Kileer Khalsa Interview (by Rajiv Ramdeo)

If you've seen Bollywood Hollywood yet, you might've witnessed the Killer make his special guest appearance in the popular film. His presence is commanding, his personality endearing (really), and his talent - huge! Raj caught up with Killer Khalsa and escaped with a few minor cuts and scratches.

Rajiv Ramdeo: How's it going man?

Killer Khalsa Singh: Going good. Been very busy with wrestling and acting.

RR: How long have you been a wrestler?

KKS: I've been wrestling 4 years now. My good friend Tiger Ali Singh, (friend of the family) got into wrestling with WWF (now WWE). I was excited; I always wanted to be an entertainer, so when he came to Chicago to do a show at the All-State Arena, I went to go see him. Back stage I met everyone there and I really enjoyed what they did and how they entertained. I told Tiger I wanted to do this, but he said "no man you don't know the ropes." So after he left I started to look for wrestling schools and found one here in Chicago called WCPW (Windy City Pro Wrestling) run by Sam DeCero from the Max Brothers. There I was trained by The Iron Sheik and Steve Boz and it all started from there...

RR: Dam, The Iron Sheik? He is a true wrestling legend. But you know I have to ask, most Indian mothers want their sons to be doctors and engineers and so on. How did your family react when you said I am going to be a wrestler?

KKS: At first they were excited. Then when I got injured (broken rib) they all got worried and asked if it was worth it. But my wife puts up with it and supported me all along. Monica is the best thing that ever happened to me. After I met her my career just took off. She helps me all the time.

RR: I'm a wrestling fan, been one basically all my life. It's no secret that professional wrestlers are athletes, and put their bodies through serious exercising and dieting routines. How do you keep in shape?

KKS: Well my wife should get the credit for that; she makes the best high protein food, and I eat lots of Protein. I train very hard, with two and half hours in the gym, and three hours in the ring, four days a week, every week. It's tough but when you have the drive, you want to do more and more.

RR: Now here is a bit of a controverisal topic, your wrestling gimmick. Whats behind the wrestler, "Killer Khalsa Singh"?

KKS: Well I'm Indian as you can see (laughs)... Well my gimmick was very hard to decide, but my brother-in-law (Amit Bhatia) thought of this. First of all I'm a Sikh, I'm big and I'm Indian so I wanted to mix all that up and then bring up the Indian FLAG to top, so I called my self "Killer Khalsa Singh." Killer being tough and Khalsa meaning pure, true and freedom. So it all came together as a Freedom Fighter.

RR: I hear that some people don't take to the name very well...

KKS: Well, I have lots of bad comments to why I call my self Khalsa and not have the Khalsa Flag. I believe that we are all Indians, so why not have the Indian flag? There is no Khalistan on the Map so why should I?

RR: OK, I have a wrestling fan question & I know you're going to enjoy this one. What was your most memorable match?

KKS: Ohhhhh well, it was with "Iron Mike Sampson," a very big guy whose been in the business for over 10 years. I was to go against him for the WWA (World Wrestling Association) title. It was a good match but I came out on top to became the first Indian in wrestling to be a World Champ... it's on my site.

RR: So that is the title your holding in the picture, cool. You mentioned to me before you were going on tour to India soon with the likes of X-Pac & King Kong Bundy. Any cities confirmed for that tour.

KKS: Yes we are putting together a tour for India where we will start in Bombay than New Delhi, Punjab and Etc. So far it's a green light but still in the works.

RR: You mentioned a few minutes ago about getting injured, a broken rib. You know a lot of people out there who criticize wrestling do it on the basis of it being all fake. They say stuff like, "It's not a real punch" or "they know how to fall." What do you say to people like that?

KKS: Well they only see what they want to see. If they really want to experience the fakeness, all I have to say to them is, step in the ring and than speak after that. Step in my shoes for one day. You know wrestling is not for everyone, there are some that fail after one day... it's very tough.

Killer Khalsa in Bollywood HollywoodRR: Let's move on to the acting, recently you had a cameo in Deepa Metha's new movie, "Bollywood/Hollywood" released in theatres all over Toronto on October 26th and in the US on November 22nd. What was that like?

KKS: Deepa is great director, you must go see it. It's a romantic comedy and I did a guest appearance, played a prospective groom. A very funny movie, Deepa has never done a comedy movie before so this is good. It also stars Lisa Ray and Raul Khanna, who are both great actors.

RR: Wrestling and acting, I guess that makes you almost a Desi version of The Rock. Speaking of The Rock, will we be seeing you on WWE programming any time soon?

KKS: Well I'm working to get there; it's actually in the works as we speak. Well... might be facing Kurt Angle soon, just to try the new angle out by me being Indian and him as the true American. It will be good...

RR: Kurt Angle? Now that should be a good match. (Kurt Angle is the 1996 Olympic gold medal winner in wrestling). Where can your fans see you in the meantime?

KKS: They can see me on TV here in Chicago, Wisconsin & Indiana. Keep checking the web site for updates to see if I'm in your town. www.killerkhalsa.com, the schedule is to be posted.

RR: Do you have any final comments for you fans?

KKS: Thank you for supporting me and let's keep India alive. Remember from East to West Killer Khalsa Singh is the Best... love and peace.

RR: Well thank you for you time, we here at DesiClub.com wish you the best of luck in your wrestling and movie career.
