It appears that after a lengthy absence from the WWE wrestler the Great Khali has announced his intention of starting an Indian wrestling league with Sangram Singh. Khali's disappearance following Wrestlemania was noted but no one knew why until this week. While there is no real info on the would-be federation Singh and Khali feel there is a wide open market for a promotion there.
Indian wrestlers Great Khali (real name Dalip Singh Rana) and Sangram Singh (real name Sanjeet Kumar) have a mutual business interest in building a wrestling promotion in India (via DNA India):
"Says Sangram, 'Khali and I are seriously looking at an Indian Wrestling League. It's been my long-cherished dream to bring a wrestling league to India. By starting a Wrestling League I hope to provide for wrestling the kind of visible and glamorous platform that the IPL has given to cricket.'
"Sangram and Khali have met up on the issue. According to Sangram, Khali has shown a keen interested in an Indian Wrestling League. 'We are trying to take this idea forward in the best way forward. If cricket can be so glamorous and lucrative, I don't see why wrestling should lag behind.'"
This of course was revealed after an absence from the WWE ring for nearly two months (via Wrestling Inc.):
"Khali hasn't wrestled a match since the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXX but has appeared on NXT in matches that were taped before WrestleMania.
"Khali has been in India for over a month now and while there, he re-registered to be a police officer. Apparently this is something he has to do every few years."
With such a large untapped population it makes sense that someone would want to explore that territory, especially since there is already an established interest in amateur wrestling in India.
