Khali Made To Look Strong In Home Country...; ...Through Editing.

It's a fabulous new day, yes it is!

In a clever marketing technique WWE are editing the Great Khali's losses and making him look stronger on Indian broadcasts, in order to capitalize on their growing popularity in the country.

Khali is seen as a national treasure and market stalls, shops and other outlets are making a killing selling Khali merchandise. He is a tremendous hit amongst children who imitate his matches at school.

According to once source Indian's still see wrestling as real in most cases, and they have huge pride in Khali's domination in the WWE.

From a business standpoint Khali is a big asset to WWE and practically drives its popularity in India, so no matter how boring he may become to US fans, he won't be let go anytime soon.

With WWE's recent plan to expand in to China it would be interesting to see if they hire any Chinese stars and do a similar thing.

There are currently no reports of this type of thing happening to anyone else but Khali.

:lol: :td:

And I don't see what is wrong with that whatsoever. The U.S. isn't the only fanbase WWE goes for; they're worldwide. So if someplace like India thrives on Khali's appearances, then it would be fair to continue it from that sense, to get more fans from that area.

Yeah, I mean I don't have a problem with it, it's good marketing strategy. He is the Cena of India :lol:

I don't have an issue with it either, but if you look at it from another stand point, they may as well protect guys from Mexico and the UK and Canada. I know what the response will be to my above comments....

Khali is the only Indian wrestler and WWE has a few Canadians, UKers and a few Hispanics. So Khali's an exception to the rule. I know.

I see nothing wrong with trying to improve business in India. The only way I'd see the harm is if their big markets suffered because of it. Judge for yourself whether you think Khali's big push hurt WWE's business in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

How can it? I've heard almost everybody complain about his skills, but never once heard "I'm shutting the TV off because of him." So from that standpoint, he's not hurting anything except people's eyes for 5-10 minutes a week. Honestly, I'd rather watch Khali than Big Daddy V. I still can't get over the size of those things...

I'd rather watch Khali and Big Daddy V instead of Giant Gonzalez and Zeus from past times.

The idea is good however, the way it is done is pretty shitty.

They get their hopes up about Khali in a title match and never see it, then the next night, he is on in a segment without a title.

what the fuck is wrong with India? if they're worshipping a guy like Khali, then i have to question their sanity. what's next? is WWE going to edit programming in Texas, just to make JBL or Mark Henry look better? maybe they should edit programming in Massechuetts (sp?), just to make Cena look better. maybe some editing should be done in Japan. Funaki might be viewed as a hero to somebody.
