10 reasons Jinder Mahal is exactly what the WWE needs

#3 The Singh Brothers and their contribution

The Singh Brothers

A good wrestling stable isn't just about throwing athletes together and making them wear the same shirt. It's a balancing act where, ideally, the wrestler higher on the card will give a little 'rub' to those lower than himself, without damaging his own marketability.

The former Bollywood Boyz--a mildly racist gimmick--have traded up for new personas under the leadership of Jinder Mahal. With one fell stroke, they were able to shed their reputation as a comedy act, and are now taken seriously as both competitors and henchmen.

Sunil and Samir are the perfect stooges for evil mastermind Mahal. They are smaller than him, increasing his physical presence when they appear together. Also, their in-ring style is faster and more acrobatic, lending variety to their stable. Most importantly, they can 'take the hit' for Jinder and lose to future/past opponents of his. This allows Jinder's opponent to build momentum for their match without hurting Jinder's credibility.

While some might criticize the WWE for again putting together an ethnic-based stable, there's no question that the union of Jinder and the Singhs has been a benefit to all involved.
