Guest Fight Me. Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Quote Last week brought news of WWE's next big international expansion, with POST Wrestling's John Pollock and Wrestlenomics' Brandon Thurston reporting the launch of NXT India sometime in January 2021. Sportskeeda's Riju Dasgupta has since come through with new details on the project. Per the writeup, NXT India will officially launch on Republic Day in India, 26 January, with early tapings going down at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida as a result of travel restrictions brought on by the ongoing global health crisis. WWE hopes that it will be able to open an Indian PC at some point in 2022, presumably shooting shows there once the pandemic has eased. As far as the initial roster goes, it is reported that former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal is expected to be the biggest name amongst the first group of wrestlers. The Singh Brothers, Indus Sher, and Jeet Rama may also be involved, along with recent acquisitions Gurvinder Singh, Sukhwinder Grewal, and Laxmi Kant Rajoot, all of whom were brought in after tryouts in Mumbai. An eight-person tournament to crown the first NXT India Champion is expected to take place. WWE is yet to formally announce NXT India, though this should be imminent. https://whatculture.com/amp/wwe/wwe-nxt-india-first-roster-members-start-date-announced?__twitter_impression=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunchbox Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Its a massive untapped market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mani-Man Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Its a interesting idea and a huge market. I dont know why but i always wanted more wrestlers from India...i have no clue as to why. Its why i have a soft spot for Jinder Mahal too, despite knowing about his shortcomings in the ring. So im all for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counting Lights Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 General Manager Great Khali. Make it happen. I won't be watching except for the occasional match that gets hype. I don't even watch NXT UK, and I actually know some of those peeps. Wish em well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Wonder how long all of this has been in the works? Cause I always thought Mahabali Shera's release was a bit shocking when he showed back up in Impact 2 years ago. He wasn't great, but he had some TV experience there and I mean he can't be greener than some of these guys. Also, this is tomorrow and not a peep of it was mentioned on TV once. Not even a quick commercial on NXT lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oresama Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 The card: https://www.wwe.com/shows/superstar-spectacle/superstar-spectacle-2021#full-detail-40085073 And is Kavita Devi injured? I was expecting her to be a part of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting her to be a part of this. Yeah, weird considering that she has some track record they could have used. The card is fine, i mean for the fact that they dont have too many talents from India to fill. Jeet Rama is 40 and since 2015 in the wwe...but i never heard of him. But with styles, he should be able to pull a good match. And i wonder if putting Jinder and Mcintyre in a match is there for the purpose of building up a future singles match. We will see how this goes and what comes next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 LET'S GO. Finn in the Thunderdome. Awesome. First time Finn has busted out the 1916 outside of NXT. Nice. They got Ric Flair out here too. Oh shit, Great Khali's students. They just pumping out giants over there. Wtf Ziggler is definitely in John Morrison's jacket lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 #protected Weird, Ricochet still presented as a star like if he's fresh off his US title run lol Big E back in New Day lol New Day & Street Profits team up. They should've saved these dancers for Jinder Mahal's entrance lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Overall, I thought it was a decent show. Sure they are a bit green, but it’s hard to fail when you're in there with guys like AJ, Drew and Finn. No shenanigans, just wrestling. So I must say I enjoyed myself more than watching Raw, WWE still knows how to put on a show when they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mani-Man Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Yup, it was not a "spectacle" but a decent show. The matches were fine and had good star power. Nothing more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mani-Man Posted February 5, 2021 Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 20 million...jesus. Why dont they attack the market in india more aggressive? I assume indian talent would be more effective for that, and the wwe lacks on that front a bit. I like mahal, but i dont see him being the leader of such a movement.
