Title: World Heavyweight Title

Length: 61 Days (20 July-16 September 2007).

Where He Is Now: Nobody was ever going to accuse The Great Khali of wrestling classic matches. The literal giant could barely walk by the time he ambled onto WWE screens in 2006, but Vince McMahon didn't care because of his physical stature. What followed was a painful World Heavyweight Title run.

61 days felt like 661.

These days, Khali is pretty much retired from active wrestling. He did return to be inducted into the 2021 WWE Hall Of Fame, and bizarrely held the WWE Title aloft during Jinder Mahal's reign as champion, but he'll probably never do anything physical in the company again.

Follow Khali on social media and you'll see he's still active in the gym every day. The big man has taken an interest in politics too, which could've come in handy had he been interested in extending that World Title run further. Just kidding!
