#5 He deserves a proper send-off
Trending
Whether you like him or not, you cannot deny that The Great Khali is a legend of the professional wrestling business and will always be one.
One of the most physically impressive Superstars to have ever walked down the ramp into the squared circle, Khali has had a long, storied pro wrestling career despite his physical issues and his lack of proficiency in the ring.
Khali was a true company man for the WWE, having never switched promotions and doing exactly what he was told throughout his time with the company.
After his monster heel push was over, he was put in ludicrous gimmick after ludicrous gimmick and terrible storyline after terrible storyline, but the man kept his head down and worked right through all of it, with as much conviction as he possibly could.
Khali has served the WWE and has given the WWE Universe everything that he had. The man has had injuries, surgeries, life-threatening procedures and yet always came back to be there for the company and the fans that he loved working for.
He went on tours, performed at hundreds of live events, drew crowds wherever he went and was a workhorse through all of it. The Great Khali was there for the WWE whenever they needed him and he did whatever he could, the best he could, without any complaints or tantrums of any kind.
By all accounts, Khali was also incredibly loved backstage during his time with the WWE and got along with all his fellow wrestlers.
However, despite everything he did for the company, the WWE released Khali in 2014 after his contract ran out with little fanfare. Khali quietly left, started his own wrestling school in India and has led a relatively quiet life since.
A beacon of professionalism, the big man has always had good things to say about his former employer, despite never quite getting his dues. Khali has never once bad-mouthed the WWE or the way he was booked, on the contrary, he has always been thankful instead.
In conclusion, Khali needs to return, not because he’s an impressive physical specimen or for some other juvenile reason.
He needs to return to the WWE so he could have a proper send-off, one that would serve as a fitting tribute to the fabled career that the Punjabi Giant has had and for all his contributions to the WWE and the wrestling business as a whole.
We hope that Khali returns, gets one last run in the WWE and retires with a Hall of Fame induction because if there’s one man that truly deserves it, it’s him.
