The Great Khali

In a recent interview, former World Heavyweight Champion The Great Khali spoke about his absence from WWE and a possible return. He even talked about what he has been up to with his time away from the industry.

According to reports, the Khali was headed back to WWE and left for the U.S. earlier this week. During the interview, Khali discussed leaving WWE.

“It's not that I had no offers from the WWE,” Khali said. “I had voluntarily taken this break as I needed some time to establish the institute in Jalandhar. Now that the things are on track I decided to get back to the ring.

“I will be back soon with some more friends from US who will help me on my project to prepare WWE wrestling in India. We have trainees from all across the country. Also, there are four girls apart from 30 boys who are being trained there. I wanted that girls get equal opportunity and so we have provided space for girls as well.”

Khali also said that while he has been getting movie offers in India, he would “like to continue with the WWE for now.”

The 7-feet-1-inch tall wrestler revealed the idea behind opening of the wrestling institution in India. He admitted that he struggled to get into the industry and does not want others to go through the same fate.

He said, “The idea came from my own journey and struggle. I had to go abroad and get training as facilities of that standard is not available in our country. This was always in my mind that I should do something for the youngsters of my country who want to proceed in this field but are not privileged enough to go abroad and get trained.”

India’s first WWE World Heavyweight Champion had a word of advice for aspiring youngsters.

“Honesty, hard labour and dedication are the words for them. Also respect your parents, coaches and always have confidence in yourself. Never lose hope under adverse situations,” he concluded.
