WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has stated on various occasions how important it is to have a backup plan if you're trying to get into professional wrestling. A select few make it to the top and others end up fading into obscurity, never to be heard of, ever again. There have been countless examples of wrestlers who didn't care to finish their education while in pursuit of a wrestling career and paid the price heavily in the end.
Although Jinder Mahal had his eyes on making it big in the world of pro-wrestling, he made it a point to get a degree and have a backup in case things didn't work out.
Mahal studied at the University of Calgary and bagged a business degree in Communications & Culture. Mahal was still wrestling while he was in school, and went on the road full time after he graduated from university.
