Last week after WrestleMania 34, I had a chance to catch up with my good friend of more than a decade, Calgary’s Jinder Mahal. I asked Jinder what performing at WrestleMania meant to him. He said, “Wrestlemania 34 was a huge moment for me both professionally and personally. Although I’ve been part of WrestleMania in the past, I felt like I hadn’t yet had a “Wrestlemania Moment,” and this year’s event definitely gave me that career-defining moment. However, my ultimate goal is to main event WrestleMania!”
Jinder is in the best shape of his life, the results of committing himself to a strict diet and hard work and dedication in the gym. I asked him how important his diet and exercise regime have been to becoming successful:
“My rise in WWE was kickstarted by my physical transformation,” he told me. “My transformation represents more than what is just skin deep; it represents my motivation, drive and willingness to constantly improve. For this WrestleMania, I did an eight-week bodybuilder diet and exercise program, which was extremely difficult to do considering our travel schedules. I hired a professional coach, carried my pre-packaged meals with me in a cooler bag, and woke up early or stayed up late to ensure that I didn’t miss a meal or workout.”
I ask Jinder if it was his dream growing up to become a WWE Superstar:
“As long as I can remember, all I wanted to be was a WWE Superstar,” he answered. “At a young age, I was captivated by the larger-than-life personalities I saw on TV. Superstars such as Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, Razor Ramon, and of course Calgary’s own Bret “The Hitman” Hart. Later in my teenage years, I became a huge fan of Mick Foley, Steve Austin and The Rock. Little known fact; I showed up to my first day of training wearing The Rock’s shirt, and had shaped my sideburns exactly like his. How embarrassing!” Jinder told me that the Superstar of the past that he most aspired to be like the was Bret Hart. “He often faced bigger or stronger opponents, but always found a way to come out on top.
