        My Mrs just text me asking about the ring break on Monday. It has more of an impact on people other than us Wrestling fans. Its gone a bit viral clearly.

          Are they trying to appeal to the Indian market?

            Apparently so. They have just opened a WWE Shop in India and there is going to be a push for the Bollywood Boys too. They have also appointed a VP in India too, which obviously means expansion in India for the Network, recruiting talent, promoting live events and negotiating TV deals.

            Shame both acts are rubbish.

              I doubt all those viral views translate to Network subs. Which is what really counts.

                Youtube views. Eyes on the product. Bit of mainstream attention.

                  No it can't but WWE is a listed company in the business of making money. I highly doubt that angle created any money for them.

                    Reading today that Jinder's push was meant for Rusev but with him being injured, they needed another 'foreign' heel and Jinder fit the bill.

                    Honestly - I'm fine with him getting the push. It's just....weird. The guy was jobbing on Raw 2 weeks ago!

                      His last televised singles win was against Jack Swagger in September last year apparently.

                        Unreal. I saw what Meltzer said about Mahal and Vince is still stuck in the 80s.

                          Yeah it is an odd one alright, guess it makes sense of a sort (in Vince's mind anyway) if he is filling Rusev's slot.

                          Might have been better to just wait for Rusev to return from injury, and run the angle at that point.
                          I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

                            It's the two WWE UK shows in Norwich this weekend. Apparently the wrestlers still don't know if it's TV taping or not. I suspect it may be a pilot to test the feasibility and quality of a couple of shows.

                            Progress SSS16 in 2 weeks as well - 3 days of utter madness, can't wait!

                              The World of Sport TV tapings have been postponed due to 'Contractual Issues'

                                I'm assuming it's TV tapings. Who knows though.

                                Looking forward to it, we're going to the Saturday show.
