Former WWE Star and pro wrestling legend Road Dogg appeared on the "Wrestling Outlaws" podcast, where he spoke about how Brock Lesnar once said he didn’t want to work with Jinder Mahal.
Road Dogg said:
“Brock said, ‘I’m not working with him.’ Look, he said that about several people, by the way.”
Road Dogg also spoke about how Jinder Mahal’s whole run as WWE Champion was an experiment and he does not think Jinder could have worked well with Brock Lesnar because he doesn't know if Jinder Mahal was on the same level as Brock Lesnar.
Road Dogg said:
“I don’t think so. Brock’s on another level. And so if you get somebody else that’s on, like, I don’t know that he’s on another level in a way where he could carry a Jinder Mahal title match and make it look competitive. I don’t know that he’s on that level. But yeah, I don’t think Jinder could do it. You call it an experiment, Chris. And I honestly think it was a summer experiment. And when Brock came back and said, ‘Okay, what are we going to do?’ We’ll do whatever we want to until Brock comes back, and then we’ll get the title on somebody to work with and we’ll have a main event match.”
Road Dogg also spoke about how they did everything they can to make Mahal look as main-event level as he could be, but there just wasn't any substance.
Road Dogg said:
“Look, I don’t think just like I think the fans kind of viewed it, it wasn’t a great creative decision. I fought it as hard as I could. But that was the decision that was made. He was going to be champion. Now look to Vince’s point, we dressed him up and put those Bollywood Boys with him and we did everything we could do and looked beautiful on television. It didn’t have any substance, you know.”
Road Dogg then spoke about how he thinks Jinder Mahal became the WWE Champion because Vince wanted to build up the biggest market in the world, which is India.
Road Dogg said:
“Look, that’s what I assumed. I know what happens when you assume but that’s what I assumed and I don’t think that’s a bad idea. You know what I mean? What if it took off? What if it did something at the biggest market on the globe? You know what I mean? Like it’s not a bad roll of the dice because ratings were still pretty decent during it all because we did have other great stuff underneath.”
