7 things we learned from Jinder Mahal’s recent interview on Lilian Garcia’s podcast

#3 He has always been a big WWE fan

Growing up in Calgary, just like any other young Canadian wrestling fan, Jinder grew up idolizing Bret Hart. His parents were always busy working and he was raised by his grandparents.

He remembers coming home from school and watching wrestling on television every week. He even grew sideburns to look like The Rock. When he signed on for wrestling school, he wore a Rock shirt on his first day of training.

The Rock recently had a funny interaction with Jinder’s lackeys, the Singh Brothers, on Twitter, and he did give the three of them a whole lot of praise. That would’ve certainly been a big boost to Jinder’s confidence!
