The only man who can replace Lalit Modi
Vince Mcmahon, whatever else he is, is the only person other than Lalit Modi who can run IPL. I will not recant that even under torture. (“I wish your kitchen was cleaner, get a maid, bathe” put on loop in two or three female voices has been classified as torture in some forward looking countries). I repeat: Vince Mcmahon, whatever he is, is the only person other than Lalit Modi who can run IPL.
Cthulhu!!
Cthulhu could probably run IPL, but it’s not really a “person”. Cthulhu would probably just feed on the team with a slow over rate, making way for new teams. Cthulhu would not take betrayal from Pawar. Cthulhu would set the Shogoths on the Government and the Opposition. As I put more thought into it…
Wait no. Vince McMahon. Yes, he can totally run IPL. First, he’ll change his name Vince McMohan to please Modi’s alleged political leanings and second he’ll do all the things I listed in Part1 Lalit Modi might do a great job with WWE as well. First thing Modi is going to do at WWE is get Angelina Jolie to adopt Stampede Kid (TJ Wilson).
It was rumored that Jolie was upset that her biological child would always be rich He’ll just say someting insightful and sensitive like, “That’ll teach Shiloh to be born rich. Take this kid under your wing. He'll keep the rest of your tag team in line and will come in handy with all that tree-hugging stuff you've been itching to do. He will choke slam those Republican Congressmen. Plus, he's not really American, he's from Canada.” Kaput. WWE gets Brangelina as brand ambassador. Modi will also be able to entice Palin, Fey, and I suspect even Oprah by appealing to the things that drive them. Modi could get Angelina to adopt the Stampede Kid, He would if he was running WWE

WWE gets Brangelina as brand ambassador if the IPL dude calls the shots. Modi will also be able to entice Palin, Fey, and I suspect even Oprah. I have that much faith in the guy who took down Tharoor using Twitter, not merely criticizing him for it, as all the punks before. How strong is Lalit’s kung-fu? Granted, it was more of an intellectual judo maneuver on Modi’s part, but the comparison stands.
Surprisingly, between Lalit Modi and Vince Mcmahon, it is God Emperor of Rajasthan’s Dunes, Modi who has a criminal conviction. Modi has pled guilty on drug possession and kidnapping charges. Yup, back in the day in college, it happened. Vince has been accused of dealing steroids and sexual assault, but charges haven’t been proven. Macmahon is no saint, but in a very relatable-to-Indians-way the WWE is run like a family enterprise. The WWE is a mom-and-pop show. And as the Indian people are finding out, a significant part of the IPL has a direct or indirect involvement of Modi’s extended family and friends.
Neither Lalit Modi, nor a member of his family, has ever actually bowled in the IPL but he’s on the cameras a lot more than Tendulkar or Dhoni. Modi has even managed to get more air time than habitual ASWs Gavaskar and Sidhu. (Yes, I saw that Attenborough documentary where he showed that it takes an attention-seeking-whore know one ).
MacMahon, also an ASW, has most definitely wrestled in the ring. Any one who knows about the Montreal Screwjob will tell you what Vince can do in the ring is nothing compared to what he’s capable of outside the ring.
So one-on-one who is the bigger jerk? ….Can’t we all just get along? !
They’re both equally obnoxious, successful people who can give the public what it wants. Leave Lalit Modi alone! Leave Vince alone! Sorry, I just can’t do this without Cris Crocker joining Mindry.in. But the powers that tap want IPL be remain entertaining but not necessarily retain Modi, they better get Vince on the phone quick.
