WWE's ambitious plans for Khali not only put him in a feud with The Undertaker immediately, but he even managed to win a World title before WWE realized he would not live up to their expectations. His size made him instantly stand out from every other giant who had come before him, but his size is also what limits his ability to move around the ring or have any decent kind of wrestling match. Khali is one of the most limited Superstars to ever wrestle for WWE, but he was not signed because of his wrestling skills. He was signed to be an attraction. Younger kids associate his size with him being dangerous and Indian fans view him as a celebrity. There is no doubt that he has value, but WWE has never known how to maximize that potential. Sure, it's easy to sit here on my couch and criticize how WWE books their wrestlers, but in the case of Khali, there seems to be no logic behind having him job to everyone and dance with Natalya and Hornswoggle. He should be booked as a monster who only make an occasional appearance to destroy someone so he can be booked as a real threat to a top star when they do decide to use him to put someone else over. He shouldn't go down from one kick to the knee. Khali could be used in a much more effective way to get the most out of the limited amount he can do in the ring, but he may have been booked too weak for too long to be looked at as a real threat ever again. What do you think? Who are the most limited Superstars who have ever wrestled for WWE?
