Sonjay Dutt Discusses The Timing of Both He & Jinder Mahal Winning Titles

– During the recent GFW media call (via wrestlinginc.com), Sonjay Dutt spoke about both GFW &WWE expanding into India. Here are the highlights…

on The Timing of Both He & Jinder Mahal Winning Titles: “Interesting, you know, I don’t know if anybody copied. I don’t know of any of that stuff. Our India plans were solidified early in the year. We knew we were going to India, we knew a road map of where we wanted to go.”

On Jarrett Wanting to Break Into India Since 2012: “It’s something we here as a company have been trying slowly but surely to do,” said Dutt. “I think that 2012 was the first time I went to India for this company. In 2012, Jeff Jarrett and I and Dutch Mantel we all created this show called Ring Ka King. We shot 26 episodes in India, that was the first foray for basically anybody associated with any kind of professional wrestling company to shoot content for television, create stars. We created 14-15 Indian there that we took from obscurity, from small villages and auditioned, we made them wrestlers and made them stars and that was the first time that anybody did that. We’ve been trying this slowly buy surely consistently for the last five years.”
