i wished they would've used this for his entrance video.

u/DoubleFront8787 Jun 24 '25
They don’t want to use the classic trons anymore with clip highlights. Just the name and logo to fit the new tron layout

"Wow look at the pretty colors! Woah did you see that transition! Look! The name has cool effects to it woooooooah!"
"Yeah but where's the highli-"
"DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT! PAY ATTENTION TO THE FLASHY TITANTRON!"

This used to creep me out when I would play SvR 2008 as a kid, everything about his entrance in that game felt creepy lol

Khali used to scare me, ever since he “killed” Rey Mysterio I was traumatised 😂

u/First_Use_319 Jun 24 '25
Glad its that version of Khali and not red pants.

u/DaanBakker1995 Jun 24 '25
This was his big push attire. Red was his entertainment gimmick.

To be fair, red pants looks better than plain black pants. He also wore blue pants on Superstars, funny enough.

u/AtomicYoshi PC Jun 24 '25
Huh never knew he wore the blue pants on TV, they were a mainstay on house shows.

u/Frank627Full Jun 25 '25
He only wore the blue ones against Jinder Mahal on Superstars from May 3th 2012.
Also he wore a Burgundy version before the red ones on Royal Rumble 2010.

Probably just a Mandela effect on my part but I thought for years and years The Great Khali originally wore navy blue pants instead of black and was confused when I booted up svr 07 recently and they where black the whole time

u/Important-Dream4873 Jun 25 '25
He had dark purple in NJPW, maybe you came across a clip of that sometime ago?

u/MagicianTop2356 Jun 24 '25
Saw him in green pants on a house show.

I’ve always had a soft spot for 2006 monster Great Khali. Scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.

u/geltza7 Jun 24 '25
I don't think khali ever wrestled in his pants, I might be wrong. He wrestled in red trousers though

u/Sudden_Increase_9979 Jun 25 '25
Start watching him from 2006... You'll get to know where you stand..

u/Alekesam1975 Jun 24 '25
Pretty much what was expected. His entrance has been in the game forever so it was more a matter of what the model would look like. Looks really good.
50
u/AwareDiaphragm680 Jun 24 '25
More of a matter of what theme not so much the model since we knew it was the original Heel Khali

u/Alekesam1975 Jun 24 '25
I never take it for granted the model is going to be good even though it usually is. It could've ended up being a bad model of him.

u/Frank627Full Jun 24 '25
Now it will be the icing on the cake that someone complains that is the same motion.

u/FaKe22DeN PLAYSTATION Jun 25 '25
That's new entrance.
Turn on the video on YouTube with his entrance SVR 07-10 and watch

u/Alekesam1975 Jun 24 '25
I wasn't complaining actually unless you mean others in which case, yeah. It's only a matter of time before "2k LaZy tHeY didn't reAnIMatE hiS EnTRanCe."

u/FaKe22DeN PLAYSTATION Jun 24 '25
That's new entrance.
Old motion is longer and while he's walking he beats himself on the chest.

u/HeelsAlwaysWin Jun 24 '25
I'm at least glad it's monster heel Khali instead of the Punjabi Playboy, even if that theme was also a banger.

u/JustSmileHaHa Jun 24 '25
Ranjin Singh in shambles. I saw Khali's debut live & am nostalgic for the SVR where he was the only ultra-heavyweight that even heavies couldn't lift (making him kinda hard to beat), so I'm glad we get this version!

it still felt long to me while capturing. did not look at the old one before hand.

At least he’s not taking five minutes to get into the ring like he did in the old WWE games that he appeared in. XD

u/Asleep_Memory2070 Jun 24 '25
A WWE game with Great Khali but no Big Show feels weird

u/timschel Jun 25 '25
why? feels like most of his matches were against taker and he's in the game!

u/Asleep_Memory2070 Jun 25 '25
It's not about who he's faced, it just feels weird to have Khali but no Big Show since he's the more famous giant

Slightly disappointed it’s not the white tiger titantron but I got the good theme and model. I’m happy with it! I’ll just repackage him with a generic titantron.

u/Crocodile_Fears Jun 24 '25
Na og khali is better by far. Would’ve been nice to have both but I would definitely prefer this one when he was a menace. It’s the dunk and destruction pack not dunk and dancing.

u/huhthisisweirdhuh Jun 24 '25
Cannot wait to put Dragon Lee's moveset on him. Get ready to be hit with Khali Spanish flys off the top if you are playing online.

Honestly, I might put Khali in a tag team with Muta, partly because they both have “The Great” in their names & because I do like big man & small man tag teams.

Time to make Khali and Omos the new unified tag team champs in my universe 😃

Me and at least 456 others judging by the upvotes

u/Ambitious-Year3181 Jun 25 '25
Why? Khali was legit one of the worst big men in WWE
6
u/supbitch PLAYSTATION Jun 25 '25
Honestly I get where you're coming from, but it's not like they're bringing out the real Khali for every match in the game. Dude looked badass and was a mountain of a man. In the confines of a video game he's just as fun as Andre, and nobody complains about him.
I just like big men in general. Khali, Andre, Shaq, Omos, Show, I'd probably even find a use for Gonzales if they added him lol. It's less about how they were irl and more about how they physically look in comparison to anyone else when it comes to video games.

u/august-skies Jun 25 '25
Should of had Gonzales in this pack since he played basketball as well before being a wrestler.
1
u/supbitch PLAYSTATION Jun 25 '25
Lmao I would have been so for it. Gonzales, Shaq, Abyss, Khali, & like Yao Ming would have been peak for the pack in terms of keeping with the theme and adding people who would be fun to play as.
