[edit] Brian Ong's death

This article makes it appear as if Brian Ong was mainly responsible for his own death, according to the documentation of this case, All Pro Wrestling is mainly to blame. Here are some important facts from the case:

Mr. Ong suffered a concussion during a practice session and instead of being advised to seek medical attention and take time off from his training to fully recover, he was given a lower evaluation for not avoiding injuries and was told to continue practicing and performing.

All Pro Wrestling did not provide Mr. Ong with any protective gear or any supervision by APW staff, and the floor mats provided were not adequate to cushion the impact of such maneuvers.

Here is the link to the article (second article on page): http://www.hershlaw.com/caseinv/ci_oth_cp.html

{{Editprotected}}. This page has been protected until April 3. Until the protection expires, it would be inappropriate to make edits like this. After the protection expires you can make the edits yourself. You should contact User:Yamla, who placed the protection, if you wish to ask for it to be removed earlier. CMummert · talk 23:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

We would need a reliable and neutral source for this information. The actual verdict would probably provide that. The source provided above is obviously going to be very one-sided. However, if a reasonable consensus can be achieved with editors of this page, I am quite happy to make a protected edit before the protection expires. Additionally, I have reason to believe Verdict (talk • contribs) has been prohibited from any further vandalism and so would consider lifting the protection early. The problem here, though, is that this user regularly lies and so there's no good reason to believe the vandalism has stopped. --Yamla 00:02, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't see how the above source appears to be unreliable and very one-sided if you've read it. The article is written by a law firm that covers certain cases, and if you took the time to read it, you would see that the very first sentence of the article gave the verdict:

Hayward, CA - The San Francisco Law Firm of Hersh & Hersh announced that an Alameda County Superior Court jury quickly reached a unanimous verdict earlier this week in the case against the owner of All Pro Wrestling ("APW") of Hayward, California, finding the wrestling school liable for reckless behavior.

[edit] Where Has Khalis photo gone?

Please have his at least one photo at the page

[edit] Khali's Last name is Rana

In this article they refer to Khali as Dalip Singh Rana. http://www.teluguportal.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=13581 Cashisclay 08:34, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Khali's photos

Hello!I would request the editors this page to have some more photos of khali.Since now he is a big superstar,it doesnt look good to just have only one photo of him.So,plz if you have good photos of him,plz upload it & paste it on yhemain page of khali.

Awesome new pic of Khali. The guy is huge.

I would love to see more of his bodybuilding photos. I heard that the guy has won Mr. India! There must be some pictures of him ripped to threads at 380 lbs or so. :)

[edit] Archive

I just archived the page for obvious reasons. I left the only active and productive conversation alone. I recommend having this talk page protected. -- The Hyb rid 09:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page Protection a good idea.

This page has been heavily vandalized. Someone even moved the page. I think this page should be protected. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Showster (talk • contribs) 23:46, 18 January 2007 (UTC).

I don't think it is too badly vandalized and if a few editors keep an eye on it then it will be fine. --Justanother 16:35, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Move

I've been wondering if maybe soon we should consider moving this page to the Great Khali. He's starting to get more well-known, and that's generally what Wikipedia does with some wrestlers after a period of time. ---Seabiscuit_1982 19:02, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Khali's Nationalism

The Great Khali usually speaks Hindi In WWE.Oh! Ya thats a good thing! He is promoting India & Indianism.Hat's Off Khali. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SunnyIndia (talk • contribs) 09:48, 25 January 2007 (UTC).

Are you being sarcastic? And has he really been speaking Hindi/Punjabi or is he just attempting to speak English from a cue card or something? I mean I am Indian but I am not at all up on my Hindi and only know a little bit of Punjabi but when he was talking to Todd Grisham it seems like he was speaking poor English, I could be wrong though. And I'm not saying this to be derogatory towards him, I am actually wondering why the WWE gave him a speaking role knowing full well he cannot speak English all that well. Seems like an insulting move by them to try for a humorous angle with his speech difficulties for wrestling's less "rounded"/"accepting" fans. Raj O Mac 11:32, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Protect not working

The Semi-Protection on this page is not functioning.

An admin has to apply protection (or semi-protection), you can request it at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Just putting a template on a page has no effect.--Commander Keane 01:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Correction

The Great Khali is not the Intercontinental Champion. Jeff Hardy retained his championship on RAW. Khali did win the match however, but only by count-out, in which the belt does not change hands. -Divided_sum January 29, 2007

[edit] Khali's

Khali has also worked for the milk brand in Punjab "dudh piyo verka"

Hi. Can you provide any link to back that up? Even to a milk ad in non-English language would be better than nothing. See WP:CITE. Thanks --Justanother 13:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Why has an alleged description of his family's genitalia been allowed to remain in the article? Needless to say, it has been deleted. For anyone who feels that it is necessary, and I can't believe anyone would, please show a reference of some sort to substaniate the claim. Lincoln187 11:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

"- When asked about the size of his family members, Singh said that all other members of his family, including his parents and siblings, are of normal height."

I don't see anything about genitalia in what he removed. The size of his family members. Like are ther other really tall people in his family

[edit] Khali moving around

What is the deal with this guy? First he is on Smackdown, the ECW, then he goes to raw. Why has he been moved around so much? Big Boss 0 14:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Khali's been moved around because they can't use him in a decent storyline so they throw him from brand to bran, fighting the big guys. He's just a bad gimmick, really. But the discussion doesn't really belong here, though. Slayer425 17:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gigantism?

I read on www.khali.info that he did'nt have any sort of gigantism, but in the bottom of Khali's wikipedia, thers a link called people with gigantism. When you click on the link, it shows you a list of people with gigantism and the name Dalip Singh is listed. Should it be removed? Emilos 06:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)emilos

the page of the great khali is not updated time to time. plzz see on this matter. after all he is the pride of india

[edit] ARTICLE UPDATE

I AM SORRY TO SAY THAT THE ARTICLE OF THE GREAT KHALI IS NOT UPDATED TIME TO TIME.PLZZ SEE ON THIS MATTER AS UR DUTY IS TO UPDATE THOSE ATICLES —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Absurdoriginal (talk • contribs) 07:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC).

Week by week events are not added to wrestling articles. This is not a dedicated wrestling website. This is an encyclopedia. Only the most notable events in his career are added here. If you want a week by week synopsis of his career I suggest you find a fansite on The Great Khali. Bmg916 ^{Speak to Me} 17:43, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Um, i think being at wrestlemania is an important part of his career dont you t hink so why isnt that added

The page is protected from anyone to edit except administrators due to vandalism and no one really thought about making an edit request because they are more important things to be done right now than adding one sentence to this article. Bmg916^Speak_Sign 11:58, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
