Khali counting to three as he was being pinned

[mrbananagrabber]

Did anyone notice, after the giant swing, Khali just lay there and audibly counted 1, 2, 3 while Cesaro pinned him?

It was late and I was pretty tired, but I'm almost certain that happened. Did I dream it?

[DIIV]

I did notice this, have no idea why he'd count if he's the one getting pinned. Maybe Cesaro forgot how to count to three.

[Emmet Russell]

I noticed it. I laughed audibly.

Khali is the greatest bad wrestler to ever exist

Rock was always bad for visibly watching the ref count. He'd be "knocked out", for some reason, they always did a close up of his face and you could see staring at the ref, watching the count to kick out.

To be fair, I can totally imagine Rock in-character staying down to kick out near 3 for the sake of being dramatic.

Yes, we noticed. And laughed. I guess he was ready for it to be over?

A lot of wrestlers watch the ref count. Kayfabe wise I pretend that they are just resting for 2.9 seconds.

I guess in kayfabe maybe he was so dizzy and disorientated from the swing he forgot where he was and thought he was in an English lesson or something.

Did anyone else catch Cole calling Hornswoggle by his real name?

Yeah it's strangely endearing when he doesn't seem to know what's going on, it was particularly funny when he eliminated himself from an over the top rope challenge.
I just don't have the same goodwill to other bad wrestlers or even people screwing up in general (for example I really hate Del Rio's flying nothing).

Oh that's what that was, with those three clowns I just assumed it was a reference I didn't understand.

[CM Parish]

They could just explain that he was dizzy as f*** and didnt know what was going on so he counted.

But yeah, he's such an adorable big lump you can't hate the guy.

[Bear Skin Rug]

I found it endearing.

I remember Matt Striker giving exactly that reason on commentary.

[skulldouggory]

reminds me of some bit from a sitcom where people would read/talk out the lines while watching a subtitled movie.

[Throwback]

I just watched it ad didn't notice

I'm surprised he said it in English instead of that garbled, inhuman noise he usually makes.
