In 2006, Vince McMahon must have thought he had struck gold when The Great Khali arrived on his doorstep. Not only is Khali a mammoth of a man, but he hails from a land that 1.3 billion people call home. A land previously untapped by WWE.

WWE pushed Khali and they pushed him hard. The trouble with that was not only was Khali not the greatest wrestler in the world, but he also didn't bring much to the table in the way of promo skill.

Despite that, WWE once again had the new guy battle The Undertaker, and in one particular match, Khali pinned the veteran with just one foot planted on his chest. Like so many before him though the Indian Superstar's act descended into farce. He went from a terrifying behemoth to The Punjabi Playboy.
