At some point in their lives, almost all Desi guys went through a wrestling period. We’ve all engaged in wrestling on more than one time, whether it was acting out fights as WWE wrestlers with our relatives or actually fighting criminals.
We must acknowledge that wrestling is a difficult sport now that we are adults. Even when they aren’t actually beating each other to death in a sport that is obviously mostly planned, competitors’ manoeuvres are frequently nothing short of acrobatic miracles.
Such feats demand extraordinary power and agility, which is not something that comes naturally. It results from several years of rigorous physical training and choreography.
It goes without saying that the athleticism of these wrestlers is undeniable, whether or not WWE is real.
However, Indian representation had long been lacking in the WWE universe. There weren’t many wrestlers who resembled them when they were young for children on the Indian subcontinent. As a result, we started using people as our icons, including John Cena, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Randy Orton, and The Undertaker.
Thank goodness The Great Khali entered the WWE realm and changed it.
Gama Singh and Tiger Ali Singh were two additional Indians who had participated in the franchise before Khali, but they were never as well-known. The opportunity for Indian wrestlers and wrestlers of Indian descent to demonstrate the power of the subcontinent to the rest of the globe was therefore first made possible by Khali.
Here are a few wrestlers from India who have demonstrated that they are strong enough to compete in the WWE ring:
1. Gama Singh –
Gardowar Singh Sahota, a.k.a. Gama Singh, was the first Indian to sign with the WWE and was named after the illustrious Indian wrestler. In the 1980s, he participated in the franchise.
2. The Great Khali –
The Great Khali, who was signed in 2016, opened the path for later waves of South Asian wrestlers. His time in the WWE is still remarkable, and his towering frame won him hordes of followers.
3. Jinder Mahal –
Every time he entered the ring, this wrestler from Canada with Indian ancestry meant business. Many of his opponents were terrified by his threatening face.
4. Rinku Singh Rajput –
Rinku Singh Rajput, also known as “Veer,” is a former baseball player who is now a professional wrestler. Many people are terrified by his massive size!
5. The Singh Brothers –
The Singh Brothers, Gurvinder “Gurv” Sihra and Harvinder “Harv” Sihra, are of Canadian descent but of Indian ancestry and were formerly known as the Bollywood Boyz. Their skilled tag team gave the WWE brand an extra edge.
6. Saurav Gurjar –
Saurav Gurjar, a former kickboxing gold medallist, joined the WWE in 2018. Despite coming from a modest background, the professional wrestler gained many Indian admirers during his stint with the WWE.
He was apparently taken back, though, after WWE determined he wasn’t suitable for television.
7. Kavita Devi –
Kavita Devi, a previous gold medalist at the South Asian Games in 2016 and 2018, will go down in history as the first Indian woman wrestler to compete at WrestleMania.
8. Mahabali Shera –
Amanpreet Singh Randhawa, a.k.a. Mahabali Shera, joined WWE in 2018 after participating in TNA India’s Ring Ka King.
9. Tiger Ali Singh –
Even though he was born in Canada, his WWE appearances in the late 1990s made many Indians happy.
10. Kishan Raftar –
Kishan Raftar acquired enough fame after his tenure in the World Kabaddi League to launch a brief but dramatic career in the WWE.
