10 Wrestlers Who Debuted At The Top

10. The Great Khali

They say the best way to assert dominance is to pick on the biggest, nastiest guy around - whether that's in a bar fight, a prison yard or a sports field. The Great Khali must have been a subscriber to that theory, as he had his sights firmly set on The Undertaker when he made his SmackDown debut on 7 April 2006.

Less than a month later, Khali destroyed then-World Champion, Rey Mysterio, in what was essentially a squash match. Khali would maintain this momentum when he finally did officially square off with 'The Phenom' at Judgment Day. Incredibly, Khali was booked to dismantle 'The Deadman'; the gigantic Indian barely left his feet the entire bout.

Proof that size conquers all in the world of WWE, Khali couldn't have asked for a better start to his Stamford career. In less than two months, Khali had crushed the legendary Undertaker in convincing fashion, and destroyed the reigning World Champion in just three and a half minutes.

Over the next year, Khali would travel from SmackDown to ECW and then Raw, gaining scalps and, in theory, experience along the way. Despite very little improvement to his in-ring performance, Khali returned to SmackDown - and everyone's worst fears were realised when Khali was inexplicably crowned World Heavyweight Champion in July 2007.
