10 Reasons Why You Need To Respect The Great Khali
6. (Un)Limited Offence
A commonly held misconception about The Great Khali is that he has a limited selection of chops and kicks that make up the bulk of his in-ring repertoire, bookended by his fondly-missed head squeeze and ten foot high tree slam.
Whilst this comparatively low number of impactful attacks implore some to consider him poor bell-to-bell, the broader point is being missed in that he achieves so much with so so little.
Booked like a giant and protected as a result, Khali's foes react as though they've just been severed in half when he lands a chop across the top of their head. Similarly, Batista, Ric Flair and others looked to the world as if their skulls were compressing their brains as he linked his hands around their hefty craniums.
Khali absolutely does a lot with a little, but in an industry where not enough performers work smart instead of working hard and injury rates soar, it's a facet of his overall presentation he should actually be commended for.
