You know, Big Show isn't a much of a wrestler either, and he still manages to put up matches even though he's almost just as slow as Khali is. When you're that tall and big, you don't even expect him pulling off hurricanrana's and 619's. As much as you hate to disagree with it, Khali does have wrestling talent, all that time spent in Japan says so. He may lack the pure essentials of a wrestler, but he makes it up with his damn size, maybe its both of these combined (little wrestling skills+7ft tall) that got him this far. And that pretty much sums up the WWE (Its Entertainment, then Wrestling). With guys like Taker and Kane tiring out, WWE needs their share of replacements.
Though, I dont get why Vince can't just let Khali stay quite. Even his hindi is hideous. If Kane and Lesnar got where they are without speaking a word in the mic for a year, so can Khali.
Remember when Orton was made the world champ? it got in his head and he started acting like a complete idiot, arrongant, rude and inpolite. Sure they later realised it and removed the belt so what? the damage was already done, Early pushes are always a bad idea unless the Crowd actually likes the New comer (Brock Lesner and Bobby Lashley are good examples) Pushing Khali right now and getting him the US or World Champ Belt would be a atrocious idea, Fans will Boo the hell out of him and seeing how his accent is (blah, yadda, grumpdhz!) he can't even make the crowd eat their words. My Point? Khali is not ready for wrestling, he needs MULTIPLE rounds to OVW and he should probably loose some weight as well (350 would be good) Sorry, But i am not a patriot and i look at things logically ( no disrespect, you're smart yourself) whats logical right now is for Singh to crawl back into the Cave and learn the basics. Looking forward to hearing your reply
Lesnar was boo'd all the time when he first came. I still remember his very first feud was with the Hardy Boyz, and nobody really liked him. He was boo'd plenty until the KoTR, but his push never stopped, to this extent he beat Hogan and the Rock. Reason? He brought in ratings. Heel or Face, both have equal potential. I think the word you're looking for is lame or boring, that's when the crowd doesn't even care to give the wrestlers a responce.
Anyways, I agree with you on the fact Khali could definitely get some training, (half a year or more in OVW should be enough?) and if he's deciding to take on the mic, he should learn how to speak english and properly. (He did say some english lines beautifuly in 'The Longest Yard' movie), but on the weight part, no, at least I don't think so, and I bring Big Show the prime example here. Khali better stay where he is before he turns himself into a Kevin Nash or something.
I think Khali should come back after getting some rest and training (and vocal classes), and go all heel. That's how the greatest superstars we have today started. (Rocky Maivia? This guy was boo'd like hell!, Shawn Michaels, I think he could make a house out of the amount of paper garbage thrown at him during noob days)
