It's painful knowing that The Great Khali was a World Heavyweight Champion, but it's true. He won the World Title during a Smackdown brand battle royal on July 17, 2007. The title was vacant because Edge suffered a torn pectoral. This title win also happened during a difficult time in WWE because it was shortly after the Chris Benoit double murder suicide took place. Perhaps we can blame Khali's title reign on Vince McMahon not being in the right state of mind. He still kept the title on him for about two months before he dropped it to Batista. The reason Khali won the World Title is because loves the big guys. He's as big as anybody in the company, so of course they wanted to put the major title on him. The problem is the guy can barely wrestle a five minute match much less a ten minute match that is passable. He's there as a novelty act, not a main event level performer. There was nothing impressive about Khali's World Title reign. It was the worst one in WWE history.
