The Great khali . Review on The Great Khali

There have been many sucess stories which have not been mainstream in the indian sense.Narian kartikeyan is one of them, as a very small percentage of people actually know what F1 racing really is.Its a gospel fact that he has not set fear in the hearts of Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikonnen but making it to F1 is team is remarkable. There is another such story not in the field of actual sports but in the field of sports entertainment (i.e WWE).No indain newspaper or TV channel has picked up on it but I am sure they will as the indian media is desperate to connect to people with the remotest of connections.This story is a true rags to riches story if ever one was. Dalip Singh Rana born in a remote village in Himachal Pradesh used to work as a road labourer in the himalaya hills till 1993 untill the circumstances of his life began to change.He tried his luck in all sorts of sports and excelled in all but he showed remarkable progress in bodybuilding.The director Genral of the Pujab Police Department took notice of him and helped him join the Police force.The change in employment allowed Singh to further his body building training and he subsequently won titles of Mr. India in 1997-98,he also joined the pro-wrestling circuit in Japan and finally made his way into the wwe. Singh was signed to a contract by WWE and assigned to the Deep South Wrestling developmental territory for training. With Daivari by his side, the un-named Singh debuted on WWE television on the April 7, 2006 episode of SmackDown!, attacking The Undertaker and leaving him out cold during his match with Mark Henry, and thus causing a no-contestThe next week he was introduced as ''The Great Khali''. He made his in-ring debut on the April 21, 2006 edition of SmackDown! defeating Funaki in a squash match.

On the May 5, 2006 edition of SmackDown!, Khali signed a contract to face The Undertaker at WWE Judgment Day on May 21, 2006. Later that night, he interrupted a WWE Cruiserweight Championship No. 1 Contender's Triple Threat Match between Super Crazy, Kid Kash and Nunzio, and attacked all three men, as well as Vito.

On the May 12, 2006 edition of SmackDown!, JBL pitted Khali against Rey Mysterio. Khali had a height advantage of 2 feet and a weight advantage of 250 lb, and gained an easy victory over the World Heavyweight Champion in a squash match.

In his match against The Undertaker at Judgment Day 2006, Khali landed a series of blows, and finally defeated him with a boot to the head. So far, Khali remains undefeated in the WWE.

Whether Dalip Singh, who has been named 'The Great Khali', can actually stay in the big league and become a big star remains to be seen. I have been following WWE off-and-on since I was a kid, and the fact remains that the biggest names in the business are not necessarily those who are big, strong, and great wrestlers. The biggest names are those blessed with the gift of gab. In that regard, Dalip Singh may fall short.

Be that as it may, a poor daily wage labourer reaching the WWE is a remarkable achievement. Here's wishing Dalip all the luck.
