Kirimakki

Ok, before I start, I want to say that I was never a big fan of WWF or WWE. Yes, as a kid I had my days of playing those superstar’s cards where we would pit the statistics of a wrestler against the other to win the entire pack from our opponents, but that was it. I haven’t watched a match for ages now and I have no clue what’s happening in there.


But this guy, “The Great Khali” as WWE christened him, made me think as to whether India is the biggest market for wrestling audience so much so that Indian Wrestlers are making an impact on two federations.


Can you believe this man! He stands 7 feet 2 inches tall and weighs a whooping 191 kilos.



Dalip Singh Rana, his original name, hails from Punjab and is a former constable.

He moved to the US in 1999 where he became big in the local wrestling scene from where he moved to Japan to compete in the wrestling tournaments.

This guy also acted in a movie where he played the role of a maniac with limitless energy.



He’s been in WWE only for a couple of months now but has apparently taken smackdown, an event in WWE by storm.

He’s said to have defeated The Undertaker, someone I remember from my childhood for his rituals – and am honestly surprised he still around, twice already and is tipped to be the next champion.



I guess after Sonjay Dutt, whose mannerisms I have seen in the ads of TNA wrestling, The Great Khali is the second Indian in professional Entertainment Wrestling.


Just look at this guy man, what a build. Cha…



Hoping that he learns English real soon and kicks some ass real bad.

    OMG! I used to watch it when it was WWF…and Undertaker was my favourite he always had the best bikes and Stone Cold came a close second..In fact me and my lil brother used to wrestle and practice moves. Ahh the delight of broken legs….but this guy looks to be a monster…I used to watch it every week till I figured out it was all set-up…Kinda lost steam after that…

    Man, that guy looks genetically engineered. His body parameters are not human!

    Ah those days. Summer comes, eat lunch, go to the galli, start cards, win, lose, fight, yanjay! Cant forget those days when WWF tapes used to be played on cable TV. Man, those Tatanka vs. Bam Bam Bigelow matches. What entertainment. But well, it’s a bloody fake and these days, it has become very ugly.

    @Advitiya: I guess that’s the same for most of us. We believed it was all true but then when u know for sure that everything in WWF is fake, u kinda loose interest.

    @Praty: U bro is one WWE champ. No wonder u ve bruises all over!

    @Atlantean: I loved British Bull Dog and Hit man. And remember Papa Shango. Those were stars man…

    @Aftab: U still watch the matches kadaa… i know u do when everyone around u sleeps…

    @Vigbert: Tamariki idi kudaa undaa.. wokay!
