#3 His in-ring experience is immense
The Great Khali has been a professional wrestler for over 17 years. It has all he has done in his life and being a professional wrestler has taken him all over the world.
Khali has wrestled for promotions such as New Japan Pro Wrestling and All Japan Pro Wrestling in Japan, where he registered victories over Japanese pro wrestling legends such as Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kenzo Suzuki.
Khali also wrestled in Mexico, under the Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre promotion, for a brief period. He also once signed with WCW, a few months before the promotion folded.
Over the course of his storied career, the man has truly been to places. But not only has Khali wrestled all over the world, he also wrestled some of the best and most popular wrestlers in the WWE.
Khali’s impressive resume consists of matches with The Undertaker, John Cena, Triple H, Kane, Batista, Rey Mysterio, Edge among many others. Khali triumphed over most of his opponents and whenever he was brought down, it was as a result of well-contested matches, except for the later part of his career.
Nobody should ever expect a man like Khali to move around like a Cruiserweight (or like Brock Lesnar), but the man has wrestled in some memorable matches (such as the aforementioned John Cena match at One Night Stand) and has done justice to all of them.
Khali truly put his opponents over and anyone who bested him came out looking extremely strong in the process. A lot of present-day WWE Superstars (John Cena included) owe a chunk of their build, mystique and appeal to having registered victories over the big man.
He might have lumbered around the ring, but Khali was never meant to be an in-ring technician, he was a destructive force of nature and that was the only way of booking him right. Regardless of his lack of in-ring finesse, Khali never legitimately injured anyone in the ring.
Khali’s in-ring experience is immense and matched by very few.
