Singh Brothers def going to eat some F5's

Wait, the India tour is only two shows? That is why Jinder has been kept champion so long? For two house shows?

Theres no way they'd put him in a match vs Lesnar with a legit busted up shoulder if the intention wasnt for the shoulder to be "hurt" in the match and force him to vacate the belt even if it is a non title match

Gets worse considering the tour of India supposedly wasn't even originally planned. The rumors about it was due to WWE having a tour of Asia later this year and only Japan and maybe China were actually confirmed as locations.

WWE won't do this. For all the logistical reasons that #1-wwf-fan and Destor have laid out. Jinder is so far behind Brock in terms of perception it isn't funny. It's why Jinder isn't a star and the WWE Title hasn't meant shit lately. If this match happens, and Brock just slowly fucks Jinder, I will laugh, but I have no clue why they'd book it. Unless it is to end the Jinder experiment.

Brock scrapped the Finn Balor and Shane McMahon matches because he's too smart to sell for that shit. He's not going into overdrive to sell Jinder barely being able to put one foot in front of the other. It won't happen. If the match happens, it is to erase Jinder. Might as well unify the belts and end the brand split, but they're too stubborn for that. This is Vince McMahon imploding.

Let's not forget they wasted Shinsuke Nakamura on this as well, I mean if they wanted to feed Shinsuke Nakamura to someone at least with Lesnar there is a potential good story there but now it seems he might be "done" and the title means fuck all

It's really astonishing to see that so many people in authoritative positions don't seem to realize that Jinder sucks doo doo.

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I like Jinder. He's got the look of a champion and he's improved tremendously on promos.

With that being said, all the racial shit with Nakamura, plus him being booked weak as a champion has me clamoring for someone to take the title from him. I do not at all blame Jinder for the lacklusterness of this title run.

Is Jinder really that bad?

Jinder probably loses by count out as he takes his belt and runs away.

I'm mostly bummed about it because it means Survivor Series will become a Raw vs. SmackDown show yet again. Fucking dumb that they put everything on hold so that people can feud because of "brand pride".

The brand pride thing is so uninteresting

Champion vs champion =/= brand pride

If anything this might spare us a stale brand vs brand 4v4 match

The WWE squandered all my other Dream matches (I still have Owens v Brock Nakamura V Brock and Asuka v Brock ) Jinder V Brock would be cool if I didnt know it was gonna be ridiculously short.

I was all for his push at first because it was someone new getting a chance, but his promos are awful and his matches are pretty bad.

Yeah, it was a ridiculous push to begin with, but I decided to "give him a chance"...... and he failed.

Just gonna leave this here:

It's definitely going to be about brand pride though. Why would the GMs decide to book their champions against each other unless they wanted to be able to pump their chest over having the "top champion of WWE"? Lesnar may not give a shit about repping Raw, but Angle will.

Anyway last year's show featured 5 interbrand matches so I'm guessing it'll be something similar this year. Really would prefer to let Raw and SmackDown have their own elimination matches, though.

This makes sense. But it would also require Daniel Bryan to seriously be like "Oh, you think your champion Brock Lesnar is better!? Well we've got Jinder Mahal!"

Which I just... can't imagine. Unless they want to go with a "Daniel Bryan's concussions are really fucking with his brain" storyline.

That would be pretty hilarious.

If there is a 5 vs 5 match, I guess the field would have to be:

Miz, Braun, and The Shield vs. Styles, Nakamura, KO, Zayn, Orton

I mean in theory that is a seriously hot lineup that could make for a ridiculously fun match. But even as somebody who loves 80% of the guys on that SmackDown team, I fail to see how they believably could take that Raw team.

If they're going to do brand elimination matches, I'd like them to do The Shield, Finn Balor & Jason Jordan vs. Owens, Zayn, Styles & The Usos. I don't really like how they have faces and heels on the same side, but the heel SmackDown team hiding behind AJ Styles could be fun. Then have The Miz, Braun, Sheamus & Cesaro respond to their TLC loss by attacking some SmackDown babyfaces. I'd have gone with Orton, Nakamura, Harper & Chad Gable. Shelton can be "hurt" and left out of the match.

I was fairly certain that they weren't going to do this, but then I have it some more thought, and I realized that there is nothing they won't do now. All the rules are out the window -- you can't apply logic to these sorts of scenarios anymore. The more I think about it, the more I can imagine Brock Lesnar being the one guy that Jinder Mahal isn't scared of for some reason because it makes no sense.

The worst part of this is realizing that if they had done the logical thing and put the belt on Nakamura, we'd be getting Lesnar/Nakamura. :'(

They ruined Nakamura... to put over Jinder Mahal...

Still sounds fucking bizarre.

It doesn't just SOUND bizarre....it IS bizarre. I still can't wrap my head around that one. Sure, one time Jinder goes over with his/Singh Bros hijinks, but Nakamura should have been the one to overcome those hijinks in the end.

:roll:

So a match between a guy who these days just does german suplexes and an f5, and the other guy who......has people interfere so he can hit his one move on the opponent? Sounds like money. :n::shifty:

The more I think about it, the more confused I am as to why I thought Nakamura would be a good fit for the WWE. The guy's whole mystique is that he isn't like everybody else. You can't send him to the WWE where everybody is like everybody else. It was never going to be that he stood out, it was that he would be tweaked until he was safe and familiar.

I knew it would happen. I just didn't think it would happen that fast. Again I underestimate just how good WWE is at making everything shit.

This is perfect.

I started to have my doubts even when Nakamura was in NXT. Then when Jinder won the WWE Title I was like "It doesn't even matter anymore." Like, what does Nakamura beating the worst member of 3MB mean? Do all the ribbons and confetti after that title win you want.

Jinder Challenged Cena for WM 34

Who wouldn't wanna see that

yes you might consider this a DAMN iNATOR-esque post but I don't give a fuck... so here is my response to this
 

Makes sense as a match. I mean, they're in with Jinder and they're in with Reigns. The idea of Cena going after #17 is a good "B-plot" for WrestleMania. Not entirely sure they even switch the belt there though. I could see Cena taking time off after Mania and Vince being stubborn with this whole India thing. I can see the idea being that Jinder makes it through WrestleMania as the champion. Cena wouldn't mind lying down. The fan reaction would be interesting.

When did Jinder challenge Big Match John?

The "lolWWE" thing to do would be for Cena to win and get #17 at WrestleMania and then just drop the title right back to him the next week on Smackdown.

I would not at all be surprised if they did that. At all.
