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. Did we watch the same main events? |

Khali isn't an all-star wrestler, but he he can look dominant. With the actual Rumble being the selling point of the Royal Rumble, I think that WWE could get away with a Khali/Cena Title match on the card.

Did we watch the same main events? I'll clarify, Big Show is by far a better wrestler and entertainer, but with his lack of speed due to his weight and injuries, his matches have become slow, plodding and boring. Khali can actually move a bit, which came as a pleasant surprise. His matches actually kept me interested. Thinking further alot of that goes to Dreamer and Cena, since they are 2 of the best sellers in the business. |

Big Show was for better. Only the last couple months Big Show was bad because he was hurt. Before that he was having some of his better matches in his career. The only matches during his best part of his wrong that was really boring was against Batista. Plus the ECW fans tore into it. Everything else was at less watchable.
Khali can be better. It's how he booked. The man does know and as a decent Chokeslam and power bomb. I saw his match from japan against Candido. He did more in that match then he ever did in the WWE.

I can't believe people are praising Khali. Even if some of you are joking, this is how Creative sees that something like this is working, and they'll bring in more crap.

Khali's improvement would be more obvious to me if he didn't stand there stiff as a board in between each move. even Big Show would sell his opponent's offense. you could put Ken The Box in Khali's place and it would make zero difference.
actually that would be even better !

Khali has officially passed Giant Gonzalez on the workrate food chain. Next stop Dave Sullivan.

Oops, sorry for caring more about Khali than that sh1tsucker Cena... at least he makes a DIFFERENCE ;D Here's the thing. Cena can atleast sell, Cena knows the basics, they keep Cena cause he sells merch. They keep Khali cause Vince has a mancrush on anyone over 6'10" |

I find Khali entertaining in that circus sideshow type of way, or like how you can't tear your eyes away from a train wreck. The guy wasn't allowed to compete in his own gimmick match for cyring out loud! I'm not joking, but I might actually tune in to Raw to see Khali vs Cena. So bad it's good.
We need a Khali/Cena Punjabi Prison match at the Rumble. 100% serious.

Obviously Khali is going to be limited in the ring by his size, but I don't understand how people can be completely unimpressed. There's big guys, and then there's Khali. From a kayfabe standpoint, this guy's size and imperviousness made unstoppable Superman Cena use a chair out of desperation. Why should he have to do any more than what he does? The moves he does are good because they make sense for who he is.

Nothing was wrong with Khali to begin with. He's a believable monster and that in my book makes him awesome.
Khali is the best.

Let's see, Khali in the video game pisses me off because he's a cheap-ass who no-sells everything
Khali in real life now resembles Khali in the videogame, especially now that he's in a main event spot on live TV when the last time they did that he apparently couldn't wrestle live TV anwyay.
Hence, I hate Khali, besides, he's just being built up to be defeated by Hogan at WM23 anyway for whatever reason.
We do not need immobile monsters in this day and age, and unfortunately Cena's super-push has caused this to happen.
EDIT: I will admit his in-ring ability, such as it is, has doubled...so now he has 4 moves instead of 2

As much as i loved to see Khali on RAW (i said "geez, that is Kevin Nash in a Khali suit!" in response to his seemingly newly-learned offense) and as much as I am looking forward to attending WM 23 and possibly seeing Hogan appear live, i am not so much looking forward to Hogan/Khali as I am unconvinced Khali can leave his feet on command, let alone Hogan could body slam this man.
Let's hope this improvement we are seeing continues

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... This is how we effectively book monsters. I don't want to see monsters over sell or sell that much, just dominate. THat's what I like to see monsters do, be monsters, and Khali is just so damn awesome in his presence. It's been a LONG time since WWe has had somebody like Khali i hope they don't book him like Show to the point where Jeff Hardy hands his ass to him weekly. In Fact I want Khali to Brain chop Jeff Hardy Oh and one more thing in the video game. Khali has gone on a tear through the whole roster, seriously once he took the belt from Edge, it has been Khali winning through every match. (well i did give him a Jacknife and a curb stomp) Khali is just the best guy in the game  nobody has beat him for the title not even Kurt Angle. |

why the bloody blue blazes does he never, EVER pick anybody up?  His gay chokebomb where the seller does all the jumping is not very impressive. His brain chops are gay. Not in the "I love men" way but the "Thsi suck" way. If he is so goddamned big and ulgy why does he never use any real big man moves? it baffles me. |
