On a recent edition of Tony Schiavone’s “What Happened When” podcast, Hornswoggle discussed the in-ring skills, or lack thereof, of The Great Khali. He said,
“Deep down, he knew he wasn’t great, but he knew he was making a ton of money, so he was very happy to be there.”
Hornswoggle also discussed the role of Runjin Singh, who would serve as a manager for Khali on TV. He said,
“He was literally a translator for Khali for his promos, and then he just turned into the mouthpiece on-screen for Khali.”
Khali’s lack of in-ring skills didn’t prevent him from capturing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in 2007. He became a WWE Hall of Famer in 2021.
