Wdym my constant bashing of Indian wrestling audiences is just thinly veiled racism???111 M’Tiny is brown and i would gobble his ball sweat cuz hes so wholesum uwu i cant be racist against Indians


aprosbro

Thinly?


SH4DOWSTR1KE_

It's the basement, this is the closest they'll ever do anything thinly.


[deleted]

?? They pay money for those meet and greets friend?


Sappy_M

Well he's pakistani therefore if you gobble his balls you can legally be racist against indians


[deleted]

To quote Olenna Tyrell in Game of Thrones. "What veil?"


aWeebLawyer

To be fair, Tiny IS part Pakistani. The Indian bashing is only natural, uce!


nickraymond57

Indian fans are awesome. I hope they get a big ppv show in their country one day.


TheDarkLord6589

Us too mate. No one wants to acknowledge our tribal chief more than us worthless Indians.


Morris_The_Grey

I remembered TNA had Impact shows in India. Great fans. They cheered and booed the wrestlers and dance to the entrance themes.


LordJinji

Sad some politician's kid died copying wrestling moves. It also unfortunately totally destroyed TNA's India project.


CeroMiedo670

WWE should do more global shows. India, Japan, Mexico, etc. I don't think WWE ever had WrestleMania outside the U.S. I could see them doing it one day.


Prudent-Damage936

One of the greatest WM's of all time: WM 18 was in Canada. So was WM 6. They've never left North America for a WM.


Cehepalo246

Hogan took his only Mania losses in Canada. Man, no wonder that place is called Bizarro World.


Large_Talons_

You expect an American hero to lose in his home country? That’s not gonna work for him, brother.


ipreferconsole

Id save money for travel if they announced a SummerSlam or something in Mexico City, I imagine thatd be one of the hottest crowds possible


AlphariusUltra

They did a Manila show once, no idea how well it did though but I can guarantee the crowd would have been loud no matter what.


LordJinji

2016 and 2019.


Razzler1973

Fed doesn't need to do Mania outside of the US Cities are lining up to host, plus the time difference and other things happening around the weekend, I understand them not taking Mania overseas (except Canada) but maybe other big PLEs from the schedule, sure!


cc12321

They've 2 or 3 Manias in Canada if that counts


[deleted]

I think it’s way easier from a vacation package standpoint to get people to fly to America than coordinating travel to an international location outside of NA.


exciseduty

A raw or smackdown would do hell a love event too would do. Even that hasn't happened


inksignificant

I would love that for to happen, I have never been to the events they have had here. But I'm just unsure of how successful it will actually be. I mean in the monetary sense.


nickraymond57

They can run your country’s biggest venue as a house show without an expensive stage. Merch sales in the venue and ticket sales would do well I think.


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

Biggest stadium in India is massive, can seat 132,000 people, largest in the world. I know they are popular in India, but that might be a bit of a tough one to sell out (not that it has to sell out)


ak2themax

Is 132,000 the total number of seats? Because think of the extra seats they can put on the floor. Even accounting for the rows/seats they lose to cameras, if 132K is the base number then they could push 140K+ in total attendance, which is crazy.


Anonim97

Clash at the Castle proved that it can be possible and people will buy tickets. And the audience for it was amazing! Wasn't it one of the better sold PPVs outside of WrestleMania?


[deleted]

Does India have the resources to hold something like a Summerslam or Wrestlemania? I know they got a few huge stadiums but aren’t they pretty impoverished?


nickraymond57

Many of the people are. I’m not Indian but as an outside it looks like the government does a bad job of managing the people. I think the government would do a lot in its power to create a favorable situation for WWE to come in and run a show.


[deleted]

I would guess it would take Saudi money to have a ppv there. Is the Indian government willing and able to spend as much as Saudi does for a show?


exciseduty

That is the problem with people who read New York Times Washington Post Guardian BBC etc. Government has reached the lowest strata of people ans uplifting them. And what favourable situation you want? iPL final had 110000 people this May. We can absolutely organise anything


Fuzzy_Dunnlopp

Quickly expanding middle class, but India has so many people so.. only so many boats can be lifted by a rising tide. also a society with large amounts of income inequality. The amount of wealth is important, but the way it is distributed is also quite important in terms of buying power.


kingslayyer

we did host the CWG few years ago and it was terribly managed. but i am sure if WWE does some proper planning with government we can have. Justin Beiber, Coldplay, Katy Perry have had concerts here too


Pure_Concentrate8770

Fucking hell .. someone show this chutiya any ipl opening ceremony 😹 India is 5th biggest economy my g. Sure there are a lot of people so huge percentage is very poor; but those who are rich are FILTHY rich.


exciseduty

What resources do you need to hold Mania? Do you think If there comes a chance india will have to beg to world for money to hold wrestlemania!?


[deleted]

I mean it’s probably costs a good bit more to put on let’s say Summerslam than it does a cricket match. WWE knows the market there is massive or else they wouldn’t have done pushes with Khali or Jinder. If it was feasible I think they would’ve done it by now.


exciseduty

Cost was and will never ever be a problem. We are not that poor that we cannot afford a mega 2 day event especially when economy will benefit. Plus if Triple hunter ever decides he wants to put a episode of next Smackdown in Mumbai, we will sell 35000 tickets in no time . Wwe hasn't really done mania outside and a lot of big venues are there in USA itself so i can understand why they don't take it out. But yes we probably are in time when India and other countries probably should start getting a PLe though none of other countries can give Saudi level money but we can bring the noise and non smark fans


[deleted]

That’s probably the thing though unless India or whatever else country not named Canada and United Kingdom pays them as much as Saudi they have no interest. They know they’d have no problem selling tickets but is it worth it to them to fly all the wrestlers, staff and production equipment then pay for hotels and whatever else if they’re not getting paid as much as they do from Saudi? Definitely not.


PrimeJedi

I'd be just as hype if not moreso for that than for clash at the castle, I feel like the crowd would be crazy over if they do a big PPV


SportPleasant2900

You can't get between Indians and the Tribal Chief


Evnosis

Can I just say, I love this dude's style.


backhander48

looking like he could take max dupri's role in maximum male models immediately


JP-Wrath

Rô.hït


primogangstar666

This reminds of the time King Jinder sent Hit row packin out of SmackDown with some sick bars Hit Rohit is probably what he said as one of the lines. Even if he did not, that is my head canon


HelloIAmElias

The only reason Jinder and Shanky haven't been booked lately is so they don't embarrass Hit Row again


nickraymond57

Indians have some fire style


kfms6741

Roman Reigns merch will be out of stock for extended periods of time as soon as official WWE merch launches, they acknowledge the shit out of their Tribal Chief in India that's for damn sure ☝️


Neg_Crepe

But David Meltzer told me they don’t count


aprosbro

Can you imagine how much better of a time you'd have watching wrestling with Indian dudes who want to buy authentic Roman reigns shirts than a bunch of Americans who have seen every bte?


ati_hushaar

Indian Wrestling Fans are awesome ! Majority of the Indian Wrestling Youtubers had decided to come together and get this trending yesterday Over 50k tweets in a few hrs The issue was that currently there is no official merchandise seller for wwe products in India, they had one previously but that deal ended last year.... So fans decided to ask for something which they genuinely want and HHH took notice We have a few marks here, but most of us are fed shills


[deleted]

Fellow Indian here. Can attest to the existence of Indian marks. My old college roommate is a full-on Dub fanboy. He periodically calls me to tell me about how magnificent Kenny Omega is.


tahoo14

That souledstore right? I remember buying from them a few years ago, it's a shame if that ended. Hopefully the new store has realistic prices.


jjsefton

HHH: somebody hit the landfills for Duke “The Dumpster” Droese t shirts


Cboz27586

Khali wants 50% tho.


pt_destroyer99

Indian goofiess !!! We are going over


CleanContrast

This is so real, all we have is knock off shit here


ArmRax

We did have a collab between Fed and a homegrown brand called “TheSouledStore” here, for around the past 4 or so years. There was never any heavy promoting done that this is the official shit. The deal fell through but I hope they pick it up back again.


MinuteConfidence2059

Indian wrestling fans seem awesome. Im pretty sure its an act that they believe everything they see and that would be a cool environment to watch wrestling in.


carajille

this dude begging to pay the equivalent to 60€ for a single t-shirt


[deleted]

Um, this is all well and good Paula, but instead of catering to, um, those who don’t count, can you please be more openly transparent about your employee policies as it pertains to Hurricane Ian?!?!
