The Great Khali recently spoke to The Daily Pioneer about his pro wrestling career and more. You can check out the interview here and read some highlights below.
Working for WCW:
“After six months there, I signed a contract with World Championship Wrestling (WCW). There I continued to learn the trade and to fight but then Vince McMahon, chairman of WWE, bought the company. It left me disappointed because only in 7-8 months that I was there, the company was bought. I was not sure how things would transpire now and what would happen to my career.”
Metting Vince McMahon:
“I signed the contract in 2005. McMahon sent a limousine to get me from the premier of The Longest Yard in New York and he wanted to see me in person. Normally he doesn’t do that but in my case he made an exception. He asked if I wanted to work with WWE and I gladly said yes.”
Running his own school:
“I worked with the WWE for 9-10 years and now I’m back in India with my own training school Continental Wrestling Entertainment (CWE). It is a great opportunity for young athletes to learn and shine. Such a stage didn’t exist earlier and we’ve got a few coaches from the US too,”
