He makes Khali look like Ricky Steamboat in comparison.
Now, I have a question to someone who actually watched Ring Ka King: was he always this bad? because if he was, I have absolutely no idea why you would ever hire him. He's not even good as a lackey as you can see from the gifs in this thread.

To be honest, how many non-folding chairs do wrestlers run across that are around the ring?

He's not even good as a lackey as you can see from the gifs in this thread. I recently watched a couple of his Ring Ka King matches and from what I saw, he may have actually been worse than he is now. During a match he had with Scott Steiner, Khoya botched a clothesline coming out of the corner. Steiner got pissed at him, pushed him into the other corner, and gave him a hard fist to the jaw out of frustration. Then he put Khoya right in his finisher and ended the match, mercifully(as JR would say.) |

I know I'm gonna come off like a crusty old "DIS BUSINESS" dude by saying this but if I was running this company, I would have fired him the second he walked back through the curtain. Beyond ridiculous. You are part of this dark, diabolical cult full of heels and you are actively slapping the hands of fans? Jesus Christ, have you not watched a day of wrestling in your life? I know kayfabe is dead but part of the fun is pretending that this is real. Act like it. Counter-point: Cults can be known to entice people to join by being seemingly kind on the exterior. Khoya was just sowing the seeds for mass recruitment. Shouldn't Storm be the one slapping hands then? He joins a list of many who shouldn't be on TV. Khoya, Melendez, Crazzy Steve and Shaw are all guys who need the boot because they're not of TV quality yet TNA keeps using them. I'd say it's an insult to compare Crazzy Steve and Samuel Shaw to Khoya. Crazzy Steve and Shaw at least play their characters well. |

Watch those segments from last year with Brittany. Not ready for TV. |

Shaw is absolutely terrible. Watch those segments from last year with Brittany. Not ready for TV. Shaw has refined his character well in the past year. It's actually entertaining now. Plus he's a good talent. I wish he'd get some TV time other than the ONO shows because his character can be a good lower card talent if given the chance. Make a team with him and Steve, give them both something to do. Knux and the rest of the crew are so rarely around anymore you may as well use Steve for something more than a backstage appearance. |

Did they seriously just sign this guy because they wanted their own version of The Great Khali or something? Yes. |

I think it was during the Battle Royal a few weeks ago where he tried to punch Spud and Spud ducked. He angled his punch upwards so much that Spud could have remained standing without getting hit.

I'm still laughing at the fact that TNA actually debuted this guy during the waning days on Spike TV when no one was watching those lame duck shows, then expects people to actually know him or care about him on Destination America. Obviously he sucks though.
TNA is sad right now. When I even see a good match I tend to think these guys are wasting that effort on a nothing show that's on a Z grade network no one watches. Watching Angle/Lashley makes you wish those guys were having 1 last good run in WWE. Wouldn't Lashley be a great opponent for Lesnar?

Even more proof was the Ultimate X match to start off the show, all three teams did a pretty damn good job in that match. Manik and Sanada looked liked a cohesive unit plus the one semi-comedy spot was well done. |

I don't get why out of the Indian wrestlers out there, they went with Khoya. Sonjay Dutt used to be their token Indian. Why not go back to him? He's not doing anything of note currently. Jinder Mahal is available and he is good enough not to botch basic wrestling moves. Khoya is woefully not ready for tv. TNA has a serious problems of putting people on tv with no real grasp of the basics and tossing them into positions beyond their abilities. Chris Melendez is as bad as Kris Lewie but get a pass due to him missing a leg. Rebel sucks in the ring and got injured because of that. Even wrestlers who are experienced come off as underwhelming and bad in TNA. Look at Havok and Brittney.

After checking Wikipedia for some info on this guy, I found out that he made his debut in December 2011. He's been wrestling for nearly 4 years, and he's still like this. That is Rosa Mendes levels of horrible.

My guess is that they wanted an Indian who was actually from India. |

A lot of the inexperienced TNA guys are going to stay green then and probably the main reason as to why NXT are going on the road. |

The thing is, I'm sure the NXT guys get to wrestle off of TV, though giving them road experience is wise. I don't think TNA can even really do that. Best they can do is let guys wrestle elsewhere but I don't know how many avenues they really have to do that. |
