Jeet Rama with Triple H (Wrestling Inc.)
WWE Superstar Jeet Rama is unhappy with the booking’s of WWE
Jeet Rama, who spent most of his time in WWE on 205 Live, is not really impressed with how Indians are presented. Former WWE superstar believes that the pro-wrestling company is biased against Indians and doesn’t portray his countrymen positively.
Satender Dagar, aka Jeet, also expressed that Indian athletes are often projected as heels which causes the crowd to boo them. He recently spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling following his WWE release.
He said that WWE is business at the end of the day and also mentioned that he doesn’t like the idea of Indians presented as a heel more often.
“WWE is a business at the end of the day. I can’t tell them to make business decisions around me,” “They are doing what they think is right from a business perspective. But why is it that you take any Indian WWE wrestler…why are they always made heels? Why are we presented only as villains? Why do they have to behave in such a manner that the audience there insults them and boos them?”
Rama continued in the interview and mentioned that he was not at peace because he was making money by “misrepresenting his country”. He even said that he saw an Indian booing Jinder Mahal in his own country India.
“My soul couldn’t come to peace with the fact that I was making money by misrepresenting my country. When I wrestled at a WWE Live Event a few years ago in Delhi, I saw that the Indian audience was booing Jinder Mahal. Isn’t there something seriously wrong if your home audience isn’t cheering for Jinder Mahal? At some level, we as Indians have to compromise when we go to WWE. This is the weakness I want to eliminate” (h/t Sportskeeda)
Rama was released by the company this year. He made his singles debut for the company at WWE live event in New Delhi on 15 January 2016, defeating Chad Gable.
