With the Khali fighting a frenzy gripped whole of Jalandhar. T-shirts with pictures of WWE wrestlers have been selling in the past also but this time there is more demand for the T-shirts carrying photos of Khali. Media has also played a big part in popularising the fight.
Jalandharies not only idetify him as a indian but because he is a Jalandhari and brought proud to this city.Khali, who originally hailed from a village in Sirmaur district of Himachal Pradesh, but he lived and worked here with the Punjab police before moving to the US to pursue a WWE career. He can be seen sometimes roaming around Jalandhar.
Khali was handpicked in the mid-1990s by the then additional director general of police (ADGP) M.S. Bhullar, himself a great sports enthusiast, to be a wrestler with the Punjab Armed Police (PAP) at its complex here. Even though Dalip Singh continues to be on the rolls of the Punjab Police, he mostly lives in the US and is now one of the big names in the WWE circuit.
Two years ago, the Punjab Police placed Khali under suspension as he failed to return and join the force after the expiry of his sanctioned leave. Later, he was given exemption and allowed to pursue WWE in the US.
But this frenzy also reminds us of the fact why is WWE so popular even though it is fake. Some people think it is plain cheating while other argue same is true of any movie or tv sertials. All of them are fake . But this is just another form of entertainment. While people knoe mvoies and TV are fake but not all the people know that this form of wrestling is totally fake. It is playing with people's emotions. No denying the fact that it is funny,dramatic,cruel,sensitive in all total entertainment.
Please share your viewpoint.
