When Cody Rhodes got his neck tattoo in 2020, many fans mocked the second-generation star online. Yet he would successfully incorporate it into his character, and it’s become a key part of his brand. And now, demonstrating that Rhodes was actually a trendsetter, WWE Hall of Famer The Great Khali has followed his lead by getting a big tiger inked in the same location. This was apparently done earlier in the week by New Delhi tattoo artist Karen, and a look through his Instagram shows the former WWE star also got a sleeve.
51-year-old Khali gave up life as a police officer in India to become a pro wrestler and first became known to fans in 2001 when New Japan partnered him with Giant Silva as a tag team. Subsequently, he landed a role in the Adam Sandler movie The Longest Yard, which brought him to the attention of the world, and he signed with WWE in 2006. His career highlight then came during the July 20, 2007, edition of SmackDown when he won a twenty-man battle royal for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship, securing his place forever in WWE history.
