10 Big Men Set To Make WWE The Land Of The Giants Again In 2014

Now, obviously the 'old' Khali is hardly the sort of wrestler we particularly want to see taking up air time but he fills the role of big man perfectly for the WWE. The promotional shots of him standing next to, say, Sin Cara, or the action figures an inch taller than the Cena ones, will sell themselves to the mainstream media. Kumar stands at 7ft 5in and, oddly, looks just like the Great Khali. Again, there is little information on him beyond this. He is currently training in Japan for the WWE and, although there is no news whatsoever on his debut, chances are it will be later this year if he responds well to the training camp. I'm sure we all know how his career will go. He'll be placed in a high profile feud before slipping down the roster and becoming a dancing joke. Vince usually does this with the big men he doesn't know what to do with. It's a shame but, on the flipside, can a wrestler sometimes be 'too' big? Even when Khali was slightly more flexible, he could hardly move in the ring. He will be slow and lumbering simply because of his size. This means that even Daniel Bryan wouldn't be able to drag a good match out of him. This is no attack on Kumar, simply the fact that sometimes a huge height doesn't necessarily equate to great marquee matches.
