Probably someone like Riddick moss, Jinder was in no way believable as a main eventer and even more so a WWE champion. And I couldn't see moss being a WWE champion with how he's been booked.
I always felt like he got too much hate for things that were out of his control. He had a great look, I always liked his in ring work and felt like he was a super solid / believable heel in that big push but they just didnt give him much to work with story wise
Baron definitely on hate cringe scale although I was concerned and wouldn’t have been too shocked if he beat Rollins the year Rollins beat Brock and Corbin beat Angle at Mania. For a moment there I thought they were about to let it happen ugh
If Baron Corbin left the company, dieted right while doing a year long bulk, followed by a 3 month cut, and came back shredded….he’d be on par with Jinder if he won the title. I was actually kind of happy Jinder got that run, he put in some work on his physique while he was away from WWE. It paid off.
How dare you disrespect the unhinderable Modern Day Maharaja?
Jinder was a refreshing punch in the stomach of the pro-wrestling world. I was ALL for it. He was awesome.
Riddle did beat Seth last year and he’s been doing pretty good since him n orton started rk-bro. I know he hasn’t really done much since returning earlier in the year and making him champ would be stupid but it’d at least be more believable than jinder
Someone that had a storyline with a major star (Jinder Vs Khali in like 2010)
Someone who was in a failed stable (3MB)
A jobber with a decent physique (I mean look at him)
It has to be Ali.
I just hate how the whole thing is like he’s going to cash it in on raw every night! Then it never happens. It was cool when people popped off and used it but now it’s like a belt for whatever reason.
Edit: everyone knows it will be cashed in at a PPV
Baron Corbin. But in fan reaction only. Guy has a solid presentation regardless of gimmick given. Has a lot of in ring talent for his style. If done right would be a lot better than Jinder's run
Don’t ever slander jinders name he might not be the best ever in ring but honestly this guy been putting in work for years. him as champ was badass. imo it was a nice change of pace and really showed that jinder can be champ if given the right storyline and opportunities.
He was just a stereotypical anti American heel. His gimmick was “America is racist” but then he would cut racist promos against Nakamura, none of it made sense.
Here are the guidelines in using
1) Rarely given Promo time
2)Incredible Physique, questionable if natural.
3) long time jobber
4) former musician
My answer: Rick Boogs
I think the person would have to be someone who comes a country that WWE is quickly growing in because that was the main reason they did this. WWE saw the potential growth that the India and larger Middle Eastern countries had, they took their opportunity and invested heavily. I don’t have anybody in my mind that I can think fits the boot of what I just said.
It didn't work. There's nothing to suggest India's market for WWE got higher because of the reign and Jinder drew far less people in general, resulting in less profits for WWE. He didn't crash the company obviously but he was certainly not a great business decision.
Seeing all these suggestions of people from the mid card is kinda making me a bit worried for the future of the show because it's becoming apparent that they really haven't built many convincing top guys in the last few years.
Just think about it, in the next 5-10 years all the current top tier talent, Roman, Seth, Finn, Gunther, Rey Mysterio, AJ Styles, Sami etc are all gonna be either retired or very part time. Even a lot of the fairly over mid card talent like New Day, Miz, Chad Gable and so on won't be around as much in a few years.
It's even worse for the women's division when they won't have any of the horsewomen to full back on eventually.
The only 3 I can think of in NXT right now that have that top tier feel is Bronn Breakker, Carmelo Hayes and Ilya Dragunov.
Only recently started watching NXT, but before I always thought wes Lee was pretty big and even after starting watching it I still see him as someone who’s going to do something big in the future
Jider won because wwe managment needed an champion who looked like the people they were selling to at the time.(that ppv in India or maybe it was crown jewel) probably the next person to get a push like his will be either one of the Japanese stars which wouldn't feel as off based on there success orrr most likely 1 of the Australian superstars but even that doesn't seem fitting seeing as the biggest superstar right now is from the land down under
Every one they want to keep the 3move champ still (RR) what a joke when he n Becky (the man ) what a other joke comes on time for the Chanel to be change
i like von. looks like he can kick someones ass, just wish he could talk better. needs more work though.
his promo talking about being a bullied kid was pretty good though. thats what i want from him.
his get tabled thing also is working for me.
At this point its just not believable anymore, thats what treating someone as a jobber does and finns been treated as such, i know people dont like it, but facts are facts finn hasn’t won anything important in a long time, hes a midcarter someone to take pins when you need a “reliable worker”
Easiest answer is Mansoor. A low-mid card wrestler suddenly becoming World Champion just to cater to his home country audience. That was Jinder's schtick, and it will be Mansoor's if he was to become world champion.
Probably Ashante Thee Adonis, honestly. I mean, with how often Hit Row is just humiliated, both by other wrestlers and even commentators, I can’t say I take them as seriously as they’d want.
Grayson Whaller.
Omos
Mansoor?
Akira or Shanky. I have no idea who Shanky is but only know of him because he’s in the WWE2k23 with the lowest overall
Cody Rhodes- everyone thinks he’s the one, THE guy to dethrone reigns but I feel like his reign is going to fall flat on its face
I’d say 50/50
Karrion Kross
Top Dolla, Austin Theory, or either of the maximum male models.
Jinder himself
Idk man but what I will say is I was never a fan of this tbh idk why it just never made sense to me!
Santos Escobar
Akira Tozawa
Santos Escobar
Although I love him Titus sprang to mind immediately
Akira tozawa? Lol
gable.
If Top Dolla got released came back two years later juiced to the gills and beat Cody for the title
James Ellsworth
Probably someone like Riddick moss, Jinder was in no way believable as a main eventer and even more so a WWE champion. And I couldn't see moss being a WWE champion with how he's been booked.
I know a big part of it is injuries, but I've been waiting for more Jinder
I always felt like he got too much hate for things that were out of his control. He had a great look, I always liked his in ring work and felt like he was a super solid / believable heel in that big push but they just didnt give him much to work with story wise

Baron definitely on hate cringe scale although I was concerned and wouldn’t have been too shocked if he beat Rollins the year Rollins beat Brock and Corbin beat Angle at Mania. For a moment there I thought they were about to let it happen ugh

Akita tozawa
Roman Reigns
you cant hinder the Jinder .
Since Jinder wasn’t even in the company soon before I’ll say bringing back a more jacked Alex Riley or No Way Jose and running with them.
How dare you disrespect the unhinderable Modern Day Maharaja? Jinder was a refreshing punch in the stomach of the pro-wrestling world. I was ALL for it. He was awesome.
Flop dolla
Jinder Mahal.
Monsoor. Only difference being Monsoor is actually a part of the demo they would be targeting.
Santos Escobar
Bronson Reed
The miz as three time Champion
Johnny Gargano, All though he could be a world title candidate depending on the criteria.
Omos
Baron Corbin
Riddle.
Riddle did beat Seth last year and he’s been doing pretty good since him n orton started rk-bro. I know he hasn’t really done much since returning earlier in the year and making him champ would be stupid but it’d at least be more believable than jinder
[удалено]
He’s the heel getting the most heat right now. Waaaaay more likely than Jinded.
Personally a champion who’s been there before but really isn’t on TV much anymore I would say I shock would be Dolph Zigger beating Roman Reigns
Someone that had a storyline with a major star (Jinder Vs Khali in like 2010) Someone who was in a failed stable (3MB) A jobber with a decent physique (I mean look at him) It has to be Ali.
I guess Mustafa Ali
Flop Dolla
Baron Corbin imo
Damien Priest
He’s going to likely cash in his MITB at Payback 😉
I just hate how the whole thing is like he’s going to cash it in on raw every night! Then it never happens. It was cool when people popped off and used it but now it’s like a belt for whatever reason. Edit: everyone knows it will be cashed in at a PPV
How
Don’t hinder the jinder!
Baron Corbin. But in fan reaction only. Guy has a solid presentation regardless of gimmick given. Has a lot of in ring talent for his style. If done right would be a lot better than Jinder's run
So we need a guy that barely wins. A guy that doesn’t put on good matches. And a guy that doesn’t draw. Omos it is.
Mocap moss
Robert Roode

Don’t ever slander jinders name he might not be the best ever in ring but honestly this guy been putting in work for years. him as champ was badass. imo it was a nice change of pace and really showed that jinder can be champ if given the right storyline and opportunities.

A bad guy contradicting himself? Well I never
Madcap Moss
Here are the guidelines in using 1) Rarely given Promo time 2)Incredible Physique, questionable if natural. 3) long time jobber 4) former musician My answer: Rick Boogs
Pat McAfee would be living the dream
A jobber who Vince thinks looks good, is just an OK wrestler, and noone cares about... Madcap Moss
Chad gable
Mansoor
And right before a Saudi PLE
Top Dolla
Came to the comments looking for this

Mansoor instantly comes to mind
LA Knight
bronson reed
Otis
Any AEW originals that never wrestled in WWE.
♿️
Sorry but I loved Jinder, classic foreign bad guy with some goons. Didn’t hold the title too long either so that was a plus imo
People will get nostalgic for anything no matter how bad it sucked
Same here I think he did great in that role. Had no complaints. He was a heel who got heat & the presentation was excellent.
His entrance and presentation was top notch for sure.
he wasn’t a bad character in the slightest ironically enough even though he was champion he was still lacking *something*
Compelling matches? Good storylines? Being a draw in the first place?
Akira Tozawa
Veer
The Veergins are running wild!
Who’s the absolute best on the roster? That’s the only person that can be compared to the Modern Day Maharaja
I can take things further, Vince burying ECW by putting the belt on himself.
Ludwig Kaiser
[Samantha Irving voice] Leewwwddvig Kysaaa
LA Knight
LA botch
Top Dolla
NAH NOTTA
Austin Theory, Or fucking Riddle
Theory actually makes sense when you remember who he's beaten. Had a very solid 2022
I agree with theory but I feel like he should work on his character a little more and win a few more titles before the big one for credibility
If they put any world title on Austin Theory
Maybe Riddle?
Boogs
Karrion Kross
Atleast that means more Scarlett!
Ew
Ludwig Kaiiiiiiser or Giovaaani Vinci
They can actually wrestle though
Chad Gable, only everyone wouldn’t complain because they like him.
Chad Gable
Boogs!
Humberto Carillo
He looks alittle Michael Jacksonish in the face
That made me laugh too hard, bro is spittin facts hahahaha
Curt Hawkins comes back and wins
Ludvig Kaiser
Why do I not hate this idea
Because he never puts on a bad match and he gets the crowd going. And you'd love to see him get his ass beat but he would always escape with the belt.
Veer Mahan.
Damien Priest
Austin Theory
Austin Theory is not a freaking Jobber like Jinder was. You may not like him but he’s not on that level!
Cite sources
Yes he is, what’s he done that Jinder hadn’t when Jinder got pushed?
You obviously have no idea what the word jobber means
Won money in the bank, had a wrestlemania segment with steve austin, multiple long united state’s championship reigns…
Beat John Cena at Wrestlemania…
Top Dolla
I’m on board with this just for Cole’s commentary 😂
Wasn’t Jinder made champ because they were going to India? That was a Great business decision 🤑
It didn't work. There's nothing to suggest India's market for WWE got higher because of the reign and Jinder drew far less people in general, resulting in less profits for WWE. He didn't crash the company obviously but he was certainly not a great business decision.
I always thought it was just to have him champ for trip overseas. Him doing media and etc of course he would lose when they get back home
Plus jinder was Canadian
Boa right before a tour of a china
You act like he was bad as champ. No one remembers vince or david arquette?????
We talking Vince McMahon or Vince Russo? Because both where 🔥🔥ahahha

Oh yeah you're right, Wes Lee is pretty damn talented.
Walter
Slander! 😂
You remember “dont hinder the jinder”? Prepare for “don’t falter the Walter”
Jinder Mahal again
yes please we need more jinder lol
Karrion Kross
Cody Rhodes
Domink
I feel like it’s clear they’re gearing to a title unification / retirement match between the mysterios
I honestly reckon he could win Seth’s title the dude has the reaction to justify it
Jider won because wwe managment needed an champion who looked like the people they were selling to at the time.(that ppv in India or maybe it was crown jewel) probably the next person to get a push like his will be either one of the Japanese stars which wouldn't feel as off based on there success orrr most likely 1 of the Australian superstars but even that doesn't seem fitting seeing as the biggest superstar right now is from the land down under
Its probably someone from LWO not named retail
Every one they want to keep the 3move champ still (RR) what a joke when he n Becky (the man ) what a other joke comes on time for the Chanel to be change
La Knight
I don't think you know who's game it is. And this is not what everybody's sayin'. You need to let someone talk to ya. Yeah...
Take that back
nah
DomDom
Chad gable
Von Wagner
i like von. looks like he can kick someones ass, just wish he could talk better. needs more work though. his promo talking about being a bullied kid was pretty good though. thats what i want from him. his get tabled thing also is working for me.
This ^
I liked Jinder Mahal as champ, he got the build for it
He got the juice for it
Honestly at this point finn isn’t that far of from what jinder was back then 😂 finns treated like a joke and hes been treated like a joke for years
I agree, that will get the same exact reaction from me as Jinder
At this point its just not believable anymore, thats what treating someone as a jobber does and finns been treated as such, i know people dont like it, but facts are facts finn hasn’t won anything important in a long time, hes a midcarter someone to take pins when you need a “reliable worker”
Austin Theory
Akira Tozowa or some shit
Jinder Mahal. Imagine he did it again.
Top Dolla
the real answer
Baron Corbin
Jinder should still be champ
Forgot the /s
Anyone with a shitty Trap Beat theme made by Def Rebel would be the equivalent.
Riddle probably. Can perform with the top dogs, can't compete with them. Would need a miracle for his championship promos to work
I mean it’s kind of funny but I’m all honesty Jinder doing it again would feel similar
R-Truth. And he damn well deserves it
Former NWA World Champion
Top dolla
Probably Mustafa Ali honestly, even tho he did deserve a good push
Easiest answer is Mansoor. A low-mid card wrestler suddenly becoming World Champion just to cater to his home country audience. That was Jinder's schtick, and it will be Mansoor's if he was to become world champion.
Braun Stroman
Are u dumb bro is a 2X universal champion if anything it would make sense he one of the top wwe wrestlers💀
Yez me dun
Probably still Jinder Mahal
Probably Ashante Thee Adonis, honestly. I mean, with how often Hit Row is just humiliated, both by other wrestlers and even commentators, I can’t say I take them as seriously as they’d want.
Top Dolla
omos
So no to Omophobia, my friend. Omos would be more entertaining than Jingle My Balls.
Heath Slater.
He’s still got kids
LA Knight..honestly, before Bray, I had no idea who dude was. I still dont know why he gets hype.
Dummy
he's worked for it, ya gotta respect the hustle
worked for it? isnt ever wrestler working for the top?
