India is pretty much second only to China in terms of profitability going forward, if you can crack it. It's not massively rich but it's gargantuan; the population of the US is a bit over 300 million, while the population of India is a bit over 1.3 billion, in the same ballpark as China. That's the kind of sheer mass of bodies that big businesses can't afford to ignore, especially when the Americas and western Europe are drying up for so many industries.

Wondering if this leads to a Sami run at the title? They made it seem like a big deal when he beat Corbs last night. Of the current roster, I'd say him or AJ have to be the next contender. Unless they just bounce it back to Orton at MITB 😞

I stand by the fact that it 100% would never have happened without the physique, so he IS rewarding juicing. If Jinder still had his 3MB body, you can forget it. I'm willing to concede that breaking into the market was a factor but no loving way was it not influenced by Roidbody Mahal.

I sorta like Jinder. Now, I'd of course prefer the belt be given to guys who have been putting in great work but at this point I'm beyond cynical about that and aren't going to get worked up about it. If it's just going to be something stupid used for branding to the masses, and not to actually facilitate stories/reward people, than I'm cool letting Jinder try it out. As if people were enjoying Orton's, or Bray's, or Roman's or Sheamus' runs.

Also, I think sundays ppv was sorta perfect and I'm cool if that's the new format. Pack the first half of the card with really great in ring stories and matches and end it with some dumb rear end poo poo for the kids. Oh and begin every ppv with a Fashion Police match

Randy Orton is everything about the WWE that makes me remember why I don't watch the product as often as I used to.

I don't care if other wrestlers think he's a great worker, he may make the best gruel in the kitchen but it's still a bland thick paste.

“I don’t know why [they’re trying to appeal to India]. They have the TV deal, but people don’t have any f–king money out there, so I don’t know why they’re trying to [appeal to that market].

There [are] certain people that do, but the ones that do, I’m pretty sure aren’t f–king watching fake fighting.

The Nakamura match was fine but for how big a deal they made out of it it needed to be more than that.

I really think it was fine. He ate like four or five of Dolph's finishers, like Cena, and wins with just one finisher, also like Cena and Roman. I think this was their attempt to show how tough Nak is only it was lovely and didn't utilize Dolph's excellent ability to sell things like death.

The thing about underdogs is they eventually need to win when it matters. If the underdog doesn't get wins no one gives a poo poo.

Apex WrestleMania is going to be like 24 Hours of LeMans. Just straight 24 hours of a live show, commentary on shifts, the after hours portions are just the weirdest gimmick matches and adult themed while the morning matches are kid friendly, wrestlers wrestling at least four times in those 24 hours. The prime time main event is a pyramid of ladders on top of three cages where Jeff Hardy will dive off with a flying elbow from a Whisper in the Wind gaining maximum velocity where his elbow starts flaming and he explodes on impact. Only to miss and have his pants rolled up letting James Ellsworth claim the Universal title.

Sami is being used perfectly. He wins just enough to be a credible threat to anyone while maintaining his scrappy underdog status. He'll even probably get a feel-good title win at some point when someone gets injured and they are scrambling. Really he's overachieving for a guy who likes ska.

Not really. Daniel Bryan was guy who said no than guy who said Yes. Character of underdog really doesn't need much.
