Having seen his two matches this week(vs Cena and Tommy Dreamer) I have to say Khali has come a long way since the days of him being too bad for live tv. Seriously whether you want to believe it or not, Khali was decent in his role on each show. He even added new moves like the stiff clothesline, and the Kevin Nash elbows in the corner, and the boot choke...I know that sounds sarcastic but seriously the guy did a choke bomb and a brain chop before.
His presence was a lot better too as I found he had a sort of "I'm the toughest guy in here" kind of thing going on. I really think the IWC is overly harsh on the guy because he's getting a push based on his size and not his work, but honestly this week, on live tv, he showed he can be decent.

Agreed. I think he adds something unique to his matches, cuz it's like, WTF can anyone do to even knock him down? The dude just looks scary.

that's cool. A couple more moves and he just might have a better move list than Cena.....

Kahli has improved. Isn't that like saying "Gee, the crap you just took doesn't smell nearly as bad as the one you took yesterday"?
As for him adding moves, he's still got a ways to go before the number of things he can do in the ring eclipses the number of years he's been in the business.

Totally agree. They've begun to use him right. Let his size speak for itself. He just shook Cena's punches off like they were flies. Plus his clothesline is sick.
I'm wondering if they can actually turn him around.

He's gone from a guy who could do two moves, to a guy who can do three.

When you're as bad as he was, really... there's nowhere to go but up right?

I actually see improvement too. And I friggin' LOVED that Cena just totally went and grabbed a chair; I thought that spoke louder than anything actually done in the ring.

Its a good point, "Super Cena"*'s offence on Khali wasn't doing anything so he grabbed a chair out of desperation. It really built up how big and bad Khali is. * Not using "Super Cena" as a derogatory comment, just commenting on how he's over come all the odds put in his way

Khali is the saviour of WWE Raw! I liked his work this week, especially the brainchop to Cena. I mark for him in a "Snitsky" way.
BTW, when will Snitsky debut in ECW?

HAIL SNITSKY!!

Still think he needs a mouthp peice though. Armando would be perfect for the role and would make sense with him controlling monsters.

Thanks ISFG ;D Looking forward to the new and improved Snitzky! Khali just SCREAMS for James Mitchell to be his mouthpiece. He sells a very average Abyss as a natural disaster, imagine what he could do with Khali (who IMO is way below average): Mitchell seems to shine when working with lumbering bricktops.

Just because he's gone from knowing 2 moves to 4 doesn't mean he should be main eventing. Say what you want about Cena's moveset, but at least he can move in the ring, the fans are into him, and he can speak english. 3 things Khali can't say. It pisses me off that the WWE will say that the reason guys like Shelton and Benoit can't get a constant main event push is because they "aren't good on the mic", and other guys "don't connect with the crowd" which is why they can't get main events. Yet, the WWE looks past the fact that Khali can't even speak english, and I know I'm not the only one who could care less about the guy. All the WWE looks at is his size and says, "let's put him on Raw in HHH's spot!" I hope by some miracle the WWE realizes Khali sucks and blows at the same time and he gets released soon.

I liked how Dreamer tried to get a weapon in there and Khali just stepped on it and didnt let him pick it up, and from there it was just over...
...thats about it...

I think Khali will end up in the undercard very soon, so let's be happy for him being in the spotlight for the limited time. As for Benoit and Benjamin, they're great at making others look good but "business"-wise they're really no selling points IMO. At least not in the WWE.

Don't kid yourself.
Khali has all the charisma of a manaquin.
In between moves he just stands there like an idiot.

During Khali's matches this week all I could think of is that he is better than the Big Show at this point. Big Show's ECW matches were unwatchable, but in the current role Kahli is just fine.

I agree that during the Dreamer match I saw much improvement but like someone else stated when you were as bad as he was on SD you have nowhere to go but up. I do take in consideration that his size does limt his limitations. Here something to think about:
Andre the Giant is considered a legend but yet he had no more moves than Khali. Andre didnt even have the Chop of death!

Khali is awesome. He's what a monster should be -- a no-selling, lumbering oaf.
