10 Reasons Why You Need To Respect The Great Khali
8. Jinder's Saviour
The Great Khali could prove to be the vital ingredient that finally gets Jinder Mahal over the hump as an actual main event talent.
Since shocking the world with his WWE Title win, Mahal has failed to rise above the lethargy his matches have always generated, despite the help of his Singh Brother stuntmen in matches with Randy Orton and a relatively well-established new finisher.
He's not yet a strong enough heel to draw real heat, with fans continuing to neglect 'He's not from here' as a single issue reason to despise SmackDown Live!'s newest star. Likewise, the predictable run-ins from the former Bollywood Boyz have already passed their sell-by dates, with Samir Singh's terrifying tumble from the top of the Punjabi Prison's outer structure through a table probably not living as long in the memory as the time earlier this year when him and brother Sunil got launched through those same announce booths with reckless suplexes.
Khali will serve to be the glue that holds Mahal's reign together, as well as giving 'The Maharaja' a more elevated platform as a leader of men, rather than merely a keeper of goons.
