10 WWE Stars Undertaker Failed To Elevate To The Next Level

6. The Great Khali

At first glance, the Great Khali looked like he might actually make it in WWE. Unfortunately, once he actually started €˜wrestling€™, everyone could see the writing on the wall: this mammoth of a human being could barely wrestle at all, and was hired solely due to his size and ethnicity. The Undertaker was stuck getting demolished by Khali for a few months, and in that time, Khali showed just how limited he was from his own stature. While Undertaker had demonstrated over the years that he could do many things and adapt to different styles, Khali was straightforward and boring when it came to offense. He swung his arms slowly and lazily, lifted his leg for a big boot in an even lazier fashion, and his two finishers, the Chokebomb and the Vice Grip, were so simplistic that even if Khali had actually put his opponents in a real head vice and squeezed, it wouldn't look good on TV. Khali and Undertaker had a plodding rivalry that did little to elevate Khali€™s career. He would constantly get chants of €˜you can€™t wrestle€™, and his reign as World Heavyweight Champion was a catastrophic flop. Even though he was portrayed as a true monster that was believed to have €˜broken the Undertaker€™s spirit€™, not even the Deadman could make this lumbering giant look like a real Superstar.
