10 Terrible Gimmick Wrestling Matches One Tweak Away From Excellence
9. Punjabi Prison
Why It's Terrible: The bamboo doesn't quite pack the same punch as the solid steel most fans have become accustomed to on cages, cells and chambers.
Also, every single match contested within it thus far has totally stunk.
One Tweak: The convoluted rules sort of suited the silliness of the original Great Khali character, but all the locked doors and spiked bamboo are a) too Crystal Maze to look like they form part of a killer device and b) too self-contained to really make that much sense.
WWE officials working in tandem with the controllers of the cage, or even enforcing such a strange set of stipulations, is quite a needless stretch when there's surely more satisfaction in watching two men make firewood with the remains of the structure from the outset? Lock all the doors from the off and take the sharpened blades from the ends of the inside canes - a one-fall to a finish doesn't force a combatant to try and leave, more to just battle their way to a win in the wood.
