10 Terrible Wrestlers Who Perfected AWESOME Moves

8. The Great Khali's Vice Grip

That The Great Khali was a bloody massive human being was the one thing he had going for him in WWE. So widely-criticised is the man and his work that breaking down his innumerable flaws would be a waste of words here, though there were occasions when the giant Indian was at least carryable. Matches with The Undertaker (August 2006) and John Cena (One Night Stand 2007) stand out in that regard.

Much of Khali's offense looked impactful because his clumsiness meant there were times he was legitimately beating the snot out of his opponents with thudding overhand chops and his concussive big boot. Either way, Khali's Vice Grip always looked horrible to endure, as the massive, ham-handed man looked like a horror movie monster trying to crush the opponent's skull like an eggshell, making it the perfect move for a man of his size and limitations.

Did it actually hurt? Hopefully not, but looking painful is more important than actual pain in this sport anyway.
