Sanga comments on WWE release

Sanga has commented on his WWE release. 

The 38-year-old was one of five wrestlers WWE cut from its roster on Friday. Jinder Mahal and Sanga's Indus Sher teammate Veer Mahaan were among the releases as well. 

In a video he posted to social media on Saturday, Sanga said WWE wants viewership from India but now no longer has any athletes from the country. 

A translation & transcription of Sanga's comments (via Sportskeeda) is available below. 

Sanga said:

When it comes to viewership, you want it from India. You want viewership on Facebook from India, the same goes for views on YouTube and television. But, when it comes to talent from India, you're not encouraging it [...] It's sad, but you need to understand that we come from a land with 1.4 billion people, and they like you and us, and they want talented athletes from their home country to be represented and work on an international level [...] It hurts when I hear this or think about it, but your company doesn't have any athletes from India.
