I don't care if this is just for promotional sake for India, I'm so glad they pulled the trigger on this. As many others have said, don't beg for something different and then complain when you get it.

 

Hell yeah Jinder

Fuck Randy

This rules

 

Why does it make zero sense? Randy lost what was essentially a 3 on 1 match to a heel.

Also,

 

Vince must think there is a ton of money in the India market

Plus those muscles - Vince is all in!

 

It just hilarious to see a dude jobbing out on Raw to winning apparently the most prestigious title in all of wrestling in a month

 

And this genuinely could lead to a true face getting over. Anyone up against Mahal (besides Orton probably) is going to get decent cheers. Would love if Sami somehow wins it.

Regardless, it's different and has me interested into their plans.

 

Eh, my problem is they basically took any kayfabe logic and just shit all over it. 40 days ago Jinder was losing to Mojo, clean, in about 90 seconds. Suddenly because he's got the Bollywood Boyz (who have no televised wins), he's more powerful than Bray Wyatt?

Randy can deal with the ring shapeshifting mid-match, and beat a man with teleportation powers, but two cruiserweights are what topple him?

There's working a crowd by having a hometown favorite winning, and then there's wasting months of storylines and builds in service of...whatever this is.

 

But if it was Sami Zayn who just won the title...

 

jesus christ reddit

 

Exactly - this makes zero sense and it's WWE booking doing a shock finish just for the sake of having a shocking finish

 

Sami has never been a jobber but if they did the same thing with him it'd make very little sense

 

Wrestlers can win matches, gain momentum, and go on a hot streak. I don't know why that's hard to believe compared to some of the other weird shit they do.

Sometimes we look way too deep into this stuff. I dunno, I still don't like jinder, but credit to them for trying something different

 

It's a joke making fun of a similar stunt the Trump subreddit pulled

 

But really Smackdown booking went to shit when they had Bray drop the belt - the show has been awful ever since Mania

 

thank god

 

But yeah i will admit that I'm glad the belt is off of Orton

 

Seriously. I mean, that's why people love MMA/boxing/combat sports. Because with one good shot, anyone could beat anyone else. This is not an unrealistic thing. It has happened many, many times in sport.

 

Feels like people would complain that Buster Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson.

 

DREW, YOU SAID SOMETHING KINDA POSITIVE ABOUT WWE PROGRAMMING ARE YOU FEELING OKAY?!

I kid, I kid

 

KO shitting all over Rosenberg on Talking Smack right now is inspired work

 

I loved Takeover

 

But this isn't sport and isn't even presented as such. If it was then the Singhs would be banned for life. Wrestling has outside interference, supernatural characters, spots with weapons, etc. It can't be compared to legit combat sports in that manner

 

Rosenberg is being pushed into the the new Michael Cole role. Grrrreeeaatttt

 

Agreed on this. Though Im thinking MITB is gonna be Randy getting his win back, making this dumber

 

my god KO is amazing
