The Great Khali is the only guy on here that's ever been a World Champion in WWE. When he won the World Title in 2007 it led to a lot of disappointment among wrestling fans because they knew how immobile he really was. Standing at 7'1" and 350 pounds, he's an imposing figure. No doubt about it. Khali started in WWE in 2006. A big reason for it was because of his size obviously, but they also wanted to hire an Indian professional wrestler. He's a famous man in India and his presence has helped WWE's growth there. They've signed multiple deals with TV companies in India in part because of the fact that they employ Khali. When Khali was getting pushes he had either Daivari or Ranjin Singh (a WWE writer) to do promos for him while Khali just stuck to having bad matches. He had a few matches with John Cena and Undertaker that were decent at best, but for the most part he was pretty awful all the time. It's amazing that Khali has been in WWE for eight years and that he's still there in his early 40s even though he'll never get a push again. He's just used for comedy purposes. His presence as a draw in India is probably a reason why he's still there too. At this point if Khali left nobody would really notice.
