with Ambrose as champ, then AJ Styles... even Dolph Ziggler got a little push and was interesting in the main event fighting for the title.... the Orton/Wyatt story....

Then Mahal won the title and it was just like "what" and all Smackdown momentum seemed to kind of grind to a halt..... Styles eventually won the title off Jinder but by then the damage was done and it was like "who cares now"

Rammsteinmad 03-02-2022 05:25 AM

I totally was fine with given Mahal a chance as champion. He came back from absence (injury? released?) looking like a million bucks! However, he still sucked in the ring and on the mic. But props to him for getting in such great shape!

Mr. Nerfect 03-02-2022 05:32 PM

He was fired because he wasn’t very good.

Mr. Nerfect 03-02-2022 05:32 PM

Mad props to him turning his life around, don’t get me wrong.

Supreme Olajuwon 03-02-2022 07:30 PM

Ignorant question here: is Jinder getting jacked the reason why Drew McIntyre also got jacked?

Lock Jaw 03-02-2022 08:20 PM

That's a personal question

OMOS (tall, but he's really not athletic and he's not good in the ring either)
Robert Roode
Veer (I doubt he's ever going to actually appear on RAW if he hasn't by now)

I want to repost this: not as a sign of shitting on slik, because I would have agreed with pretty much this whole list except maybe Omos - because when you're that tall in WWE, being immobile and "not good" isn't enough to be shown the door. I mean, they put The Great Khali in the goddamn HOF! WWE has a track record with that. But everyone else? Yeah, I would have absolutely cosign'd.

I also would have gone the extra mile and suggested an ongoing timer clock for Veer's debut much like the timer website for JTG's WWE employment.

And we'd have both been very wrong.

Anything really can happen in the WWE.

yeah at nxt since 2016, if they did not see anything before now they would never push her.

Danny Electric 04-29-2022 05:28 PM

That Harland must have been poor in the ring then. Had a good look and they were very hot on him when they brought him in.

Sepholio 04-29-2022 05:37 PM

Yeah I'm surprised by Harland being on the list.

xrodmuc316 04-29-2022 05:38 PM

Diamond Mine is the most cursed faction ever.

They took any look Bordeaux had away from him the moment he debuted on screen looking like Snitsky.
