The Great Khali - a good wrestler?

[C4]

Well, I hear the "You can't wrestle" chants everytime Khali is involved in a match. Now I have just one little problem, why does the WWE use Khali like this? He is an average wrestler, look at some of his Japan matches:

See that? He used to jump inside the ring just like Paul London does. That shows how quick he was, he could perform some good moves like the Powerbomb and pumphandle slam why doesn't he do that now? Is it because he killed a wrestler by performing those moves or what? I came across this Indian News channel which was showing Khali footage, I didn't really understand what they were saying but they showed his Movie stunts and all that, I didn't even know he was making movies before he stepped into the world of pro wrestling. If Khali can't wrestle then Andre was nothing better. The Great Khali or Giant Singh (Japan Wrestling) looks to me like a great wrestler trapped inside this gimmick which needs to be removed. :angry:

Well, I judge him on his WWE Career. I don't watch Japan Wrestling. Why? I live in America. So I judge him on his WWE Career, whether Vince toned him down or not, I call it how I see it. And as for his WWE Career.....Khali sucks. I could be wrong, I never seen his matches from other promotions.

And on a side note, just because he can jump into the ring like Paul London doesn't make him a good Wrestler. A Backflip, front flip, any flip does not define you as a great wrestler. Examples of Jeff Hardy, London, Kendrick, ect.

People always say that The Great Khali is too big and that's why he can't perform certain moves so I meant that if he could jump over the ropes and come inside the ring then he could perform almost every other wrestling move since that shows how flexible he is.

i dont care what he can do. if shawn michaels isn't allowed to use more than 2 moves, ill start chanting "you cant wrestle" too. if they're not letting him use more moves, its their problem. why should we chant "you can wrestle" if he doesn't?

and besides, khali's character doesn't really need more than the moves he got.

 

[The Showstopper]

His gimmick is a slow giant with a couple of strong moves so I dont think he would use the other moves unless his gimmick gets changed.

I watched of both of those and saw nothing that I haven't seen him do in WWE before. You've convinced me of nothing.

 

[CenaMark54]

People chant "you can't wrestle" to any big man who cant run fast or do a moonsault.

They have no idea what they are talking about. They were chanting you can't wrestle to the Big Show at ONS for christ sakes. The dude is probably the best big man ever.

I watched of both of those and saw nothing that I haven't seen him do in WWE before. You've convinced me of nothing.

When was the last time he did a pumphandle slam, shoulder block, chokeslam or threw his opponent inside the ring like that. Also he never jumped inside the ring over the ropes like that or performed a DDT and a big splash. Neither did he perform a suplex or back body drop or a more perfectly executed powerbomb. I don't see any reason why you're not convinced.

I'm trying to search for the footage that the news channel was showing and hopefully will post that soon enough.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

Ok, he might do more moves, but does Vince controls his ugly selling? And I am not talking about his "I am a giant so I no sell some things", because I understand that, but when he is selling, like some of the Batista offense during their feud, he was pathetic, like when he moved his arms up and down pretending he was falling, that has nothing to do with his moveset getting tone down.

And quite frankly, what he does in WWE looks really bad anyways. His elbows to the head are horrible, and when he used to do the Roundhouse Kick, he almost never actually hit it.

i remember when Great Khali debuted in wwe. as he walked to the ring i thorught this could be a good star. moments later i was proved wrong, and nearly two years later he has improved, abit. at least he can walk to the ring now looking more confident. and with daivari he was better i personally believe but runjin has proved to be important in khali's storylines.

 

[HHHforever]

Yea quite honestly these videos don't really convince me of much. You say he doesn't do a choke slam, well what the fuck do you think a Khali bomb is? On top of that the power bomb that impressed you so much, did you look at that? Doesn't that look just a little too much like a last ride especially the way he covered that guy with the arms crossed? Yea I'm sure the WWE is going to want the Great Khali doing the same finisher combination that the Undertaker uses.

Khali's move set fits perfectly for what his gimmick is: A big giant monster. I don't think there's anything spectacular that he can do that they're aren't letting him. It's not like he a shotting star press, a moonsault or something and they're holding him back. His move set is fine, if they added a couple moves cool, if they don't that's fine too.

 

[MK3]

I likes the Great Kahli when he first debuted in the WWE. I guess the WWE creative team can't come up with any good ideas for Kahli anymore. But the same thing happened to Kane, and he had a spell where he was just..horrible. If WWE gives Kahli a good storyline to work with, i think that Kahli would do just fine. Right now he has almost nothing to work with. As people chanting "You can't wrestle" that's stupid to me. Kahli can wrestle. I watched some of his matches on YouTube, and they were pretty good.

 

[HHHforever]

^Khali and Kane are not comparable in the least bit imo.

 

[gashface]

I recently went to the Wrestlemania Revenge tour, WWE Smackdown house show. The Great Khali looked drunk whenever he moved or threw a punch, I have never been less impressed in my life. I don't doubt he can wrestle, why else would he be in a ring if he couldn't? But is he a good wrestler, I saw nothing to prove that he could do anything but throw a very bad and jelly looking punch.

The fact that he looks so good in the first video, is that Candido was a good seller. Doesn't impress me that much. Maybe he looks more mobile in those matches, but that's not to do with his gimmick, it sjust to do with him beign unable to move now? Roids?
