10 Things We Learned From WWE Champion Jinder Mahal On Talk Is Jericho
9. He Was Drinking Every Night On The Indies
Likely due to depression over the fact that his 3MB stable had been completely trumped by The Shield in late-2012, Jinder slipped into a dangerous routine of heavy drinking and not giving a damn about his work. That trend continued when he eventually left WWE in 2014.
Continuing to drink every single night without much care, Mahal caught sight of a picture from one independent appearance on the internet in 2015 and decided to turn his life around. His diet poor and his outlook bleak, the Indo-Canadian star started to realise what crappy shape he was in.
From that point on, Jinder stopped drinking and took better care of his body. Early morning training suddenly became a way of life for him, because Mahal realised that his career would continue going nowhere if he didn't start respecting himself.
