If they had stop with the cliche same race faction fetish wwe has and stock him out with some great heels. Hell put him with drew and Shamus? New 3mb haha 😂 but seriously. He can still be that heel.

Always Remember: “Don’t Hinder Jinder”. Wishing Jinder Mahal the best and I’m looking forward what he does in the next 3 months
I would unironically love a future where he somehow becomes a world champion again and people will respect him as a such...I'll be honest, I hated his run as WWE Champion. But I really have come to like the guy. Hear me out: Make him a babyface! Not the kind of super hype guy, but more like Sami Zayn where they let him be just himself and make him work real hard (and earnestly) to escape the losing stigma of his weak and cowardly heel booking of the past what like 6-7 years.
And most importantly, Always Remember: Dont' Hinder Jinder!
@@AgeofJPhis style doesn't work for an underdog
@@AgeofJPNo. he works better as a heel.
Just don't have him too many interferences (IE Singh Brothers) and I wouldn't be mad for one more world championship run.
Foreign wrestlers don't work very well as babyfaces. Remember Kozlov and Khali? It sucked.
@@codyman5540 Khali would not have sucked if he was brought into WWE earlier,his condition on his legs had worsened by then
@@studentNEET319 Yes, I know that.
But The Punjabi Playboy was laughably bad for him. Way better off sticking as a monster heel in the roster like he was in his first year and a half in WWE
"Who tf is hook? " - Greatest promo for wrestling on Twitter.
Who TF is hook?
Now we finally got to see Jinder vs Hook 🤣🤣🤣
@@THEONLYGOD788this guy must be a Nimrod period.
@@THEONLYGOD788Tazz's son
Didn't age too good bc now it's "Where tf is Jinder"
Hate it or love it, Jinder Mahal had a good aura as WWE Champion
👏👏
better than cody
💯
@@jeswin8935damn. Give him a chance lol
I'm genuinely shocked they let him go. Jinder is the kinda guy that looks like a credible threat at any given moment if you just give him a few spots to do so. He might not be your next John Cena but he's definitely someone you can use to build your next John Cena. Imagine we got a heated Jinder vs Bron Breakker feud or something - he's the perfect guy to elevate other talent as a natural heel.
Disagree. He's not as snappy in the ring so jinder really hindered himself
@@dominikgose2609he's released so he'll probably experiment with his moveset
He can rebuild himself on TNA. Not everyone can be successful in WWE.
@@dominikgose2609 You don't need to be to make something believable. I'm not saying he should literally come back and try and be AJ Styles. More like he can come back and be a Bobby Lashley in like 5 years from now. I could see it. Maybe not as over but definitely useful enough to sign.
He can come to aew and become champ..it would be fitting🤷🏼🍻
I Met Jindar back in 2015 before he returned to WWE and just as he is now. He is the most humble and nicest guys ever. Wishing him all the best.

The Modern Day Maharaja!
It's Maharaja.
😂 real talk! WWE did this man wrong
Jobber 😂😂
@@rajakghosh6602 I corrected it before anyone commented , autocorrect didn’t work.
Maharrrrrrrrrrraja - Paul Heyman
Go watch that first entrance he had as champion. Dude looked like a million bucks and made you take notice. Theme goes so hard too.
Unbelievably hard. I liked his title reign and his entrance was fucking phenomenal.
Also - Jinder is only 37. This is usually considered an older age but AJ Styles is out here cooking at 46. I'm not saying Jinder is your next AJ Styles but he's a valueable asset who could return 4-5 years from now and still be relevant.
Yeah, I mean, Cody is at his FIRST world title reign at 38. I think WWE waits till someone is now in their mid to late 30’s before giving them a run with the belt nowadays so Jinder definitely can have atleast 10 more years in his career and probably a few title runs!
Ridiculous.
@@Orlando-oc8ee His first WWE Title Reign, he won the NWA heavyweight title at 33, and the ROH World Championship at 32
You are considered a moron!!!… basically when you’re in your 30s you are still young, when you are in your 40s you are middle age at 37 you are in the being of your peak in the wrestling world…. Age is just a number r truth is a prime example dude 52 years old.. 20 people who like your comment has a low IQ.
@@Orlando-oc8ee no, I dont think so. Its because they pushed Reigns for the past decade. And they are the same age. Ideally, mid twenties win it, and rule for 10 years like Roman did, and leave at 40. Perfect. It'll be interesting to see how they use Cody as truly the guy or a paper champion till someone else comes.
DON'T HINDER JINDER
Vince never made Jinder into a babyface despite the Indian demographic in wwe
Word life. This is basic Maharajanomics.
i will miss the jinder & shanky rap they did to make fun of hit row 🥺
Cringe.
@@AlphaGodzilla1 word up to the extreme maximum of the most maximumest of extreming
Jokes aside, I legit feel bad for this dude, seems like a genuinely nice dude and an awesome co worker. Hope he gets to come back someday.
Rolls right off the tongue
Dude has an intimidating look but is actually so chill
Those guys seem to often be that way
The push seemed to come out of nowhere, and the "evil foreigner heel" gimmick was well outdated by 2017... that said, I had ZERO problem with him in the world title picture. He seemed to be a safe worker, could hold his own on the mic, and absolutely had the look of a world champion.
The push came because the WWE was seeing a boom in popularity in India and Jinder just so happened to get ripped and speaks Punjabi and Hindi.
I agree that he's good on the mic but it was a terrible decision considering he had barely any fan interest and Smackdown viewership dropped in response.
@@kriissyy09ifyNone of it happens if he wasn’t prepared. Luckily he had already been training and getting ready for another chance.
Pro wrestling fans in 2024 He is a safe worker, so he is good by me lol
@@kriissyy09ify Did it really?
Man, how can you hate a man like jinder ? Idk why but man he is so kind hearted, really down to earth guy. I hope he finds success in TNA and become big just like drew McIntyre is!
Listen he lived a wwe fan dream
And became champion.
Hes not the greatest but he achived his dream. Good for him
People who are humble instantly gain my respect, Jinder has my respect.
I’ve always liked Jinder. He’s such a genuine human being.
Most awaited Interview CVV, Jinder Mahal the person behind the character is cool.
Well, he's gonna bounce back and I'm pretty sure he's gonna be back in the WWE in a few years if that long. Dude is gonna be a riot on the international circuit.
He said “we had air guitar practice” 😂😂this man was dedicated to doing whatever they threw at him, THE Modern Day Maharaja. Hope he comes back and they put a title on him, seems like a super nice genuine guy
Hearing him talk about all of his goals that he still wants to achieve and his love for the industry is heartbreaking now knowing that he's been released. Wish him the best wherever he goes.
He’s humble, he’s literally acknowledging his character and his presence
The whole modern day Maharaja thing should’ve been a much bigger deal. It was super cool to see him as the champ. It was different and his look was just perfect for it. That music was great too.
His theme and entrance were dope af, definitely agree
Undertaker stole Jinder's spot at WM40. Now it's time for the Rock to make good on his word, use his board influence and let Jinder "finish his story".
They didn't resign him...
Doesn't mean they won't ever resign him. I don't think he burned any bridges.
Bruh sounds like such a nice guy hahah. I love the initiative he took to asking for doing promos at the live events. That shows that he really wanted to grow and get better, I really respect that.
I will always miss "the modern day maharaja". I felt that he deserve more. Wish him well. Hope WWE will find a room to sign him back in the future
Love from india...modern day maharaja🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Chris genuinely liked Jinder to put this interview out now to help him out during his departure or maybe just capitalised on this opportunity but either way, Jinder came out looking like a super friendly guy. He is a good example of Jinder Mahal is a character, the real him is just a guy we'd find at our work, hyped to be there and making sure people liked him. Super nice guy.
JINDER BEST TOP HEEL OF 2017 CHANGE MY MIND
If you actually believe that, no one will be able to. Ignorance is bliss
who tf remembers 2017 wrestling? common bro...
he was such a good heel that people stopped watching 😱
Bold you think anyone cares enough to even attempt to.
Shut up
A sit down like this backed by the wwe machine and this dude would innstantly be a huge baby face. He is personable, likeable, and a good hand in the ring.
21:13 Jinder knows what’s up. Randy 🐍🐐
man after watching this my respect for Jinder as a worker and a person is even higher than before. WWE is seriously gonna regret getting rid of him.
Really bummed for Jinder. Solid dude. Hard worker. Really thought he and Indus Sher could have locked down the RAW mid card heel roles for eons. And even jump into the World Heavyweight or IC title picture when needed. Sad for em. Hope he goes somewhere that he can showcase his talent.
I didn't get the whole jinder mahal thing back in the day...... however.... I went to a smackdown in des moines years ago when jinder was getting the push. 3 Indian guys were behind us, and the reason they were there was because of jinder. They were beyond excited and no doubt a night they would never forget. I understood that night. Mad respect for the jinder after that!
As a Canadian, one of my favorite moments in wrestling was when he showed up as champion in Toronto. Biggest pop I have ever heard, especially from a random smackdown, lol.
He is a proud Indian
Jinder has LOADS of potential, and I hope that he doesn't waste it at petty AEW. Jinder could show up at TNA or in Japan and pose a credible threat. I've been saying for years that he is one of the few heels in the industry who can draw genuine heat, and that is a valuable asset in today's landscape. I wish this man the best and hope to see a return home down the road. Don't hinder Jinder !
Look at the size of his hands. Dude is an absolute unit.
I met Jinder back in 2017. Man he was just awesome. He just lost his title to styles at that time but still he was so cool to talk and he also clicked picture with me . He is very humble guy
Hey Chris, I know you don't know me and I'm somewhat new to the channel. Anyways, I started listening to your videos about 2-3 months ago I believe, and you always talk about gratitude at the end. I started adding that to my daily routine soon as I wake up for work in the evening. I thank God for those 3 things and at times I had a lot more to say, because I had so many more things to be grateful for. You've really helped me out and I hope you see this comment. Thank you 💯
I love that! And welcome to the channel!
@@ChrisVanVliet I love you, my 5'9 Tribal Chief.
Chris is the man 😊
What a super nice guy. Understandable that post release a lot of others are singing his praises. Great interview
Jinder is a real down to earth guy. I had the opportunity to meet him in person.
I was really hoping a new push was coming, don't hinder Jinder✊🏻 I hope he gets what he deserves
Jinder is actually a fantastic heel. I thought his most recent match with Rollins, despite being out of nowhere, was easily one of his best matches. Kinda surprised he got released just based on how much heat that match got and his promo the week prior.
Hope he returns some day, dude seems like a good guy
I hope, sincerely, with all my heart and being, that the industry stops hindering Jinder.
Jinder is that heel that hooks audiences from around the world.
That's only because of WWE being worldwide known. Had he done it in AEW or TNA it wouldn't work.
"Hook"
@@marclyew7086r/whoosh
Thank you for the interview with Jinder. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm one of the few people that didn't hate his World Title run. It did give me a memorable moment of Baron Corbin losing his MITB shot due to John Cena's interfernce which lead to Baron losing his shit and that one fan flipping off John as he looks on smiling. That whole scene to this day still has me laughing. Also I too think his theme music is a banger. I have to control myself not to dance when I hear it on television.
Always been a fan of Jinder because hes from my hometown 🇨🇦
They did jinder dirty…people genuinely wanted to see him beat Seth when they fought and he definitely has an IT factor about him…he could have been bigger
The only problem with Jinder's title run was he didn't have a good baby face to work with. It was like they gave him the title but didn't have much of a plan for it. What good is any heat if you can't use it to generate fire.
AJ was a great opponent for him. they did a classic david vs goliath style match. Drew vs Jinder was completely wasted by WWE and should have been a bigger storyline
@@BabyMaharaja0 Yeah, their program was really short. It'd have been nice to give that more time.
@@BabyMaharaja0 if I remember correctly Jinder actually got injured before they really got going
@@DoctorJango Yeah they didn't get to have a match right?
A
Jinder's Title run wasn't bad, I loved him as Champion!
I was at RAW on 01/15 this year. He had a great match. Always a fan. Very underrated. Hopefully he finds a place that can utilize his talents.
Jinder in my mind is one of the most underrated performers. Solid talker, solid in the ring, solid presence. And I really liked the whole idea of Indus Sher. I thought they had an intimidating presence
Also, Jinder Mahal's theme is low key one of the better entrances in WWE in the past decade
Such a humble guy, man he deserved much more, with this small opportunities he made a big name out of himself, if he would have got more opportunities with better storylines, more title reigns, I’m sure he would have been a megastar, he has the physique, good promo skills, he gives good matches, super athletic, super hard working, man he deserved so more. I wish him good luck and i hope he comes back soon ❤
I want to see him being champion again. Dude is so calm
Hope he is well, that he gets a job quickly and that he keeps his hard work. A lot of respect to You, The Modern Day Maharaja.
WWE is dumb for releasing him
he sorely needed it anyways
and he's definitely gonna build up that babyface comeback soon
I wasn't a fan of Jinder Mahal his whole career till the promo he did this year with the rock it was a very good segment,he really won me over with the trolling and speaking to the crowd fluently in a different language that's literally the best way to win the crowd over and get the exact reaction you were looking to get out of them they sure were boo'in you out the arena it was perfect if i were in your position I definitely would've cracked the biggest smile that wouldve got me to break character. You tend to forget how hard it is to keep your cool especially when you know your killing it out in the ring doing your best work. Also that mainevent match against Seth on RAW it reminded me of the days when the mainevent championship would always be getting defended and putting on paid live event matches good shit Jinder you did win me over this run its a shame it ended shorter I hope WWE does truly see your strengths and rehire you. I want to to see more out of you it's time to stop Hindering the Jinder😂😂😂😂
Dude could've gotten JBL levels of heat if they stuck with him
I loved jinder. He looked the part, no stupid flips, great promo. A true professional
Great interview Chris. Really relaxed vibe, you made Jinder calm, at ease. Felt like two pals hanging out, catching up. Excited to see what the next chapter holds for Jinder.
Rock: “I’ll be seeing a lot more of you now I’m all across the board”.
We wish Jinder the best in all his future endeavours.
Heel Rock at his finest.
Another fantastic interview, love Jinder, he comes across as such a genuinely nice guy. Can't believe he got released, especially after such a hot start to the year. Hope to see him back soon.
He was a great champion! Had the chance to see him as champion in Puerto Rico in 2017
I always enjoyed Jinder run on top. It was refreshing to see a underdog go over and win the title. He's a solid and reliable worker and a incredible heel. I truly believe he had so much more potential.
Awesome that he mentioned not only impacting the Indian, but also the South Asian fans in general cos its absolutely true
Wow I knew Jinder was from Canada but didn't know he wrestled for Stampede for a bit. That is awesome.
This guy is so underrated. He has the look and is agile for a big guy. He does really good promos, too. Some organization will pick him up, then in a year or so, WWE will be calling him back.
I was there at backlash when he won the title it was an amazing experience. And that PPV was fresh off of Wrestlemania 33. Great times!
such a humble person, should have given more chance for him😢
always liked jinder he won me over when he was champ and with his promo most people think his like a prick or something
but dude is humble and kind
and this interview made it more valid how easy going and smiling he was he had a good time at wwe
Very underrated wrestler and champion. I loved him as WWE Champion. Sucks he was just reduced to being a "promotional champ" and not a legitimate contender. Singh Bros were really talented too and elevated him so much. They were earning their spot everytime they went out and didn't hold back and made the talent working with them look really good by putting their bodies on the line. Much respect.
3mb was such an awesome part of my childhood. Always a fan of these 3 guys.
Wanted to see Jinder as WWE Champ longer. I felt like he did a good job and he looked the part.
I was a fan of jinder’s wwe title reign. That’s all I need to say
Man I love this channel thanks for having this amazing experience of 1 on 1 interaction with the super stars
That's a beautiful interview
39:32 HHH this isn't what he meant when he said give him surprise 😢
... literally watched this whole interview-
Jinder is humble and intelligent -
Dude is super humble. Good luck to him in his next move. Looking forward to seeing what he does.
I didn’t watch WWE when Jinder was wrestling. But this interview really makes me like him and root for him. I’d definitely accept a heel run in AEW
This is a great interview ❤
Considering the legends that never won a world championship in WWE, Jinder should be extremely proud of what he achieved.
My guy is genuinely humble. Here's for another comeback 🍻
Keep them coming CVV
Jinder's one reign as WWE champion was longer than all if Edge's reigns combined..
Great interview chris just became a sub love your interviews, and the love u give to wrestlers amazing🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Extremely humble guy, much respect
This was hard to watch knowing he just got released. Wishing you the best Jinder. Thank you CVV for another banger interview. ❤
I know majority of fans didn’t like his WWE Championship run but I loved it from the moment it happen until it ended.
Awareness, humility and well spoken. What a well rounded man. I wish him nothing but the best.
GREAT INTERVIEW
NOTHING BUT LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THE MODERN DAY MAHARAJA FROM PAKISTAN 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
And l’m sure he will do great outside of the WWE
I love how every wrestler wants the IC title it truly means more than what Vince thought
Am I the only one who hated Jinder as champion and now I feel bad about judging his run? I apologize Jinder!
I remember when he was the champ, I was the only one of my friends actually rooting for him and I hated the fact that he lost it so soon
Sucks that he got released! Great guy. Hope he goes to AEW and finds his way back to WWE!
Chris PLEASE this is the second video without timestamps. Please can you add them 🙏 pretty please
Sucks that he got released, but he'll make a ton of money on the indies. He'd be a great heel in TNA too.
I'm a big fan of Jinder Mahal, and really want him to win. Seems like a cool dude, but also a great character. He really brings a different piece to WWE, and to wherever he goes next. I think he is underrated, but deserves the investment just like the rest of his colleagues. Our favorites didn't become our favorites overnight - they were invested in for years before we loved them. Go Jinder!
Another Great Interview Chris💯👍
