11 Greatest Carry Jobs In WWE History
2. John Cena Vs The Great Khali
If one match with two trained wrestlers could be somehow more miraculous than that of a novelty fare featuring a celebrity, it was the epic John Cena vs Great Khali WWE Title match that closed 2007's One Night Stand pay-per-view.
The Great Khali (despite what appears to legitimately be his very best efforts) may be the worst wrestler in WWE history. Yet, because of his natural size and a plug-in to an enormous Indian market WWE had long been trying to penetrate, his presence brought great value to the organisation.
This was especially true during his brief spells at the top of the card, with matches over the years against The Undertaker, Batista, Triple H and especially Cena carefully protecting his fearsome aura. A 'Falls Count Anywhere' sequel to their uninteresting clash a month prior marked a turning point for both. Long desperate for acceptance as a headline act himself, Cena wore every sports entertainment hat in an effort to make the match something special.
Bumping like he'd never done before, Cena sold and sold and sold, with Khali wearing 'The Champ' down with his punches, stomps, and at one even point a spinning back kick.
The climactic finish saw the Champion hurl his champion off the stage with an enormous FU. It was a career best effort from Khali himself, but required Cena's cinematic giant-slaying performance to sell the story.
