KOP does his WWE Backlash 2017 Recap where we try to justify Jinder Mahal and his WWE Championship Victory.  We look back and try to make sense, besides the fact WWE is expanding to India, why WWE chose to let Jinder carry the ball. We also discuss how the WWE Championship has been devalued this year.   Plus, we notice Charlotte looks invisible in the women's division and that Luke Harper and Erick rown are being sadly underused.  Subscribe to the Wrestling is Real Podcast on iHeartRadio iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn and Google Play.
