So, I hail from India and the last time WWE had put together a live event in my country, Triple H went up against Jinder Mahal in a match where everyone was certain that The Game would put over the younger star. And yet, Triple H was the man who came out victorious in the contest against the Modern Day Maharaja.

The reason that was thrown around is that outside the United States, where the company does not tour nearly as often, WWE legends are revered and respected to a great degree. Had Goldberg won the title in the United States for instance, chances are that there wouldn't be a deafening pop celebrating his win as we heard, but he would be drowned in a sea of jeers following the match.

Like it or not, a lot more people across the world know who Goldberg is than The Fiend, and this is especially true for markets where WWE does not tour nearly as often.
