HHH defeats Jinder Mahal in "The reason Jinder was champ" India Tour
Then after the match Jinder bowed down to HHH. In a way, you could say making Jinder champ was to make HHH look strong in India.

We spent half a year whining about Jinder not deserving his push.
Now we're going to whine about him losing. Because this is the IWC and we collectively desetve the reputation for being crybaby masturbating virgins that's been assigned to us. |

I could personally give a fuck that Triple H beat Jinder Mahal. That makes sense. But was the whole championship run really to boost ticket sales in India? Also, weren't those struggling? I was being willfully unentertained and they bore only small fruit from it? It's bullshit all around.

"The fact that it happened ultimately just to job him to Triple H in India was also stupid." There's no contradiction between those two thoughts. Doesn't seem that hard to understand. |

Didn't they have to combine the two shows in India into one "super show" because ticket sales were terrible?

So the end game to the months spent on pushing Jinder as WWE champ was both WWE panicking at actually having to do Jinder vs Lesnar and him losing in India to Triple H for no real reason. Jinder bowing to Triple H being the icing on the cake for how badly WWE botched things.

Unconfirmed reports that Triple H also forced Jinder to give him a rimjob in the middle of the ring.

Yes, because the prices were equivalent to what SuperBowl tickets would be in India. I read most cricket matches charge $1 for general admission in India but WWE's house-show was around the $40-$400 range per ticket.

Imean...I'm guessing that losingbthe title and jobbing to HHH wasn't their endgame when they gave him the belt. I imagine plans just changed when the numbers for the india tour came in.

Should be AJ vs Shinsuke for the title, but you're probably right.

All they did was take a few dates free with this tour of the Middle East to fit in a couple of shows in India. Became just a single show because of how poor ticket sales were and maybe them wanting the Smackdown brand more. |

How can HHH get it so right in NXT and so wrong on the main stage? Is it really still Vince's fault?

I wonder what the original endgame was though, out of a morbid curiosity. At some point, all signs were pointing to India. Is this Brock Lesnar's fault?

He jobbed to Roman Reigns in an IC title match. He jobs to the right people at the right times.

Jinder didn't deserve his push. Triple H beating him in India to boost his own ego and pretend to be a star is also stupid. These things can both simultaneously be true.

If India were actually the endgame, you'd think they would have found a guy that can get over in India -- whether or not they are actually Indian -- and give them a babyface push. The WWE announced this Indian tour several months into an ineffective title reign (if Mahal was over with "his people," then they would have turned out...they didn't) for the opposite show than the one he tours with.
If they genuinely thought they were get India with this move, then they are foolish. But I don't really think they did. I think they just wanted to push a jacked dude who wasn't an indy geek for a while. Pander to the boys in the back who like him and dangle a carrot in front of them by showing how randomly a push can come. His ethnicity was secondary. It went off the rails when they worked out they weren't going to be able to do two shows in India, nor could they sell out even one, and that Mahal was a bust as champion. That's when they took the belt off him and there is no way Triple H is going to lose to a dude who was a bust. |
