I wasn't sure if I was on board with this, but seeing things like "This is worse than Rockstar Spud" and "This is worse than Arquette" make it worth it.

Exactly. If it pisses off self righteous idiots then it's automatically a good thing.

The show doesn't even place in the Top 20 anymore on the Network's weekly ratings. Hasn't since Bryan disappeared.


so you're saying Bryan's disappearance has because he's been giving Jinder the Talking Smack bump. this entire time he's been charging up Jinder being Unhindered.

The thing with Rock is a lot of black wrestlers knew Vince wouldn't see him as "truly black". Koko did an interview about this.

I almost feel like samoans are exempt from WWE's racist history.

I mean I actually love the legit shock booking but despite pulling for Jinder hard here I really was falling asleep.

Unfortunately dude is just not good. But it's still better than Orton winning

That's not what I'm saying because the words you used in conjunction with one another are nonsensical and I at least tried to put together a cogent thought.

I guess I just look at all of the talent being wasted on an audience that is dangerously close to dropping beneath 2 million.

This is far worse than Russo or Arquette could ever be.


No, those two were worse. Also add Rey, who never touches a world title if Eddie didn't pass away

I've had sleeping problems for years. Knowing this actually fucking happened isn't going to help. I don't know how to feel. Wyatt should have never lost the title nor moved to Raw. Orton did nothing as champion...but this? This is something you do in 2K Universe Mode, not in real life.

Does that mean Darren Young will beat Brock Lesnar?

Well yeah I don't count Rock as a black champion since he personally identifies as Samoan.

But you've still got Hispanics in Morales, Eddie, Rey, and ADR

Ive said multiple times Rey was probably the least deserving WRESTLER of all time to ever win it, (though that changed tonight)

I will GUANANTEE you that Arquette had a better record, and Russo was more over than Jinder.

Oh, I should actually say that Khali beating Undertaker and winning the title was so huge in India. Jinder Mahal on Talk is Jericho said that Undertaker is so popular in India and that they would tell their children if they don't go to sleep, then the Undertaker would get them. So Khali beating Taker was the biggest thing to happen in India.

I should also point out that Jinder on that podcast was the most humble dude, but he did sound a bit like he was in over his head and that he wishes he could have time, but he's going to make the most of it.

Also, I don't like Peter Rosenberg as a personality. He's pretty annoying and sounds so fake all the time.

All I want to be is entertained. But Jinder is not entertaining. He doesn't have good matches. His promos are Muhammad Hassan's promos from ten years ago. I've seen it before. It didn't entertain me then, it doesn't entertain me now. I know that wrestling will never be a bastion of intelligent creativity, but it needs to at least make an effort. There are such things as great characters in wrestling. I just don't see them on Smackdown now. To me, the Hardys on TNA were hilarious and a joy to watch. Stupid as hell, but they found ways to be very clever while relishing in the ridiculous nature of their gimmick. They were creative. Jinder is not creative.

Ted DiBiase is the perfect example of a heel. He was a caricature, a skin-deep archetype. But he tapped in to something special, he had the acting chops to make it work, and it got over because of it. This dialogue is processed, spat out without soul or heart, and put on a worker who isn't impressive.

They need Orton to get to 16

So then he and Cena can fight for a vacant title, winner wins the race to 17

If you're seriously going to have trouble sleeping because Jinder Mahal won the WWE Title, you probably should take a step back and just stop watching

Well, I knew they were going to save all their stuff for the next match, so it was really cold for most of it. It picked up at the end, but it wasn't nearly as entertaining at Breezango vs Usos.
