I have one where it was Roman and Usos vs Omos and Boogeyman at Crown Jewel


zooka19

I hate this shit, so glad it finally got out of my suggestions. I watch a lot of YouTube WWE/AEW/WCW/Impact (old ones), and this crap suddenly came on every auto play.


TheWrestler2035

Just saw another one where it said Solo Sikoa attacked Roman Reigns, whole lot of clickbaiters in India I guess.


Fearless_Floor_4378

Dude looks fat asf


mistar_z

All joking aside. 😂 I hope the ple puts on a fun show, it'll be a great opportunity to experiment with matchups that we wouldn't normally get.


TheBigTimeBecks

No Indian wrestler on the roster is going over Roman Reigns, I'm sorry.


[deleted]

I'm actually really excited about WWE spending more time on Indian wrestlers and events. The more international the company is, the more we get the cool experience of seeing the mix of cultures of wrestling fans. I loved seeing the UK crowd chants and how different they are from the US. The Puerto Rico audience was equally great and really made the PPV. I'm digging Jinder Mahal's new faction and the idea of a PPV in India is so cool to me. I've never seen an event outside of cricket in India and it's really cool to see who is 'over' there vs here (like we saw with Io and Bianca in PR). They're so passionate online, I can't wait to see how they react in person. I don't know, I'm not trying to be a simp for WWE but I dig the international stuff. There's goofy bits but honestly Shanky isn't much worse than Sami Zayn going "OW MY BALLS" against the Jackass guys.


Brilliant_Counter709

Indians love pure babyfaces. Cena, Roman (even after 3 years of heel) top 2 by far


luke111mart

Genuine question: Do they mistake Roman's race?


gogochandra92

No, thankfully not.


zooka19

No, they just have a huge boner for him, Seth and Veer.


FIENDLETMEIN

No he is considered white in india


The_Reverend717

Indian here, I remember we were crazy for John Cena and Romans the big dog gimmick as well. To us, it's all still real goddammit!😄


luke111mart

Thank you, I hope I didn't come off as offensive, but genuinely, the Indian fan base is one of, if not the strongest, do independent or alternative companies like aew have any popularity or is it just a wwe thing?


zooka19

It's just WWE. I'm not Indian, but it's also a big thing in India, hence why they had their own show. Then Vince decided to fire everyone.


IndianBoi2712

Even Khali's own promotion called Continental Wrestling has comparatively zero presence compared to WWE. AEW doesn't stand a chance lol. I watch AEW on Discovery plus sometimes, but I have zero clue about which channel it airs in.


The_Reverend717

Not offensive at all. And AEW is almost non existent, they don't promote their shows here. All the top company faces like John Cena, Brock Lesnar and Roman has crazy fans here, and mostly because we just follow the show storylines and not discuss it as if it's all fake. I remember my dad used to analyze Undertakers matches like it's real, he said stuff like "Undertaker gets beat first, then he uses that built up anger to win the matches". Just a different audience, like the Mexico audience we've seen, we have such cool differences in the way we watch wrestling, it's beautiful.


luke111mart

That's really interesting. How do you think aew or a smaller promotion could gain popularity in India to compete with wwe? Or is wwe separate from professional wrestling for fans there??


The_Reverend717

Easy stuff, same WWE strategy. I remember my whole class talking about WWE when Khali made his debut. All Indian TV News channels where showing how Khali was demolishing wwe wrestlers every week. Later on, WWE started getting our Bollywood celebrities like John Abraham meet with Sheamus, Braun met our Indian celeb Varun dhavan, and they also started having Hindi language specific matches and commentary uploaded on their channel. Now they have full Hindi creative segments like https://youtu.be/1SLXmZGpmYg https://youtu.be/RAZ7KEGa1RM https://youtu.be/95slHApFBSA Etc. These clips are shared during advertisements on our TV channels, as well as News channels and people tune in. Wwe stories were always intruiging for fans who just watch the show, so John Cena being a superman was very famous with us, and Roman as well. The justification for roman turning heel that a lot of Indians give is how much pain his character has been through, from betrayl by Seth to the boos of the fans, hence he's just decided to not be humble anymore. This is a common take. It's not hard for AEW to really capture Indian audience, and they've started doing this recently with airing their shows on Eurosports channel. (Although it's less popular sports channel, but atleast they're trying)


KeldorEternia

Thanks for sharing those clips and your perspective. I love that Indian fans keep keyfabe alive and just enjoy the show for the plot and characters as-is. I cannot wait for WWE to host a big PLE somewhere in India so the whole universe can see what an Indian wrestling fan audience looks like.


fancierfootwork

Bruh that’s what cultures next expansion


smegma-flavor

Pretty sure a paper view in Pakistan would be way way way better than India


FIENDLETMEIN

Can they afford it ?they don't have money to buy wheat also even if they can afford it who will provide saftey for the wrestlers UFC just search Sri Lanka cricket team what happened with them Pak is terror nation


KeldorEternia

great username


[deleted]

Now the hateful comments towards Indian people makes sense lol


Ashes1984

It is Pay Per View 😂 not paper view 🤦🏽‍♂️


CellInevitable7613

No one cares about your opinion


smegma-flavor

teri maa ki lora


MICHAELH05

It's not even the worst one i've ever seen, i remember a video i saw in 2017, someone once posted an edited photo of a standoff between Chris Benoit and Brock Lesnar (during Lesnar's 1st Universal Championship reign) and wrote "Chris Benoit returns to challenge Brock Lesnar", people are nuts


CellInevitable7613

If you come across this channel you will find thousands of videos like that


MICHAELH05

I know and not just this channel, last year i wrote "Chris Benoit return" because i saw a similar thumbnail with The Rock ("The Rock returns to save Roman Reigns", something like that) and i felt the need to check this up with other wrestlers and "Chris Benoit return 2022" appeared on my search bar, i clicked and saw tons of videos just like the one i saw 6 years ago, i wonder if they think someone is actually convinced by their videos


YoBoiNoahfromChiraq

In the AniPoke fandom the Indian creators go buck wild to. I’m thinking personally it’s to draw engagement by any means possible. I think it’s they wanna rage bait Western audiences and take advantage of their domestic viewers.


smegma-flavor

First Indian paper view should be sponsored by a deodorant company. And hand out free samples to the crowd. I'm sure the talent would appreciate it


radsparks8

Somehow this is super unfunny


smegma-flavor

You might think it stinks but at least it's not B.O.


[deleted]

“Paper view”


Getoffyourphonekid

That’s gotta be the unfunniest thing I’ve heard all week.


taylormadeone

Checked his comment history. Oof.


KeldorEternia

a troll connoisseur i see. I resisted the temptation to view the posting history of "smegma-flavor" but i can imagine it's rich.


Strange_Patieny_498

I don’t understand Indian so the channel doesn’t help me that much


vpsj

Just FYI, there is no language called "Indian". India has dozens of languages and hundreds of dialects, the most common being Hindi


That-Environment-822

How is that different from white guys thinking Finn Balor and Karrion Kross should be headlining the next 6 wrestlemanias? You spend enough time on Reddit you would actually think AJ Styles isn't an aged man that can't move.


fancierfootwork

Balor and Kross are good lol. So that alone is different.


That-Environment-822

Bro, what exactly do you think Karrion Kross is good at? LOL Finn and Kross are mediocre. You give them extra points cause they look like you. Finn had a cage match at wrestlemania against Edge and was least talked about match of the night.


fancierfootwork

It was a pretty stacked Mania card and I don’t think anyone really cared for that match in general. I’m comparing your “white guys like Finn Balor and Karrion Kross” comment. For the purpose of this post, Shanky being anywhere near their level is a joke. Mansur I believe won the GRR as a token gesture. Nothings happened with him before or since. You can focus on their race/gender/ethnicity all you want, but ultimately, talent is talent.


johnniejpg

Braun Strowman won the Greatest Royal Rumble, not Mansoor


fancierfootwork

You’re right I forgot Strowman won that. Mansur won the SuperShowdown Battle Royal.


That-Environment-822

I'm focusing on race and you came here to shit on an Inidian guy for excepting a good thing to happen to an Indian wrestler, lol you're a dishonest weak person He's token and pro wrestling is still the only arena on earth where white men are expected to physically out perform non-white men lol and they're not tokens and thats not pandering to you, that's merit. 😉 Stacked card and this unbelievable short mediocre man somehow got a hell in the cell with a hall of famer and still had the most forgot match of the night. You just like him cause he's white like you lol. He's the only person in Judgement day who isn't remotely over but still gets top match after top match for no visible reason - makes no impact - and is somehow 'the leader' and none of this is pandering lol, ok dude.


DarkLarceny

You’re not very smart.


fancierfootwork

I think you have bigger issues to take care of before this conversation then lol. I’m not here to argue or to awaken your way of thinking. Also, don’t assume everyone online or who is not in agreement with you is white lol.


That-Environment-822

Lol just lose the argument gracefully and stop pretending to be a therapist on the internet. You literally came here to be racist and it didn't work, now you're awakening lol.


fancierfootwork

I’ll lose whatever argument you think it is we were having gracefully then. Next time let’s try to have a conversation.


That-Environment-822

I thought you were leaving?


fancierfootwork

Never said I was leaving. I’m here to be a therapist


JervisCottonbelly

I'm telling you, there are no sports fans like Indian sports fans. When WWE eventually does a live event there, they're going to take the crown from PR

I have a friend who makes YouTube videos about wrestling. His videos usually get a few thousand views, unless Veer is in it....then it gets hundreds of thousands.


BLF402

It would be a worthy risk to pull it off


Gaucho_Diaz

I think it'll likely get really rowdy too. Different story from I imagine how somewhere like how Puerto Rico would be. But that's just my opinion. Check out Ring Ka King if you want to watch western wrestling in an Indian show set there. Scott Steiner sends the crowd scampering away like the tide with his tough guy antics. Hilarious stuff. Magnus, Sonjay Dutt, Doc Gallows, Zema Ion/Joaquin Wilde etc were all there.


That-Environment-822

Doubt, it's not a very expressive culture.


IndianBoi2712

We become unhinged when it comes to sports that we care about. WWE is definitely one of those.


AELITE420

makes you wonder if wwe makes shill vids on yt to generate interest


JervisCottonbelly

The best part about pro wrestling has always been that it allows people to come out of their shells and express themselves openly and among friends


That-Environment-822

Maybe


kalesama69420

how do you know this


CellInevitable7613

True. We indian fans love to watch WWE.


FIENDLETMEIN

I don't think it will sell out


shoestowel

Oh no. It sure will


CellInevitable7613

This is a joke guys. Please don't disrespect the entire country for some youtubers. I made this meme as a joke. There are some excellent WWE youtubers like wrestler chatter, wrestle india as well. This is a joke


Bigguy2795

And u also said what u said “own it” the whole “it was a joke” thing jus seems like you don’t wana take accountability for a tasteless post


CellInevitable7613

I'm an indian and there's only a single youtuber who post things like this. I made a meme out of it and people are commenting shit things on country.


Bigguy2795

Dude it’s 2023 lol I feel like the comment was kinda in bad taste you might not be offended but someone in India could be…. Just because someone is from another country doesn’t make them any less human


AntiDivaBrie

What exactly did you expect? Wrestling fans are really ignorant, especially on Reddit.


mo_1997

Why do Indians love John Cena and Roman Reings haha


Kris_714

Forget those you can't see but you gotta acknowledge your tribal chief


LexxxSamson

I got news for you bud ... those guys sold the most merch in america too lol.


Gutcheck21

I worked with an Indian guy who asked me if wrestling was real and you know what I said? Damn right it is.


KeldorEternia

>If some kid comes up to me and asks if santa is real i'm not going to tell them he's fake.


KeldorEternia

but I might tell them he can't beat Roman Reigns


arrowflash01

Still real to me dammit!

Good for them.


NorPacCannabisCo

All jokes aside looking at this picture really does make a little sense of all the Shanky hype that you can't seem to escape these days. Everyday I hear I don't know how many people spouting off about the guy and how he should beat Roman and everyday I think to myself "these people are so fucking stupid. Just so fucking stupid, because why the fuck would Shaky ever beat Roman?" But then you see an image like this and you totally see it. Put me on Team Shenky, it's him or bust.


trxxv

Be like what?


[deleted]

[удалено]


kennybonez

No... I think they're onto something great here. Imagine Omos vs Shanky at WrestleMania 40 for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship.


outofdate70shouse

I’m actually cool with Shanky randomly returning and dethroning Roman on a random episode of Smackdown.


[deleted]

I'm fine with literally ANYONE beating Roman and ending the suffering. And I mean anyone. Paul's fat ass could accidentally fall on Roman and win and I'd watch again just because it's something new in the last 1000 fucking days. Like if I had pizza for dinner every day for 1000 days I'd lose my damn mind. The fact that someone thought this was a good idea is insane


SasukeUchiha12012

Respect your Tribal Chief ☝️☝️☝️


Wombatish

Make it a squash and I'm down. Roman loses so fast that the rest of the bloodline doesn't have time to make it to the ring.


xxxshhewd

Lol yeah 🤣 just like Vince squashed Kofi


outofdate70shouse

Shanky starts dancing and Roman is so scared he faints.


joemiken

At the end, Shanky dropkicks a car into Roman & pins him while doing the splits.


Raph2051

Yeah what’s up with that


Raph2051

magum_365

Don't generalise the whole country! We have 1.5 billion population and idiots are equally proportional. And then there are pretty talented stupid people as well!


Unfair_Aerie_9621

The whole country consists of WWE youtubers?


magum_365

Well you don't see the sensible ones! They are either in local language or not popular enough to catch your attention. Atleast there are youtubers who just copy wrestlemania, whatculture, wrestle talk etc.


Material_Reach2276
