Former WWE Superstar Fandango recently discussed how The Great Khali cost him a title run in the company back when he was on the main roster.
Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight podcast, Fandango noted how he got concussed during a match with Khali just before he was going to get an Intercontinental Championship run.
‘So they were going to put the Intercontinental Title on me, but I got concussed working The Great Khali. I think it got to a week or 2 before and I didn’t tell them that I was concussed” Fandango began.
“I worked Khali a couple of weeks before the pay-per-view, then I worked the week before I think. If you get concussed and you get hit again, it’s easier to get concussed again” Fandango continued.
“I was concussed and I kept performing, but I didn’t tell anybody. I took a shoulder tackle from Zack Ryder and I was out. When I got back, I thought I had just wrestled The Great Khali, it goes back to where you originally got f*cked up’ ‘Dango noted.
‘Then I said it, stooged myself off, and to the company’s protocol, I was wrong. But if they put the IC title on you, you don’t want to say. But they took me off for 3 to 4 weeks, and Curtis Axel won the title instead” the former WWE Superstar concluded.
