Jinder Mahal fucking sucks. Dude is the single worst wrestler that has ever smeared himself across a WWE ring without an excuse for it. He's an injury-prone botch machine who somehow got an extreme amount of milage out of having the skill and charisma of a mannquinn, whose only selling points have nothing to do with him - A produced entrance and a 'fresh taste' in lieu of the usual main eventers back during his WWE title run. Y'know, like how there wasn't also a roster of countless other wrestlers who would've also been a fresh taste to the scene in addition to being able to wrestle a match without being accompanied by narcolepsy. Dude is the drizzling shits, and is so slow that the 80's called and asked if he was able to step it up a bit. Now, that being said, while I'm far, far from a fan of him, at the end of the day it's still someone losing their job and I'll rarely if ever celebrate that. I'd always want a sucky wrestler to stop sucking and get better at their work. Hopefully he lands on his feet somewhere and improves to a sustainable degree. Put in the work and he'll be fine.

Too bad, I'm replying!

I basically agree with nearly everything you said. For the Jinder character and his ability as a "main eventer." It was a rough time to be a fan when he was WWE Champion. But the man himself has always been well spoken and genuinely nice, so him as a person I like. Funny thing is, like what Sky mentioned with Veer, they could have told a unique story when he got his push. You know "Hey, I'm a Jobber and I somehow lucked my way into becoming WWE Champion." But they just painted over him with the generic foreign heel and it did him no favours. Oddly enough, if they had pushed, you know, someone more "main event ready/closer to main event" like Brodie Lee, Miro/Rusev, Sami Zayn and instead gave Jinder a gradual mid-card push, developing his character slowly, getting wins against mid-card wrestlers and finding entertaining storylines then I would have been sold on him having a US title run for a few months then going from there.

Then Veer, he didn't need a baseball gimmick. But using his real life story as motivation for him becoming a monster of a man, wanting to tear the world down for "Exploiting his story" or turning him into a marketing ploy, that would have been interesting.

I know some will say 'but what about...' but Grimes peaked in NXT with that goofy crypto character. Don't think it would have worked on the main roster so he's essentially back to square one.

THEY MADE A COIN FOR DOGS!

Genius. One of the rare times they came up with a character that was basically on the nose of something going on with the Gamestop Stock short squeeze and Crypto still being fresh and less of a joke.

Grimes is an amazing worker and was super over in nxt, they never gave him a chance to do shit on the main so I completely disagree. If he he gets cut, it's def a miss

The only one I think that got a Raw deal was Veer. The man never came to Raw like we were told his was. Plus, out of this group, he has some potential.

Was a huge fan of Grimes going back to his TNA days as Trevor Lee.

His NXT run was definitely his peak stuff in WWE. There could have been something on the main roster but they brought him up with no definitive character. In WWE, you’re only going to go so far by just be a good worker. You need a character or personality and he wasn’t done any favors in regards to the latter once he got called up to Smackdown.

Would hate to see him get released but it wouldn’t be much of a loss.
