To me, it just looks like they get easily smudged during his matches.

Would be interesting to know how much pain does he have to work through in every day life these days. Probably doesn't have much left in those legs.

Dean Ambrose worked the dark match last night. He didn't get much of a reaction but he told the fans they had 10 seconds to cheer for him because he is the Hardcore legend. He then defeated Alex Riley in 3 minutes.

Yes his upper body is very huge I have seen him in an arena before. Freaky-huge, and his legs must be thinner, obviously.

When Nash was doing the WWE nWo 10 years ago and getting constantly injured, I saw a picture of him rehabbing his legs, they were scary thin. Like sticks... Khali actually looks slightly less muscular in his upper body than couple of years ago, maybe he's being advised to drop some mass there? It's no secret why they keep him on the roster, he's huge in India and WWE is fairly popular there if I've understood correctly. In hyperbole, that's almost a billion potential merchandise buyers.

Yup he is huge there. Even in Canada when Khali won the championship it was in the sports section in some of the indo-canadian newpapers.

Yes I noticed that too he does look smaller, but he is a colossos of a man regardless. Can't be easy walking around everyday as a giant like that - Big Show too. It's funny they have them tag teaming now.

Big Show could have it easier if he dropped his weight to what it was around 10 years ago. Sad fact is both men have a high risk of dying before they hit 50 or 60.

There isn't much Khalil can do but the Big Show is carry a lot of unnecessary weight. He's been obese since he left WCW. He's not built weird like a lot of guys that size.

Both in storyline and in real life. I seriously don't see a purpose for it at this point.
Smackdown attendance sucks. With the 'Super Show' basically ending the brand split, the idea is you could move talent like Cena or Jericho over to Smackdown so that people attend the events while still appearing on TV during Raw every week.

Send Cena, Miz, and Ryder over to Smackdown so the show has more marquee value, then send guys like Christian and Rhodes over to Raw so they get some more exposure.

Apparently they're not even doing a draft this year and if anything, they'll just trade superstars between brands. Miz, Ziggler and Orton are guys that need a 'scenery change' from what I read.

He got the final pin in the GM match at WM and since then I can't even remember if he's even been on RAW.

Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez were traded to Smackdown for "future considerations."

It's amusing that Johnny is trading with himself.

There was a poll about what was better on WWE.com, the 'What?' or the 'Yes!'

Yes won with 59%.

YES! YES! YES!

I'd give it time. What? got so over so quickly, you still hear it today. Yes! has the possibility to get there if the WWE gives it a chance. Problem is, they're not.

It's funny cause they change the name of his finisher to the YES! lock, release a YES! YES! YES! t-shirt and put it out on WWE.com on whether or not 'YES!' can reach the level of 'What?' and even showing Austin's tweet where he says YES! YES! YES! in response to whether or not it can't, and yet, they try to block it out on Smackdown.

Building up for an Austin - Bryan segment? Hmm... Would be an interesting conversation!
