lol, if a year ago...

...I had said that come Wrestlemania 23, Kurt Angle would be a joke that the smarks picked on while the Great Khali would become a cult smark favorite (in some weird perverse way), people would have called me crazy.

Now look at things. :lol:

Kurt Angle is still the man and Khali is still awful.

[TheProfessional]

The Great Khali puts the fans in the stands. No doubt about that.

However, Kurt Angle could carry Khali to a ****** star classic that would draw about an eleventy billion ppv buyrate.

WITH A BROKEN FREAKIN' NECK!

BROOKLYN! BROOKLYN!

[Rammsteinmad]

If anyone can carry Angle to a good match, it's Khali.

*Lock Jaw decides to be a wise ass*

A year ago I would have said "Who the hell is The Great Khali?" as he wouldn't have debuted yet.

[Corkscrewed]

I meant a dog year. :shifty:

What if....?

We were all expecting Dalip Singh to debut for quite a while around this time last year. When Armando Allejandro Estrada made his debut on Raw the night after WrestleMania and talked about introducing a monster, I can't have been the only one expecting Singh (aka Khali)... and I know I wasn't the only one who pissed himself when Jamal showed up instead, looking like a cross between Haku and Kimo.

However, there's no disputing that Umaga has had the more impressive year. So I ask you.... what if it HAD been Khali who came out that night on Raw, with Estrada? And what if Umaga had drawn Daivari as his manager instead?

Do you think things would have been hugely different? I strongly believe Estrada played a vital role in getting "Uuuuuuuuumagaaaaa" over. Would "The Grrrrrrrrrreat Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaliiiiiiiiiiiiii" have had the same ring to it? And would Umaga have received a near year long unbeaten streak over on SmackDown?

[NeanderCarl]

Also, why the hell won't they let Estrada talk anymore?

[Xero]

He's too over.

Other way around.

I bet Benoit/Khali would be decent. Benoit seems to have the ability to carry other wrestlers through matches.

Benoit could carry a grand piano to a decent match.
