5 WWE legends that The Great Khali has defeated

#2 Ric Flair

The Nature Boy has earned the title "G.O.A.T." according to many fans.

When it comes to living legends, or legends in general, they don't get much bigger than The Nature Boy Ric Flair; and in 2007, The Great Khali crossed paths with ol' Naitch.

At the time, Flair and Khali were representing Team Blue on the Smackdown roster. In fact, earlier in the year, The Great Khali was the number one overall pick from RAW over to the Smackdown roster. This was undoubtedly Khali's strongest period as a WWE Superstar. His massive presence was being used appropriately and effectively, as he was destroying everything that wasn't bolted to the ground.

During the August 10, 2007, episode of WWE Smackdown, The Great Khali took on WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair in a match that he dominated and won. The Khali Vice-Grip claw-hold was way too much for Flair to overcome. At the conclusion of the match, Batista attempted to come to Flair's rescue, only to be handled by Khali in a similar fashion and also received one of Khali's giant double-handed claw-holds as well.
