I remember someone posting a while ago from India saying they didn't give a toss about Khali.

Because one poster from India on this board is equal to their 1.2 billion strong population.

Vince doesn't make Khali wrestle because he is indian and therefore popular with the indian demographic, Vince makes Khali wrestle because Khali was HUGE with the indian population BEFORE he came to the WWE, he was signed to get the indian viewership to tune in because they are the second most populated country in the world. They attempted to replace him with Jinder Mahal but it failed horribly so Khali ended up coming back.

It's like Mysterio being pushed for so long solely because he was popular with the hispanic demographic, it's the position ADR will be in for awhile as well. Every country needs their hero.

Vince is a good man, he knows everyone needs piss breaks, or a few minutes to get/make a snack.

You don't 'make' a 7+ feet tall, 400-pound man do anything he doesn't want to.

vince always loved his huge wrestlers

Khali was well known in India when he was just a police officer, due to his gargantuan height. He is very much an A-list celebrity in India, One of the largest populations on the planet as well as one of the fastest growing Economies.

Having an Indian star like Khali is only good for the show. Breaking the WWE into India and China is clearly a massive goal for Vince, and any performer who can help with this is going to get tv time.

I'm fine with it.

after a terrible Kahli match we cut to Vince Backstage....

As has been stated, Khali is still around because of his status in India. They tried to build Jinder Mahal up but no one gave a crap about him (hence why he is in the jobber group now), so they had to get Khali back and probably wont go anywhere until they can find a guy to represent India that people actually care about.

To be honest, Khali doesn't bother me anymore. It is not like he is getting a monster push like he once did.

Given the dominance of WWE this has become the accepted norm in North American pro wrestling.

Steroid using. lol. You don't have to be using steroids to look like that. Both guys are totally different anyway. Ryback actually has some wrestling talent (muscled up or not) while Khali only has his height going for him.

In all honesty, it was more of character build, but I thought heel Khali>face Ryback tbh. Both are horrible though.
