Khali eyes to fulfill his dream of building a pro wrestling academy in India

Former WWE Superstar The Great Khali has long wanted to open a wrestling academy in India. Khali, who was well-known for his wrestling accomplishments, including his reign as World Heavyweight Champion, was extremely popular among Indian fans during his peak years. In an open interview with WWE Now India in 2022, Khali said that his desire has always been to open a wrestling school in India, reinforcing his dedication to developing talent and promoting the growth of professional wrestling in his hometown. As quoted by Sportskeeda, Khali said: 

“It was my dream to start an academy in India. Since I was a wrestler myself, I did not want to be the last wrestler from India to join WWE. I wanted more young wrestlers from India to go to WWE to make India proud. I had a very hard time when I started my journey. Going from India, getting a visa in the US, finding a good academy to get trained. It was a tough path for me. I also did not have much money. So it was my dream from that time. I went to the US in 2000. My dream was to remove all these barriers and perils for the next generation. So I always had in mind that if I could become something credible, I will create a wrestling academy in India to give youngsters a platform to achieve their dreams.”
