Jinder Mahal talks title win:

"As soon as I walked through Gorilla, they are all standing there and giving me a standing ovation. It was one of the greatest feelings I have ever had. I don't think I ever got a standing ovation walking back through Gorilla before. I've been working for 15 years now, so half of my life has been dedicated for wrestling. So that felt great. It all felt worth it at the exact moment that I won. Coming back through Gorilla and getting all the respect from Vince and all the boys and the producers, it was really a dream come true."

Alum banned from DX:

X-Pac says Vince Russo was going to put Val Venis into DX...

If you feel like someone is not right, then don't let it be done."
