>In a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez of The Wrestling Observer said that India’s social media influence will help Jinder Mahal stay as WWE champion. Alvarez believes Mahal is going to hold the WWE Championship until WrestleMania 34 and the WWE won’t give up on him despite the non-improving ratings of SmackDown Live.
>The report also added the fact that the Dakota Kai vs. Kavita Devi match at the Mae Young Classic had about 1.4 million views. It was because several Indian news sites helped it get some exposure. That same exposure could help Jinder Mahal stay as WWE Champion with the company recently expanding their operations in India.
The Modern Day MAHARAJA!

Calling bullshit, SDL is the main show once Football season starts and they can't afford to let it slump in ratings.

Good. Go where the growth is. Sports entertainment is dying in America because muh workyshit. Sports entertainment is just starting in India. Let the new era of kayfabe commence.
total hack, literally just spews made up smark ideology bullshit to get WOR buys
hasn't been right about a single thing in years
Alvarez just gives his opinion. He has no sources and is never right. If he wasn't Dave's Jannetty, no one would give a fuck about him.
i am not liking how you people are disrespecting mr mahal and is having many ruppee for wwe

>Needing Alavrez to tell you this
anybody who has been watching for a long period of time could tell you this; he's getting the JBL treatment; push him until fans have no choice but to accept him as top guy. It's not hard to figure this out. He's holding it at least until the Rumble.

I almost hope this is true and DEFINITELY hope it results in laughably low ratings and viewership. Like, the kind of viewership that TNA IMPACT would have beaten on a decent week.

Vince is in for a rude awakening if he actually believes social media activity equates to fuck all. That won't mean shit to USA network when their deal is up for renewal and their ratings are in the even deeper pits.

I can't believe the amount of retards who just believe anything this guy says at his word without even questioning it. Are smarks just inherently gullible and stupid?

I got you family
I want to say bullshit, but given how desperate WWE are to get 'that elusive Indian market' (despite the PPVs airing on free TV a few days after their live showing) and them thinking social media numbers matter, it might not be too far a reach.

>Bryan, have you seen the newest Total Bellas episode?
>No

Youtube pays, at most, $30million to WWE per annum.
That wouldn't even cover their roster expenses.
>>3119265
>Giving up TV ratings for Youtube ratings and Tweets
Vince literally doesn't know how social media works. He's going to use this shit as a bargaining chip for the TV deal.

>>3119271
Social media growth is worthless until they find a way to monetise it in a big way.
Having Big Show tweet out your new game to his followers on Twitter isn't as alluring as the Dubya thinks it is.

Youtube videos payout around two thousand dollars per million views. There are fatter fish to be chasing than pajeets with no disposable income watching free shit on their second hand phones
