No One Follows Jinder
By Scott Keith on 25 October 2017
With WWE's obsession with Twitter and "trending" the last several years, Ive noticed that compared to almost everyone else on the roster, Jinder Mahal has ZERO Twitter followers.
As of this e-mail, he has less than 250,000 followers after five months as WWE Champion. Meanwhile, Curt Hawkins literally hasn't won a match and is around 360K. Tamina Snuka has 450K. Erick Rowan tweets like once a month and has 288K!
Do you think the fact that Jinder doesn't "trend" bothers the powers that be at all? I once heard they'd be happy running Brock vs. Doink as a main event, so I'm not even sure him headlining Survivor Series means Vince & Co. are thrilled with the Maharaja.
I seriously have zero idea what their standards even are anymore. He has terrible matches, arenas are literally half-empty for TV tapings, and people think the WWE title is a joke, but he did have big viewership for that one YouTube video of his title celebration so apparently in Vince's eyes this whole thing is working somehow.
