India Embraces The Great Khali
WWE may despise him, but The Great Khali has an enormous fan base in his native country of India.
In fact, no less a source than The Washington Post covered this wrestler's recent home coming. Here are excerpts from the newspaper's article on the event:
After two hours of swaying to thumping Bollywood neo-folk music and listening to stock stage jokes, the fans grew impatient and began chanting for the star of the evening to show up. "We want Khali! We want Khali!"
And when the Goliath-size professional wrestler of that name appeared on stage in a blue cotton shirt, jeans and ponytail, thousands of hands thrust cellphone cameras into the air to capture the image.
"Khali, we love you," screamed men and women alike. "The Khali bomb!" yelled a male voice. Little boys tried to climb over barricades to get closer to the stage, on a college campus.
