#1 Not A Crowd Pleaser

It was certainly a unique social experiment to take a life-long WWE jobber and push him so fast to the top of the card. It isn’t like the WWE didn’t give him a proper chance with nearly seven months at the top of the Smackdown card to show his worth. When you are at the top of the card you better do one thing, you better draw the company lots of money. On this most important area, Jinder was a colossal failure.
You need to look no further than those depressing shots of empty seats at Smackdown television shows in recent months. This has occurred only recently during the Jinder Mahal’s long title reign. This trend continued with the television ratings.

Smackdown actually hit record low-numbers in early June. When you throw in the fact that they had to cancel one of the two live shows in India, that doesn’t bode well for Mahal really being a draw for the casual fans in the future. He had his chance to draw and it didn’t work.
