Vince McMahon is like a naughty child with a bad habit that cannot be curbed even after he is constantly disciplined by the WWE Universe. As much as WWE fans have screamed and shouted about not wanting to see giant lugs that were draws in pro wrestling's past, Vince still loves to push the boundaries.

In 2007, The Great Khali was the catalyst for ol' Mr McMahon to push his ideals once again. With the World Heavyweight Championship vacated by Edge, the door was opened for Khali to win a battle royal to determine a new world champion and fulfill McMahon's fetish once again.

To nobody's surprise, the fans hated it. With the charisma of a gnat and mobility of a boulder, Khali was the definition of the kind of character fans were no longer interested in seeing waddle around the ring.

Thankfully, Vince McMahon received the message loud and clear and the championship was moved on to Batista just two months later. Ironically, the decision to give Khali the title is what paved the way for him to plummet down the WWE pecking order.
