Admit it, you knew this big guy was going to show up sooner or later. There's always been this story floating around that WWE like keeping The Great Khali under contract because he's a huge star in his native India. Whilst this is true, Khali is infamous in his homeland, booking him the way WWE do surely wouldn't appease the Indian demographic, who will see him - quite rightly - as nothing more than a low-card comedy act. Previously, Khali had been booked as a dominating giant, even holding the World Heavyweight Championship, but those days are over. In 2014, the big Indian could barely move around the ring, which makes his salary - almost $1 million - utterly ludicrous. Is there anyone in pro wrestling who does so little for quite so much?
