10 Strange WWE Gimmick Matches
3. Punjabi Prison Match
Now we come to Sunday’s WWE Championship match, which will
be contest inside a Punjabi Prison.
What’s a Punjabi Prison match, you ask? Well, picture a cage match inside Hell in a Cell, but with bamboo structures instead of steel. The goal is to escape both cages. But it’s not just that simple. Allow for an explanation from Wikipedia:
“The cage surrounding the ring has a 4-foot-by-4-foot door on each of its sides, with a referee standing by to open them at a wrestler’s request. Each door may only be opened once and remain that way for 60 seconds, after which it is padlocked for the remainder of the match. Should all four doors be locked before a wrestler escapes the inner cage, they are forced to climb out over the top, where the bamboo is fashioned into ‘razor-sharp’ spikes. Between the two cages are placed two tables, upon which are weapons (both ‘medieval’ and bamboo variations of standard wrestling weapons).”
So, yeah.
This was the Great Khali’s signature match, but now Jinder Mahal is bringing it back. Good or bad, it should be quite the spectacle.
