10 Superstar-Centric Gimmick Wrestling Matches
3. Punjabi Prison Match - The Great Khali
A strange one this. The Punjabi Prison actually looked pretty cool, a truly horrible structure that was unique and fresh in the enclosure-match landscape. The problem was it was created for The Great Khali, and anything created for The Great Khali doesn't exactly promise much in the way of greatness.
Ridiculousness was compounded when Khali wasn't even able to make the very first Punjabi Prison match. Khali was not medically cleared to compete, so Big Show of all people took his place. As for the structure, it was a little complicated. It consisted of two large bamboo cages, the first a standard 16ft tall four-sided cage and the second a 20ft tall eight-sided cage.
All you had to do to win was get out of the prison, but that didn't look fun at all. WWE has only ever had two Punjabi Prison matches ('Taker beating Show and Batista beating Khali), and with Khali gone it is unlikely we'll see anymore in the future. The structure was also incredibly weak looking, visibly wilting under the pressure of the giants within the cage.
