As weird as it sounds, Vince McMahon has proven time and time again that he has an obsession with giant wrestlers. From King Kong Bundy to Andre the Giant to Vader to the Big Show to the Undertaker to the Great Khali, Vince has always had at least one giant on his active roster.

The introduction of giants to the main event scene showed wrestling fans a great deal about Vince McMahon's vision for the product. However, out of all those giants, the Great Khali is arguably the worst of them all.

The 7-footer can barely wobble around the ring let alone execute a quality wrestling match. The boss employed him in the past just to be a special attraction, a marketing ploy that didn't reap rewards.

His presence reminds fans that they're not watching a wrestling show, but a drama series with unique characters. Wrestling fans can smell a bogus act a mile away and when there’s no substance to accompany the initial attraction, they hate it.
