Former WWE star defends the Unreal series as “such a great tool to move the business forward”
While speaking to Busted Open Radio, former WWE star Raj Dhesi aka Jinder Mahal defended the Netflix series WWE: Unreal…
“The way that I see the business going, and even what it is today, the best storylines are blending what’s happening—or what has happened—in your real life and bringing that somehow on screen.
That’s why I really believe Unreal is such a great tool to move the business forward.
Now, I know everybody has their opinion on it. Some people disagree, like, ‘Why are we pulling the curtain back and exposing the business?’ The business has been exposed. It’s fine. We all know what it is. It’s an art form as well. It’s the intersection of art and sports. It’s the perfect intersection.
Through that show, you can share struggles, really build that personal connection, and bring those into storylines. Or maybe you plant a storyline within Unreal. Everything is a work anyway. You plant something in Unreal and then bring it into Raw, and then it moves the needle forward.”
