First off, I am a huge fan of Jinder and think he completely deserves his position based on talent.
But based on booking, a month ago he was the lowest of jobbers, and almost no one cared about him (because they werent given a reason to).
Now, with Roman the main thing his fans say about him to act like he deserves his position is to say "Look, he gets reactions!", "People can't stop talking about him!","He can get huge reactions just by standing in the ring and not saying a word!".
They use this as a basis to say he deserves his position because he can generate these reactions. Which the counter argument would be that ANYONE on the roster can get these reactions if they were given his push. Which his fans would obviously deny.
Now, it seems that argument has been proven correct. We are seeing a guy who basically a bottom tier jobber getting big reactions in his matches and being the most talked about wrestler on the internet, and he has only been getting pushed for a month.
Imagine the reactions if Jinder main evented 3 consecutive Wrestlemania's, dominated 3 consecutive Royal Rumbles and retired the Undertaker? Exactly. They could even turn Jinder face and he would be the top merch seller because of the kids and the people who believe in kayfabe.
One of the great thing to come out of this Jinder push is that it completely kills all arguments of Reigns getting reactions because of his talent, and that it is 100% his booking. That "He deserves to be the face because he gets the most reactions" argument is well and truly dead.
