Preview:Finlay vs. The Great Khali
Last month at Survivor Series, The Great Khali battled a fighting Irishman (well, maybe more accurately half a fighting Irishman) in Hornswoggle in the greatest mismatch of all time. But this month, the Punjabi Nightmare will take on someone closer to his own size and 100 times tougher in the man who’s never met a fight he didn’t love – Finlay.
The trouble between these two SmackDown Superstars started when a shillelagh-wielding Finlay surprised Mr. McMahon – and all of WWE – when he interjected himself in Hornswoggle’s match with Khali and saved the 4-foot-4 leprechaun from a 7-foot-3, 420-pound demolition. The Chairman had wanted his illegitimate son to experience some “tough love,” but Finlay kept saving his former associate from tough spots. First, it was against Khali and then in a No Disqualification Match with Carlito on Raw.
It’s not really clear how the Chairman feels about Finlay protecting Hornswoggle or why he has set up the match between him and Khali. Has he been trying to destroy Hornswoggle? If so, is he teaching Finlay a lesson for meddling in his affairs? But one thing may be certain: The tough as nails Irishman may not appreciate this "surprise" from the Chairman, even though he loves to fight. And even though he is a giant and relishes a chance to get his vise-like hands on Finlay, The Great Khali may not appreciate the Irishman either, especially if he has his shillelagh.
