I'm thinking of no longer watching Smackdown if Jinder retains at Hell in a Cell (Maybe I'll start watching again once he drops the title). He'll have run out of feuds after Hell in a Cell, and he is quite possibly one of (if not) the worst WWE champions in the company's history.

I haven't even bothered to watch any of the hype for this match. Even the other week where Jinder said something racist apparently, I was like... whatever, I cannot even be bothered to track that down to see it

Jinder wrestles like every interminable steroid man who was bad in 80s WWF so maybe Vince is just reliving his youth

I loving knew this would happen the moment Jinder won the belt and people were like "naw it's fine, he's a good transitional champ, DON'T HINDER JINDER LOLZ." Now he's gonna hold it for a loving year, God help us all.

I can't manage dislike for Jinder for bombing horribly as champ.

A guy who wrestles squash matches (on the squashed side, so he doesn't even get to figure out 'hey this is a move I can do') for nearly his entire career can't carry any part of a main event feud? That's why you have a guy wrestle long matches on house shows and whatnot before putting him in that role.

Not that it'd have saved Jinder, but it'd at least make things less bad?

Every full-timer WWE champion is either a cheating loser if a heel or total idiot if a face, so someone bad I don't care about is the best choice to hold it.

I would still rather take Jinder doing the same thing every week as a heel that leads eventually to a hot babyface taking the title over Randy Orton holding the title for a year with pretty minimal reactions as a face/heel

Both "don't hinder Jinder" and "he's just going to be a transitional champ, it's fine" were absolutely things said frequently soon after his win. We can talk about whether said comments were ironic or legit serious, because that's actually debatable, but they were both done

On the 1% chance this is ever actually the result, I'd agree with you

Right now I consider the brand split ending and Reigns unifying the belts to be more likely than that

And guess what, I got mad about it. Because it sucked, sucks, and will always suck. RAW is practically '99 in comparison.

Remember that time they had the perfect opportunity to double turn Braun and Roman and completely solidify the top face and top heel positions on Raw?

Remember how the next night, Roman came out and mumbled some poo poo about the Attitude Era and then was put into a match for a title shot?

Remember how the next week, Braun came back with some fabric around his arm and then it was never mentioned again?

WWE Champion: Jinder Mahal, cowardly heel who needs help to win

RAW Women's: Alexa Bliss, cowardly heel who cheats to win
Smackdown Women's: Natalya, cowardly heel who ... doesn't do anything, really
Cruiserweight: Enzo Amore, cowardly heel who cheats to win

UK: Pete Dunne, badass heel who coincidentally is the coolest champion across all brands

At least there are actual babyface champions this time around, unlike the summer when Naomi was literally the only one.

The subscription numbers are literally down in India so it's not an India thing, and I never argued it has nothing to do with India, I argued it has far more to do with whatever mutagen Jinder has been injecting.

Alexa is an asterisk.

She wins titles and PPV defenses usually pretty cleanly, but loses every non-singles match (frequently taking the loss herself) and most singles matches too, unless she cheats.

Natalya's not really cowardly, but unfortunately that's because Natalya's not really anything. She's not face or heel, she's just kind of a jerk. In retrospect, I'm not sure why they took the title off Naomi, who at least had a cool aesthetic on herself and the belt.

I remember when I thought all the neverending heel champion bullshit was building up to putting over a bunch of babyfaces at SummerSlam to make it feel like a really big show. Except
Universal: Retained, champ went right back to loving off.
WWE: Retained with the same interference bullshit.
Raw Women's: Babyface won then immediately dropped it back.
SmackDown Women's: Heel beat the babyface.
SmackDown Tags: Heels beat the babyfaces (granted, those heels are of the badass limb shattering variety, not the cowardly cheating variety, so I'll give it a pass)
Cruiserweight: The babyface won on Raw, then immediately dropped it back....so another babyface could win it, then immediately turn heel!

Big shock, the one championship where the babyfaces went over clean and then got to keep the titles, the Raw Tags, is the one thing that doesn't feel like it's in a creative black hole right now.

Also, AJ retained but they've botched AJ's current babyface run so bad, he was almost a better babyface when he was a cheating heel champion. gently caress.

I think it's more to do with India (but his stupid gross body is a major factor as well), it's just that they're stupid and don't realize it's not gonna work.
