Mahal has the calibre to change the game

A very vocal segment of the wrestling fanbase has referred to Jinder Mahal's ring skills as 'basic,' and that's one of the nicer terms. However, these 'smart' fans--most of whom have never been inside a wrestling ring--don't truly understand the many aspects of what makes wrestling not only compelling entertainment but as safe as possible for all parties involved.

Jinder does not have the move set of Kallisto, but there's no reason why he should perform in the same way as a man literally half his size does. Jinder has a wrestling style described as "US standard worker," meaning he utilizes moves designed for big men.

"the Modern-day Maharaja" has managed to avoid major injuries for most of his career, and--unlike Seth Rollins, who is often praised by the same groups who judge Mahal--hasn't put other athletes on the disabled list, or out and out ended their career. Being overly 'stiff' in the ring has ended the WWE career of many athletes, most notably Ken Kennedy.

By utilizing a ground-based style in the ring, Jinder can assure his own longevity in the business, and protect his opponents from serious injury.
