Bollywood Boyz on Randy Orton beatdowns:
Samir Singh said, “We were so blessed to be in that spotlight with Randy. I think that whole run with Jinder as a whole, you know, we got to do stuff with Randy. We got to do stuff with Hunter in India. I remember we did the thing with Sting in the ring. There were all these cool moments. We got superkicked by Shawn. These fun, little moments as a wrestling fan you’re doing and being in the spot we were, I think we made the most of that opportunity for what it was.”
Sunil added, “Just to elaborate on that. It was about maximizing our moments, our minutes, during those main event matches because the whole story was based around Jinder and Randy, but we were an integral part of that story by being on the outside, causing interference, but getting our receipts so to speak.”
Bollywood Boyz on Jinder Mahal winning the WWE Championship:
Sunil Singh said, “We weren’t privy to any of that information as far as why he was champion, but if you look at his backstory, he had been released. He came back better than ever and in shape. Not only that, he was a veteran of the business and of the WWE because he was already there for five or six years, so he earned his stripes and paid his dues. Timing is everything. They were expanding in India at that time and looking to do live events and what not, but again, we were just in the right place at the right time.”
On Brock Lesnar allegedly refusing to lose to Jinder Mahal:
Sunil Singh said, “This is the first time we are hearing about this.”
Bollywood Boyz on 205 Live:
Samir Singh said, “I think the hardest thing was the placement. It came on after SmackDown. I know the company was really behind 205 Live and all the boys on 205 worked hard every night. Guys like Ali and Murphy were having some amazing matches, but when you go on after Roman and Seth and Randy, it’s hard. You’re still establishing yourselves. Nobody was on cable TV. We were all on the Network and then you come on after SmackDown, it’s a hard challenge, but again, everybody busted their ass.”
Bollywood Boyz on being released by WWE:
Sunil Singh said, “Just before we got released, our confidence was sky high as far as learning from such great minds like Road Dogg, Shawn, Regal, and Hunter. We are taking what we learned and now we’re bringing it onto the independent circuit and applying it. Now when we get an opportunity to go do a Dark, or do a Rampage, you’re just applying what you learned and just go out and do the eight minutes you get on TV and just go do your best.”
