Ranking Who Was REALLY The Worst Wrestler Every Year 1990-2021

13. 2009 - The Great Khali

Giant Gonzalez Eva Marie

The mid-2000s version of Great Khali was a fun and absorbing spectacle, and you've probably missed the entire point of WWE to complain about or deny it. He was better than Giant Gonzalez, and his presence added something undeniable to WWE's oeuvre. It helped that the wrestling was broadly good underneath his daft b*llocks, and he actually worked a super-dramatic match with John Cena.

The novelty had worn off by 2009, exposing the inflexible, thrashed husk underneath. The man couldn't even reverse an Irish whip without desperately holding onto the rope and dreading the prospect of moving.

Useless, immobile, clumsy, boring, and, by the end of the run, really quite depressing.
