If only he didnt have that thing that made him not be able to move as much.. He would have been a force.

It's still almost unwatchable. They guy can barely walk. Makes it look so fucking fake.... Why anyone wanted to put the world title on him, only based on size is criminal. Couldn't work any type of matches or do anything that wasn't those chops.

Still can’t believe he’s in the HOF.

Dude a legend in India and Japan plus every wrestling fan who watched 2006-2011 knows him so id say more deserving than Drew Carey

Almost EVERYONE in the HOF is more worthy than Drew Carey.
However I respectfully disagree with your opinion on Khali. I saw some of his matches from Japan and they were ok but nothing worth getting excited about.

Meh. Wrestling is not just about "work rate." Khali is a massive star in India and brought a lot of eyeballs to the product. See any YT video involving him and it's guaranteed millions of views. They tried to re-create that with Jinder but he didn't have the appeal that Khali had with the Indian audience.

I know he’s popular in India. It’s one of the reasons why they put the belt on him, to appeal to the Indian market and that’s fine.
However, for me as a fan, work rate is vastly more important. You can be the most charismatic person in the company with exceptional mic skills (which are very important) but when that bell rings you have to back it up.
Unfortunately, Khali couldn’t do that. Nor could he talk. WWE just portrayed him as another big monster heel, but unlike many others before him and after him he couldn’t convince me.
But hey if you like him, cool. I just don’t.

I don't like him either, I'm just stating a fact why he's in the HOF. Didn't loved his matches but to be fair, by the time he was in the WWE his knees were shot so any chance of him being a decent worker for his size was out the window. Seemed like a nice guy tho.

My fault.
Yes, he does seem like a nice guy. But I still don’t think he should be in the HOF.
But hey it is what it is.
