Former WWE star The Great Khali recently did an interview with The Indian Express, and below are some highlights:
On working with John Cena and Vince McMahon’s reaction:
“A good match is about the chemistry between opponents. I loved working with Cena. He was always receptive to my ideas, even if they weren’t good. Because he was ready to try things, we delivered a great match. When we got backstage, McMahon hugged me and said I had put on a great show.”
On receiving painkillers from Randy Orton:
“The pills were so strong that I couldn’t feel my legs. My foot kept slipping and I fell.”
On not running his wrestling school, which is losing money:
“But I want to. I still want to keep some connection with this industry. This was something I was born to do. I was always meant to be Khali. I dream of wrestling all the time. And then I get up and I realise that I am not wrestling anymore. But I still keep my pants with me — both in India and in Houston. You never know.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
