The Great Khali deserves/needs another title run

[californiachef84]

What the hell are you talking about? What's REALISTIC in pro wrestling, are you kidding me?

The Great Khali,who is not good on the mic, who's only funny when he's not trying to be, who obviously can't wrestle, who can't even seem to pin someone else without tripping over or realizing he's not the legal man in a tag team match, does not deserve anything in WWE. How pointless was his return? And why does he keep forcing younger talents to job to after WWE made it clear that this guy will never give a ME push ever?

Do I think he'll get a pushed up in the card? Never
Will he continue making talented and younger wrestlers job? Pretty Much
Does he deserve a push? I don't see one reason at all to give him a push.

You didn't ask these questions, but they should have came into play (as most people in these forums would agree against a Khali push)

I was wondering if this thread was a joke after calling Khali one of the greatest ambassadors. I guess not

Where do I even begin here?

You obviously are one of the simpletons that don't understand simple things. Congratulations, you are just another one of the 95% of the people who are just average.

Answer this for me genius... Why does Kahli need to be "good on a mic" for it to be believable that he could kick someone's ass? This is very, very simple logic. When a wrestler is the size of someone like Shawn Michaels, they have to stand out from everybody else on the roster and be different in order to get over. When a wrestler is the size of Andre the Giant, THEY ARE ALREADY OVER! They are an attraction. The best, and easiest story to tell in pro wrestling is that of David vs Goliath.

When was Andre ever "good on a mic"?

If Andre the Giant was on the current WWE roster most of the people on this stupid forum would talk about how "he can't wrestle" or he is not "good on a mic".

Is Brock Lesnar "good on a mic"? No. But didn't Brock dominate the UFC and isn't he a legitimate bad ass? Yep.

Your narrow minded, inside the box worldview is mind numbing. Try to be a little smarter and think outside of the box.

I am not a fan of The Great Khali. He is clearly physically restricted in what he can do in the ring and his communication skills are non existent. In my opinion, with his current persona and position within the company, then he is not deserving of a title shot. However, if he was to turn heel and resume the role of the monster he portrayed at the time of his debut, the scenario and booking was done correctly, then I see no reason why Khali could not play a serious threat to any babyface title reign, or hold the title as a transitional champion. Perhaps re-aligning him with Jinder Mahal would instantly draw him heat, provide him with a mouthpiece, allow Mahal further time to develop, then be a good opportunity to write the big man off TV for good after Mahal is considered ready for some sort of push. Mahal could turn against him, state he was just using him to get closer to the top etc.

On the Daniel Bryan applying the LaBell Lock on Mark Henry comment. Yes! Yes! Yes! It is 100% believable. Any hold or manouvre that manipulates the joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons of another human being is greatly effective regardless of the size of the opponent/victim (as far as I can tell the hold in question works the elbow, shoulder and neck). I work with such holds on a daily basis and have done for the last 11 years. I'm only 5' 8" and 175 lbs and have restrained and moved people twice my size, not with ease I will concede, but effectively. Christ, my 7 year old daughter has just passed her first martial arts grading and she could have told you about the effectiveness of such holds.

Guys, i know you think this guy is trolling but i think he is being serious

This really shouldnt happen, i dont think the WWE can let it happen, he has less moves than cena for gods sake. He is constantly limping and he just doesnt have the believability factor anymore, i'm sure he has lost to mysterio and small guys like that, the wwe gave him no credibility at all.

And as for the OP's comment about Jinder or Ted Dibiase taking the title off him. WTF are you smoking bro? You've got more chance of Undertaker coming back and crucifying everyone like he did with Austin

 

[solidsnake]

and i believe khali should get a title run (in your mind alone ofcourse) just bcoz u think he deserves it.......i have no idea where ur head has been lately but it sure stinks....

 

[ultramattman]

OP is a genius. I'd use that storyline to get the belt on Khali, then launch a dominant six month run culminating in Khali putting over BARRY STEVENS at WM 29!!!

 

[ProWrestlingFan]

Most "Giants" in Pro-Wrestling suck.

Khali is the worst of them all.

 

[silverbullet]

id rather see the title on r-truth, hell id rather see the title on little jimmy, but wwe can make anyone look good, so I don't see how a run would be bad, his last run wasn't completely terrible, and it seemed realistic that a guy his size was dominate for the time he was, however bring his dam manager back, that was the only entertaining thing about khali is his manager!.

 

[TheNickster]

No.

Khali hasn't really done anything to earn a championship opportunity. The guy can barely walk, he can't wrestle, and I can't see him put on a good championship match with Sheamus, or Big Show. I liked him much better when he was turned heel in mid 2011 and early when he debuted. He would be a very good heel in my opinion just because his viciousness and ring presence would (for lack of a better term) "take away" the fact that he can't wrestle worth...you know what.

Another title for Khali

The short answer is NO!

The long answer is NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, NO!, & NO!

 

[Hot Soup]

Heh funny OP.

Taken at face value however ... no. Neither capable or deserving of a title run. He isn't even credible as a monster because he is so poor in the ring and so restricted , slow and uncoordinated in his movement.

The rest of the reasoning . delusion or trolling, which is fair enough.

 

[Mustang Sally]

The guy can barely walk, he can't wrestle, and I can't see him put on a good championship match with Sheamus, or Big Show.

For those reasons, Khali wouldn't make it as champion. The guy who holds the title has to be able to work a match and at least appear to be believable as a pro wrestler. Yes, many successful performers are less than technical marvels, yet they still appear to possess enough skills and movement to look as if they could handle the top job.

Khali doesn't. He and the Frankenstein monster share the characteristic of not bending their knees when they move......and while the only way Frankenstein is able to get you is if you stand still and let him wrap his hands around your neck, the same essentially applies to Khali. All he has going for him is that lame-looking open hand slap to his opponent's head, which can be delivered only if his enemy walks up to him and allows him to use it. Once on the mat, Khali is utterly helpless.....and if an opponent goes after his knees, he has no way to defense it.

Khali is a novelty act. Because of his size and comparatively trim body (relative to Big Show, that is) he has a place in WWE and I see no reason he can't continue to wrestle......but novelty acts shouldn't be champion; it takes prestige from the title.

It just wouldn't look realistic to have him as the titleholder. I get pains in my own knees watching him lumber around the ring. It would hurt just as much to see him as champion.

 

[The Scarred One]

There's no doubt that the Great Khali is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Due to his damaged knees, limited mobility and lack of mic skills, there's not a whole lot the WWE can do with him. They can't really push him to the main event again, but they can't release him either. I'm not expecting him to wrestle like AJ Styles, Kurt Angle or Daniel Bryan, but Khali has to rely on his opponent most of the time to carry him in a match. It must take a lot out of his opponents to do so, considering how limited Khali is. It's obvious the only reason he's still in the company is the Indian market. Most likely, the WWE resigned him earlier this year to keep him away from TNA's Ra Ka King promotion.

As for another title run, I would say the tag team titles are his best bet at this point. I think the WWE really dropped the ball with his storyline with Jinder Mahal. I wasn't too keen on the idea of Mahal being married to Khali's sister and threatening to divorce her to force Khali to work for him. If they had just kept it simple, by having Khali get sick and tired of being a joke and align himself with Mahal willingly, it would've worked out for both men. Then, Mahal would be in a better spot in the company and the WWE could slowly phase Khali out.

 

[AwesomeRko]

I don't think Khali should ever be in the World title/ main-event picture again for reasons others have elaborated very well on above namely his lack of in-ring ability or mic/promo-skills.

Yet he still does have his place in the company, he is a physical marvel and his incoherence/ inablity to talk could actually add to his mystique if used correctly. Khali is a valuable novelty act and talent on the lower mid-card and should be utilised to help re-invent the tag division perhaps alongside Mahal as The Scarred One mentioned and to put younger talent over.

Aside from that careful utilisation in other ring/talk limited roles most notably perhaps as a bodyguard to an upcoming heel could be good. He certainly has the physical stature to look legimately dangerous in that role without having to actually wrestle too much in the ring. reinventing him as a no-nonense ruthless, mercenary for hire could be the way to go in keeping him relevant within the company and on tv.

 

[dudedudedude]

Is his cause of the whole karrargaga tna thing being perceived as doing well in india? Is this what this topic was born out of? Because, I hate to break it to you, but that show sucks as hard as Khali sucks, and the last market in the world anyone should be pandering to is india...unless you're the sport of cricket I guess...but anyway.

No.

As we all know, for years the Great Khali has been one of the greatest ambassadors for the product that the WWE has had. The man's value, both from a business and especially an entertainment perspective, is probably greater than any other member of the current roster. Despite being so obviously held back throughout the years, probably due to WWE being intimidated by his crossover appeal (he has been in successful non-WWE produced movies) Khali has still been able to establish himself as a main event/upper card staple over the past few years. From comedy acts, to enforcer roles, to dominant heel runs, and even putting over young up and coming stars like Jinder Mahal (Khali has molded Jinder into the future world champion he has become today), very few performers in the history of wrestling have shown Khali's versatility and dedication to his craft.

The time is ripe for Khali to once again reclaim a world championship for one last run with it.

Similar to superstars like Kane, one of Khali's biggest problems is that he is too good at putting people over. For whatever reason, the WWE feels that guys like this shouldn't have the belts often, or don't need them to be successful. While that is true, it is sad that two legendary superstars like Kane and Khali have less world title (WWE/WHC) reigns combined over their entire careers than Sheamus has in two years. Much like Kane's run of a year or so ago, Khali deserves that one last monster run with the belt, and now is the perfect opportunity to seize what is rightfully his.

The way to do this would be through a feud with Sheamus. After he is done with Daniel Bryan at Extreme Rules, there will be no credible threats left to Sheamus on Smackdown. Enter Khali. He could start off by offering to help Teddy try to get his GM job back, and go around causing a bit of mayhem and letting it be known that Teddy should be GM. At the PPV after Extreme Rules, Khali takes out the tag team of O'Neil and Young (Johnny's two new signings) to prove that they have no talent. He then continues doing this, proving that Johnny's new guys have no talent, until Summerslam, where Johnny makes a handicap match of Khali and Orton versus Otunga, Henry, and a returning Wade Barrett with the stipulation that whoever gets the pinfall gets a title match later that night. Khali then double-crosses Orton, takes him out and scores the pinfall, then goes on to beat Sheamus for the belt that same night. He can then hold onto the belt until a young talent like Jinder or DiBiase is ready to come take it off him.

This is the perfect time to start booking Khali's next rise to greatness. How would you guys book it?

I agree fully. Give him a win at the Royal Rumble next year and let him win the WHC!

 

[frogsplash31]

Khali vs. Lesnar at Wrestlemania 29. Book it.

LMAO. But Khali is just TURRIBLE. It's painful to watch him. He went downhill after his initial face turn. Should have always stayed heel. But yea I would have agreed maybe when he was actually watchable when he was feuding with Taker or when he had the title. But as of the last four years he's just been atrocious.

 

[Headman]

I'm going to go ahead and say yes. Make Khali WWE champion. Push him to the moon and have him beat CM Punk for the title with a single chop to the head. It's not like we'll have to worry about bad main events because ever since Punk has been champion the WWE title has been defended on the midcard.

I must say, one of the better put together troll threads I've seen in awhile OP, kudos. But a troll thread nevertheless, made by an alt with two other accounts, both of which amusingly enough have the word "Troll" in them. Made it a bit too easy bud.

Closed/banned/etc.
