He's booked like shit because he's a shit champion and a shit performer in the ring. He's only champ because they thought they could use him being champ as a boost for the Indian market and their expansion, but all indications from Meltzer point to that being a failure.But why keep him as champ in that case?
I don't think he's a **** champion. I think they have booked him like ****. Every PPV title defense (except the last one) ends the same way. I know they can't be giving him many clean wins, but they need to get more creative in his heelish wins.
He's had terrible matches with Nakamura and Styles. That's not passable in the ring. That's being awful.He's passable in the ring, has a great look, and if they gave him more freedom on the mic, people would realize he can cut a promo.
He's stuck with the boring, done-to-death foreigner gimmick because WWE always does that. If you're not white, black, American, or Canadian, almost always your gimmick will be focused on where you're from.
If they want him to draw in India, he should probably lose the turban.
He's a **** champion because he's a **** wrestler. WWE booking is bad for almost everyone so that's a non-factor, but his has been very same-y and that doesn't help him.
From the Daily Update:
Brock Lesnar vs. Jinder Mahal, with neither championship at stake, is right now the planned main event for Survivor Series in Houston on 11/19.

I think he cares if someone can bring a fire out of him. Joe did that. He clearly cared a lot to make Joe look good and sell for him.I don't think Brock cares unless it's Mania.
The older I get the less I care about the in-ring quality. Were the matches with Styles and Nakamura really terrible? Haven't any Mahal-Styles matches but the ones with Nakamura weren't very good, I know that. I wouldn't call them terrible though.
He has a great look. How can anyone deny that? I think we should cool it on the steroid allegations. Don't know why that flies here for Mahal.
And him sounding like he's going to explode is awesome. Reminds me of how guys in the 80s and 90s would cut promos with energy. Problem with Mahal is that all of his promos are the same.
I don't think it's a good idea for him to be cutting promos in Punjabi and wearing a turban if they want him to be this big draw in India.
Brock didn't wrestle Shane because he didn't want to. Brock gets what he wants, and he has zero issues telling them when he doesn't want to do something.
If he doesn't want to sell for Jinder, he won't.
