Impact Wrestling Announces Desi Hit Squad

Impact Wrestling is to begin featuring a stable of wrestlers from India named the Desi Hit Squad. The promotion sent out a release which featured biographies of the wrestlers who will be participating in the group.

The faction will be led by “the Great” Gama Singh, who was a big heel in Calgary’s Stampede Wrestling for many years. Gama was the leader of the “Karachi Vice” stable in the promotion. He is also the Uncle of former WWE champion, Jinder Mahal. The 63-year-old will most likely only be a figurehead leader for the group, however.

As part of our commitment to showcasing the most promising Indian performers, a new stable known as Desi Hit Squad led by the legendary @GR8GamaSingh will debut on IMPACT in the coming months.
