What the absolute fuck 2017?

Rick Rude was WCW champion, Christian was a two time WWE world champion and a former NWA World Champion. Vader was a multi time WCW, AJPW, and IWGP World Champion, Mr. Perfect was a former AWA World Champion. Not all world title belts belonged to just WWE, and those men aren't any less former world champions just because they didn't win the WWE title.

While the others didn't, so what? Nobody will ever forget who Jake Roberts, Scott Hall, or Ted Dibiase are, and William Regal is probably the single most respected pro wrestler of all time, by fans and wrestlers alike.

Jinder winning the belt is a smart business move because it will draw fans from india and be good for their tv deals there. This is a business, and the decision of who gets the belt is a business decision. Am I happy with how his booking was for the last 7 months? Nah, but oh well. He's had a hot streak lately, he's beaten Orton, Zayn, and Styles, clearly he's not the same jobber he was as early as mania.

I would absolutely buy a Fashion/Roids/Out of Shape Wars themed PPV at this point:
*Turban on a pole Match Jinder Mahal vs Randy Orton, special referee Mohammad Hassan
*Beergut match Kassius Ohno vs Kevin Owens, special ring announcer Sting
*Beauty Shot match Breezango vs Usos
*Why did I go to the Barber match Rusev vs Chris Jericho
*Who wears the Shorts match John Cena vs Brock Lesnar
*Big Show Look a like match Big Show vs. Brown Strowman
*Wellness policy match Roman Reigns vs a returning Jack Swagger!

Who? I was a pretty casual fan around that time, and it was many moons ago, but I don't recall anyone talking about WCW much around that time. From what I've read, that was kind of the problem.

Without guys like Russo I am pretty sure that Vince McMahon would have turned WWE completely into a circus and we would watch garbagemen battle it out with roosters in little more than enlarged bingo halls.

Although I support the reign of Jinder despite it being there for the wrong reasons for non indian fans(cash), the Simpson episode was actually great by itself and in tihs kind it´s perfectly recasted.^^
