With my fifth pick in the draft, I am proud to select in the Stables category – from Stampede Wrestling - The Karachi Vice




"Everybody still talks about the Karachi Vice," explained Gama Singh. "It was an accidental thing, how it came about. There was myself and Mike Shaw, who I had changed his name to Makhan Singh, and we had Steve DiSalvo and Kerry Brown. I think we were all doing an interview together, we did a few interviews for a few weeks in a row, and then it just sort of came out. 'This is the Karachi Vice', because Miami Vice, the TV show, was quite hot at the time. And then the people just picked up from that. The following week, we saw all kinds of signs coming out -- Karachi Ice, Karachi Mice and that sort of thing [laughing]. We just kind of followed through and kept it going from there. It became quite a hot thing for a couple of years at least.
Shaw gained fame in Stampede Wrestling as Makhan Singh, and spent seven years in territory.“
"Karachi Vice was fantastic. It was probably the strongest heel connection I had since I was in the business," Shaw told
SLAM! Wrestling from his Michigan home in April 1999. "Being a white guy and becoming an East Indian -- there's always a little bit of racial tension there."
Gama Singh gave Shaw the Makhan Singh monicker. The big man excelled in the role, especially behind the microphone. When regular announcers like Ed Whelan or Jim Davies were away, Makhan Singh would often take over the announcing duties.
In the ring, Shaw was no slouch either. Karachi Vice had epic battles against the Harts, and their allies like Brian Pillman and Chris Benoit
