Honestly, ask yourself the question -- if you were going to try and create a worldwide wrestling company, and you could only choose either Roman Reigns or Great Khali. It's not as clear-cut as people are making it seem.

Reigns can go out there and wrestle his ass off all he likes, but he has negative babyface charisma. As a heel, he might fair better and might eventually get cheered and become a damn good professional wrestler, I'm not gonna lie. Reigns as a heel is valuable. That being said, he's got massive stank on him. If you got him without his WWE trademarks and shit, you'd have Joe Anoa'i. Joe Fatu. Someone like that. He'd be nothing but a washed up Samoan who never cut it in the WWE. If you have Dalip Singh, you've got a movie star, a spectacle and a man that the entire subcontinent that is India would be willing to pay tons of money to see. On American television you just give him an epic theme people want to hear and send him out to chop some stooge and you can EASILY get him more over than Braun Strowman. You're not going to get Iron Man Matches out of him, but if you try, then you're an idiot.

You just choose other wrestlers on other days in other picks. Given the TPWW Better Wrestler Hall of Fame, you already have Randy Savage. You don't need a Better Wrestler Roster consisting of "total package" guys. Reigns is pushed as a total package guy, and tries so hard to be that, but he ends up falling short of greatness in each area because of it.

Don't let your WWE markdom and racism prevent you from voting The Great Khali for Better Wrestler. You can select a more well-rounded guy next time.
Unless you're planning to open and operate your wrestling promotion in India none of that amounts to jack. I'm sorry but you're out of your mind if you think Khali would draw in the states in 2017. What's more I doubt the man can even pull off a squash match at this point. I mean last I saw of him he looked in terrible shape. Honestly, how many more years do you think you could squeeze out of the guy? Hell, I'd be surprised if you could get one. I'd take a guy who "might" have a decent shot at being a good heel over a guy who will burn out in a couple years and wouldn't really be worth much during that time anyway.
