11 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About The Great Khali
10. Him And The Big Show Aren't Best Buddies
I think it's safe to say that just about every person in wrestling, nay, the world, was in raptures of delight at The Great Khali's Battleground return. Let's not forget: he's seven foot tall. How is that not good?
All except The Big Show, perhaps.
By all accounts, Khali is one of the nicest blokes around, what the yolk folk would call a 'good egg'. But petty jealousy was enough to cloud this benignity from the Big Show.
The problem with being quite so massive is that there's only a limited range of moves you can manage. When another giant strides into town and starts imitating your most effective offence, suddenly it becomes diluted. For the World's Largest Athlete, Khali was competition.
One can understand Show being miffed after repeated requests that Khali vary his moveset fell on deaf ears, but that didn't make Mr. Wight Mr. Right when he flung a punch in the direction of the passive Punjabi. In a rare, scarcely believable display of agility, Khali swiftly ducked the swing, after which, in a common, entirely believable display of clumsiness, Big Show tripped over a mislaid bag. Eventually, after some further tumbling, the fight was broken up with nothing damaged besides dignity.
