#2. The Great Khali - High expectations from WWE because of his size?
The Great Khali's WWE career lasted around eight years. While that's a relatively long tenure by WWE standards, his big push only came between 2006-2008. When Khali debuted in the company, he instantly took out The Undertaker.

The Indian giant was billed at 7'1" and was legitimately the biggest superstar on the roster at the time. Given his size, it was no surprise that Vince McMahon wanted to push him. Even back then, WWE looked to expand to the Indian market. But the reality was that WWE's revenue in India came from their broadcasting deal and not merchandise sales and live tours.

The biggest problem that The Great Khali had was that he simply couldn't move very well. He wasn't athletic or technical, but that didn't seem to matter as he squashed The Undertaker with ease upon his debut.
A year after Khali's SmackDown debut, he moved to RAW and was instantly in the mix with WWE Champion John Cena. While he wasn't successful, he maintained a top-tier status during that run. His run on the Red brand lasted for a short while before he moved back to SmackDown as the No. 1 draft pick.
In July 2007, The Great Khali won a battle royal to claim his sole World Championship in WWE. To date, many have questioned and criticized the company's decision to put the World title on a wrestler who was described as "green".
Ultimately, his run cooled off and he transitioned into a comedic role. But WWE seemed to have had very high expectations from The Great Khali at first.
