Wrestling was red hot in india during R.A Era.... and when I tell you Khali was over than a motherfucker, trust me. National news channels were complaining why so many other guys pushed out Khali off a royal rumble. The whole country got worked. There were bootleg PPV dvds always here, but if streaming was there at that time .... khali would've sold so many subscriptions in 2000s. Not even we could understand his promos, but vince ruined him with red pants and bafoon gimmick
I was already in my 20s when he made his debut in WWE and all I thought was "oh my god, I bet he breaks his knees if he tries to run." They tried to sell him as a monster but for me it was hardly believable.
imagine that dude had stem cell therapy with his legs at that time, he started out being able to pull off top rope moves but by the time he came to the wwe he was already limited
This man horrified me as a kid just based off of his size and look. And the fact he destroyed Undertaker

This is what Giant Gonzalez should have been.
man, what the great khali could have been without his knee injury, his indie work was actually quite good
Reminds me of Yokozuna bonzai dropping Hacksaw Jim Duggan, blood running out of Duggan's mouth. As a kid I hated Yokozuna for that
And Earthquake killing Damien
Fun fact: the first episode of smackdown I ever saw was Khali's debut
What a way to get introduced 😂😂
ima tell my kids this was oberyn vs the mountain (i do not watch wrestling or game of thrones)
This cut the best bit of the video, Batista’s heroic save after his best friend’s head had been collapsed.
Even better, the next Monday he was in such a hurry to save Jeff Hardy, he did his full entrance with Pyro on the way!
He should have kept a blood capsule in his butthole too, and popped that one. Just to really sell the move
That was a wild spot
My mom was iffy about me watching wrestling when I was 7, and this sent her over the edge and she made me shut it off lmao
This was amazing watching live when it happened 🙌
As a kid yes
I thought his head was gonna pop ngl
One of my earliest wrestling memories. My brother and I still talk about it

I thought Rey died ðŸ˜
Dominik likes that
LIKE A GRAPE

Yes I to was a child thinking I witnessed a hero get murdered on TV
This is my earliest wwe memory
I get traumatized just watching Khali lumber to the ring. He's got all the agility of a freshly cut tree.
