Prior to his WWE Championship defense inside of the Punjabi Prison tomorrow at Battleground, Jinder Mahal spoke with NBC News about his workout regimen’s, the idea behind his “Khallas” finishing maneuver & more.
Here are the highlights:
Idea Behind The “Khallas”:
“His [Great Khali] finishing move was the cobra clutch. As a tribute to him, my finishing move is the cobra clutch into a slam.”
Being Shy:
“I’m very down to earth, quiet. I’m kind of a homebody, I have a little dog, She keeps me company. I just like to train and diet and get my rest so my body can recover so I can wrestle. It’s an entertainment industry and I know you have to turn up the volume, which I’m now comfortable doing. At first I was very shy to talk into the mic and to talk in front of people.”
Working Out To Get His Body How He Wanted It:
“You put in the hard work and then the result comes. It’s not that you see the result and then you put in the hard work. I was preparing myself. There’s a saying, ‘force the result.’ I was constantly getting in better shape, really watching what I eat, improving on all the facets of my game, so when the opportunity came I would be ready. You have to stay ready.”
