5 Ways in Which Mahabali Shera can be a bigger star than The Great Khali

Mahabali Shera and Great KhaliWhenever a conversation comes around about professional wrestlers in India, the first name that pokes up is that of The Great Khali. Khali achieved a lot through his career and is currently the only Indian to be crowned World heavyweight champion.His stay with WWE has made him a worldwide superstar and back in India, his popularity is sky-high. Replacing Khali from the throne is clearly not an easy task but TNA superstar Mahabali Shera is well placed to due to the same. He has been making a name for himself in the wrestling scene and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him reach the top at some point. There are a lot of ways in which Shera could achieve big things and here is a look at them.

#5 Take up Independent Bookings in various promotions

Other promotions can give knowledge and reputation

Currently, Shera is pretty much limited to TNA. TNA, from what we know is a great promotion to be if you are a new wrestler.

They don’t have the restriction that WWE have and at the same time provides enough freedom for a wrestler to develop. But limiting his career to TNA is the last thing that Shera should do. Instead, he should go out and take up independent bookings in other companies as well.

There are many options like Ring of Honor, PWG, CZW, and Global Force Wrestling in the United States whereas there are promotions in UK and Japan as well. Travelling and working with such promotions will help Shera learn and also, it will allow him to earn some respect in the business. All the great wrestlers went through this path and it is what he should follow as well.

#4 Be part of any Sports League In India

The sports leagues is currently a great platform

The current trend of sports leagues in India has its fair share of merits and demerits. Making new stars falls under the merit category.

The leagues like Indian Super League and Indian Premier League has a wide reach that crosses all boundaries. Being a part of such leagues will be a great way to skyrocket one’s popularity and it could help Shera. He could be a major star in India through such leagues.

TNA could also come up with another venture like Ring Ka King to propel Shera to the top. This technique, however, will only help to increase the popularity of Shera within India.

#3 Act in a Bollywood/Hollywood Film

Khali appeared in numerous films

Acting in films is another great way of boosting the popularity. Indians love their films and appearing in a Bollywood film could take Shera’s popularity in the nation to the next level.

He has already appeared in the iconic television series CID and it wouldn’t be hard for him to land a film role as well. If Shera gets something in Hollywood, then things will be even better. Khali did few roles in Hollywood films and it kept him afloat in the wrestling business.

If Shera can get into some Hollywood film while working for TNA, then it can benefit both him and the company on different levels.

#2 Win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship

The biggest goal in TNA

The biggest achievement that Shera could achieve during his time in TNA is winning TNA World heavyweight Championship.

Although TNA is not as big as WWE, the Championship has a great history. It was held by names like Kurt Angle, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles and many other decorated names in the business. If Shera gets his hands on the same championship, then he will be a force to reckon with.

A title win will boost his confidence and at the same time, other promotions will see him as main event material. This will benefit him on the longer run and hopefully, the stardom he attains in TNA could pave a path for the ultimate achievement, which is in the next slide.

#1 Get into WWE

Shera should get into WWE at some point

The best way in which Mahabali Shera can surpass The Great Khali is by getting into WWE. WWE is light years more popular when compared to TNA and people who have not heard about Shera till now will definitely run behind him if he makes it to WWE.

WWE is making huge strides in capturing the Indian market through live shows and exclusive broadcasting, but still, they don’t have an Indian in their roster. Khali served the purpose for a long time, but Khali’s shortcomings were folklore in the wrestling community.

Shera is far better in the ring and could be the new face of professional wrestling in India if WWE signs him up. Kurt Angle was the one who scouted Shera for TNA, so he is likely to end up shining in WWE if given the right push.
