5 reasons the Great Khali is disliked by some wrestling fans

#3 Fans are bored of the foreign heel gimmick

The Great Khali and Jinder Mahal used to be a tag team

This has happened since the conception of professional wrestling: the American hero is pitted against the foreign wrestler who apparently hates the country he’s working in. What follows is a tedious ‘good’ vs. ‘bad’ rhetoric that gets the crowd going with ‘USA’ chants.

It’s this outdated way of thinking that’s directly contributed to the decline of TV ratings on Monday and Tuesday nights.

The Great Khali is just another in a long list of foreign wrestlers who have been used and abused in the WWE to project hate against a patriotic nation. Fans are bored of it and seeing as that’s all the Great Khali was only booked in that way, it’s hard to dissociate him from the horrible gimmick.
