00:00WWE is no different than what you watch movies.
00:04We're just on a live TV and we're performing to do everything for our fans.
00:13They could just come with me for a minute or two, I mean, not even a minute or two,
00:17I'll say 30 seconds, in the ring with me.
00:19They'll find out for themselves if that was real or not.
00:23Hello, namaste, this is WWE superstar Vir Maha and I'm here with The Brute.
00:30Since I became a vegetarian, my sleep has been good.
00:43It's personal preferences.
00:45I sleep good.
00:47I digest my food really fast, faster than before.
00:50I recover well, seems to be having no problem.
00:54I transform my body quickly.
00:59I think it's all mental.
01:01I can only speak for myself, not for the other WWE superstars,
01:05because we all have a different diet plan.
01:12India does have a very, very good talent.
01:14And I think when we had a great Khali, he represented India for a very, very long time.
01:21And now you're talking about Aamir Raw and other hand we have Jinder Mahal.
01:27And I think slowly we're getting there where our fans in India,
01:30that truly they've been looking for their hero to cheer up their hero.
01:34And I think finally they're there and getting it,
01:36what they've been wishing for years and years.
01:46WWE is no different than what you watch movies, right?
01:51Here's a massive difference that the people needs to know.
01:56When you watch a movie, right?
01:59Everything probably it's a process of a year to a year.
02:02But at WWE, everything we do live, which is involved with so much drama,
02:08so much action, so much of everything.
02:13What we do in the ring, a lot of things is just not scripted at all.
02:23Not even a little bit.
02:24I mean, we're just on a live TV and we're performing to do everything for our fans.
02:35It's not just the wrestling.
02:36I mean, there's many, many things that goes along with it, right?
02:38Having athletic ability.
02:40Like you have to be crazy, insanely athletic to be able to move around in the ring.
02:46That's one, to be an athletic and to have a really good mic skill.
02:51So you can talk to the world, talk to your audience, our fans to teach them our life story.
02:59There's a lot goes into become one superstar.
03:07I like to represent my country and show all the youngster in India
03:13that no matter where you came from, who you are,
03:16and this is what it's all about.
03:19To show the world who you are and where you came from.
03:23And I think the tripunda that I applied and the dhoti I wear,
03:27that's something I've seen my father and grandfather since I was a very young baby.
03:31And I was able to carry that to the WWE Universe.
03:42Many of them have a very, very long career.
03:45Being in the ring and what we do is totally different than any other sports out there.
03:51We are sports entertainer, right?
03:54And certain age, even you talk about baseball, football, any sports, real sports.
04:01I mean, you can't do that forever.
04:03Just like the WWE.
04:05We have had a superstar who did it for very, very long time.
04:15They can just come with me for a minute or two minutes.
04:17I mean, not even a minute or two minutes.
04:19I would say 30 seconds in the ring with me.
04:21They'll find out themselves if that was real or not.
04:25I always take a great example of myself.
04:27Because when I was playing baseball, when I came to WWE, I said,
04:31Ah, easy peasy. No problem.
04:33I've been a professional athlete.
04:35I can just walk into the ring and become one of them.
04:38I was wrong.
04:39Wrong for many, many times.
04:45Few years.
04:46So it took me long to be one of them, the WWE superstar.
04:53And it's hard.
04:54It's not easy.
