24 WTF Moments From TNA Impact (Oct 28)

5. Mahabali Shera Still Can't Speak English

A promo airs to help big-up Mahabali Shera ahead of his match against Kenny King in the World Title Series on next week's show, and much like Grado, subtitles have been used to compensate for the fact that Shera isn't just tough to understand, he still can't really speak English to a good standard at all. Whereas Grado's subtitles mostly just made it clearer to understand him, Shera's actually re-organised the structure of his sentences to make them sound better, which considering how many suspect Shera is the next talent being groomed for the TNA World Title, is really quite worrying. Yes, TNA's upcoming tour of India is majorly important for them financially, but even so, putting the belt on someone with such a poor grasp of English could very well alienate a lot of American audiences in particular. If they're going to do this, the smart thing would be to get him a charismatic manager who can just do his talking for him.
