I hate when people say "The time provided for x wrestler could have gone to y and/or z wrestler." It's WWE. That time was going to no one else. The time always has to go to someone. Or would the WWE just throw up a blank screen for the 5 minutes of time that Khali would have been on?

I don't mind Khali, but does he always have to squash someone and always come out on top?
The only thing I don't like is that anyone who isn't a main eventer ends up looking like a scrub whenever they're in the ring with Khali.

Or another useless squash match of some sort. At least it would be a useless squash by somebody that can actually move effortlessly. Khali looks like it hurts just to walk. He looks extremely awkward in the ring and that just doesn't translate well to TV.

WWE, if you want the Indian market, go get Sonjay Dutt or somebody and actually make Jinder Mahal interesting. Khali is DONE.

I'd rather watch Khali for 5 minutes than get 5 extra minutes of witnessing Alberto Del Rio's newer, more aggressive side.

Isn't Khali super over just for being Khali? There's no way in hell Sonjay or Jinder would ever reach that level of fame, even if pushed by WWE.

Is it just me or is he not even on TV that often? Sure he's been around in the past few weeks, but it's not enough to annoy me. I dunno.

I love Khali. He's terrible in the ring but I love the big lug all the same. I just find him endlessly entertaining.

Exactly, he's hardly being shoved at us, it would be different if he was in major stories or a regular main-eventer again. A wrestling roster need variety and he helps provide that. I don't see how Khali provides more variety. It's not like we don't have any other giants on the roster, or any other superstars of Indian descent. Well I guess he's the only superstar on the roster with twigs for legs, but is there really a strong demand for that? Well people seem to like AJ Lee and Cody Rhodes.

Most of Khali's "television time" is probably split between Superstars and WWE.com. He may, on rare occasion, get a whole two minutes on ONE of the main shows a week. Dat overexposure.

Whenever Khali IS on one of the main shows, he's either making someone else look like a scrub (random squash match against a low card heel) or being inserted into a spot that someone else could conceivably be in (Beat The Clock Challenge, Team Teddy, JTTS to the Main Event Heels). Put him on TV, but do it in a way that helps everyone involved. How come the likes of Alberto Del Rio and Big Show get to put on a competitive match against him, but the likes of say Primo & Epico can't?

Khali gives most of his money to his hometown in India, and has been since he started with the company.
Push that man every week, because he's a class act.

He's fine in the very small doses we are getting. WWE is using the guy perfectly.

I don't see the harm in Khali, personally. He's only doing like 10 minute matches at worst, let him earn his paycheck. Well... they could not give him a paycheck. As far as his status in India, is that really working out for them though? It works for Canada because they have PPV's up there. It works for Mexico 'cause they could conceivably have PPV's down there. Hell, it works for Europe and could very well work for Japan if they wanted it to because both of those are great wrestling markets. Exactly how much return-on-investment is Khali getting them from India?

I don't mind Khali, but does he always have to squash someone and always come out on top? From just a couple weeks ago...
