      India might be a potential huge market for foreign companies but Indians don't seem to be interested in wrestling.
      not even football (soccer) became popular for Indians. and India was a British colony for 200+ years.

      @@LevisH21You actually got it wrong. Indians do love wrestling, can't say the same about football (Soccer). The only issue with WWE is that they cannot sell their franchise at normal prices here. They need to provide discounts. But considering the customer base here (1.4 billion), even if they sell 1 T-shit for $10 and assuming they sell it to 1% of the indian population which is around 14 million, they make huge money. During the Attitude era, almost every school student here had a debate on who was better "The Rock vs. Stone Cold". Things went bad for WWE since the Cena era. Even though kids today love wresiling, the fanbase for WWE has dwindled as they stopped putting out good content.

Even Mid-carders got solid promo segments and TV time and most of the time, they entertained as he'll. But today, we'd be lucky to see 2 midcarders cut great promos or put on good shows. Script writers writing for wrestlers has killed their creativity. Heck, people thought Cena is a great promo worker, I was like - Dude cuts great promos, but compared to the wrestlers during 1998-2002, Cena's promos were average at best. That's how low the bar is.

    The WWE restaurant club thing would be a good idea if they opened them outside of the US. Not everyone wants to sign up to the network and it would become more of a social thing, like going to watch the football game at the bar with friends, you could take your friends to watch Wrestlemania in a social setting without needing to fly to the US and see it in person. Have them show old shows and maybe backstage content 24/7 and serve WWE food and drinks. I'm sure someone with a modicum knowledge of marketing and business can turn a profit from that. Maybe do a deal with a brewery, they fund the bars and you sell their beer exclusively and market it for them on the shows.
    It wouldn't be that hard to do, surely.

    I honestly think the Jinder Mahal experiment could have possibly worked had they pushed him as a babyface. When he's just being himself, he's a very likable person.

    The Jinder Mahal experiment wasn't the first time WWE tried to break into the wrestling market in India.

By the time Khali got to WWE, his knees had given out due to his size, and he could barely move around in the ring.

    I was fine with Mahal as champion. He had a great look, was decent on the mic, and was also alright in the ring. IMO (and I know opinions are like buttholes), he was the victim of some bad booking. Once he became champion, he was still treated like a joke. As soon as he won the title, they should have had him drop the Singh Brothers (violently), and they should have allowed him to destroy a couple of credible mid-card guys. They could (and should) have played him off as a more serious heel. They could have done much more to distance him from his 3MB character, and to make him believable, but they didn't.

      It's funny that the Brawl for All actually had the side effect of getting Bat Gunn and Steve Williams over in Japan where they went after. Since Japan's connection between legit MMA and pro wrestling is much tighter they love their shoot fighters and mega tough guys over there so they saw the brawl for All and went "we gotta get ourselves some of them" Dan Severn also went back to Japan too after.
      the Brawl for All was just a concept for the wrong pro wrestling culture. in Japan it'd have absolutely worked.
