Just last week WWE announced two huge arrivals at the PC – a pair of seven-foot giants trained by none other than the Great Khali.
Former world champion Khali, real name Dalip Singh Rana, shot to stardom in the world's largest wrestling company following his arrival in 2006.
He was the fourth tallest man to ever compete on the WWE main roster and is now helping to bring through the next generation of talents.
A report on their website read: "At 7 feet tall, 310-pound Gurvinder Singh of Jagadhri is an experienced cricketer and actor that trained for the squared circle under another giant of the ring, The Great Khali.
"Sukhwinder Grewal is another titanic trainee of Khali, standing 7-foot-2 and tipping the scales at 340 lbs. The 24-year-old played basketball before setting his sights on the ring."
