MVP Says Great Khali May Have Gave Him a Concussion, Calls Him Worst In-Ring Opponent

MVP didn’t hold back when naming the most painful wrestling finishers he’s ever taken—and The Great Khali topped the list for all the wrong reasons.

Speaking on Marking Out, the former WWE United States Champion described Khali’s infamous chop to the head as a real-life nightmare. There was no performance aspect to it—just straight-up pain. The aftermath wasn’t just soreness—it may have left MVP concussed.

“That chop to the head that he used to give… In our business, we have the term a ‘work.’ There was no work to that big thick acromegaly bone to the head. He would literally drop that big ass 20-pound soup bone on your head. I’m pretty sure that I got at least one minor concussion from one of those.”

He didn’t stop there. MVP also tore into Khali’s two-handed powerbomb, another move he said lacked any real professional control.

“His other finish—the two-handed powerbomb drop. Oh. Oh, brother. I’m like, yo, my man, don’t somebody teach this [guy] to work?”

Despite the criticism, MVP did acknowledge a different side to Khali behind the scenes.

“He’s one of the worst people I’ve ever been in the ring with as a wrestler. But behind the scenes? What a funny guy. I actually enjoyed his company. I used to mess with him all the time. Rib him mercilessly.”

And just to make sure people knew it wasn’t about nationality, MVP gave props to another Indian wrestler.

“Now I know there’s a billion people in India that hate me. But that’s okay—I don’t care. Because I will tell you the modern-day Maharaja, that [guy] is dope. He’s raw. I was very happy to see him become WWE Champion. But The Great Khali? Trash.”

Whether you agree or not, MVP’s honesty cuts deep and leaves no room for misinterpretation. He’s felt the pain—and he’s not pretending otherwise.

Do you think MVP went too far in calling out The Great Khali’s in-ring work, or is he just being brutally honest? Sound off in the comments and let us know what you think.
