I don't really want to reread two pages so I apologize if I just missed it, but does anybody have good reasoning for Jinder winning that doesn't include either "making butthurt smarks angry" or "because it's something different and unexpected"?

JR always talks about how it's important for a non-monster heel Champion to be "beatable." Like, if you feel that anyone COULD beat him at any time if they could just overcome the numbers game, that's money.
Jinder is a perfect guy for this. They tried it with Seth but then he'd go beat people clean and you knew they were invested in him long term. With Jinder, you honestly feel like any defense could be the end. You know they have no long-term plans for him. --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CvGKDK2WIAAmKTf?format=jpg&name=large ... Copied to Clipboard!

WWE India expansion Is there reason to believe that Jinder holding the top title of the #2 brand has a significantly greater impact on that than, say, one of the midcard titles? Or hell, Mustafa Ali is a great wrestler, give him the CruiserWeight belt and put him in the spotlight a while.

I think it's kind of sad that WWE thinks the only way to push into India is by making one Indian (but not really) guy a star. The movie industry has been exploding in China over the last decade with American made films featuring (mostly) white guys who speak English. Why? Because they make competent movies. WWE knows it doesn't make competent wrestling and the only way to make inroads is to foist some quick heat onto an Indian guy "cuz Indian".
Bret Hart was a huge star in Europe. Was he from any of those countries? No. Stan Hansen was a huge star in Japan. Was he from Japan? No. You can find hundreds of these examples throughout wrestling history. The difference is... you have to have a star people in the location in which you wish to expand care about. And WWE doesn't. Because WWE doesn't even have stars Americans care about anymore. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer ... Copied to Clipboard!

So, a few questions. I found the following through Google... To answer the first question, SummerSlam 98 had a buy rate of 700K. Second question: Backlash 2000 with 625K (Austin's first advertised appearance in 5 months = ratings). WCW's #2 ppv was apparently Bash at the Beach 98 with 600K (advertising Hogan and 2 NBA players in the main event will do that) --- Formerly known as Raven 2 http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/ZeroSignal620.png ...

I feel like I ought to be upset about Jinder, but I find it impossible anymore, frankly.
Because he's not even the worst world champion on the roster right now, because the other one can't be assed to show up. I just know WWE isn't great, they don't make good decisions, but I can only really feel any kind of malice towards decisions that actively annoy me and make watching their product a chore.

Wwe presents:
"The realization that part time wrestlers and the extended family of the rock are making the product much worse." In This ppv all of the part timers and relatives of the rock (the usos, roman reigns, nia jax, that cruiserweight guy who shows up to job on nxt every few months) are forced to compete in i quit matches for any titles they may hold, with all of them losing. The product becomes infinitely more palletable I know what youre thinking, this is just more roman hate. But really its uso hate (theyre terrible, both in the ring and out of it.) and brock being given the title for no reason hate. --- These minor spelling errors were brought to you by an ipad having no real feedback to enable me to know when i mistype and my own laziness. ...
