10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About The Great Khali

The Great Khali was released by WWE this past Thursday after eight years of employment. He was a former World Heavyweight Champion that was the first Indian wrestler that WWE ever signed. He was very popular in his home land, but he moved to America to wrestle. Considering he spent eight years in the biggest wrestling company in the world it's fair to say he was very successful in his career. When WWE fans think of Khali they don't consider him to be a great wrestler, nor should they. He was never really that good at it, but that's also because of how big he was. Khali was a true giant that is 7'1" and about 350 pounds. From the moment he showed up in WWE he was the biggest guy in the company as he towered over other giants like Big Show, The Undertaker and Kane. There are a lot of memories that fans have of Khali, both good and bad. Okay so most of them were bad, but at least he made us laugh a lot of the time. Khali had a strong push in his first two years in the company. The last six years have mostly seen the comedic side of Khali because WWE probably knew it was too difficult to push him as a serious wrestler. That's why he'll be remembered as the guy that can't sing "Happy Birthday " and is tough to understand when he talks. Due to his release this week, I figured it was good time to give him the "WWE wants you to forget" treatment. As is always the case when this column is done, it's only WWE related things that will be mentioned. What he did in other wrestling promotions before WWE doesn't matter. His performance in the 2005 film The Longest Yard isn't relevant because that was before he was in WWE too. The focus will be on in-ring happenings as well as some behind the scenes stuff that WWE doesn't want its fans to know. Here's a look at ten things WWE wants you to forget about The Great Khali.
