With all due respect, what point does The Great Khali have on the WWE roster right now? The only thing that can really justify it is that he's considered a major celebrity in his home country of India and it's a good thing for WWE's global brand to employ him. If you're determining his value based on what he actually does, he really isn't worth whatever money they are paying him. Chances are he's making a lot of money too, just because he's a former World Champion that was given a big push right away. Khali is 42 years old and can barely move in the ring. He was never that mobile to begin with, but if you watch his matches from 2007 you can see that he could at least do a little bit. Now he doesn't do much at all. His music hits, people laugh, he does his chop, maybe his little dance and it's over in two minutes. There's really no use for him at this point although he's probably well liked because he's a good natured guy that never complains (most likely) so there's always going to be a spot for somebody like that. If Khali retired tomorrow, most people wouldn't even notice. He's barely visible on WWE television in 2014 and once 2015 gets here he'll have even less of a role. It's only a matter of time until Khali calls it a career. The question is, will anybody even notice?
