10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About The Great Khali

6. The Punjabi Prison Match Was Created For Him

There aren't that many wrestlers that have had gimmick matches created for them, but Khali was one of them. The Undertaker had a few matches that were meant for him like the Casket Match as well as Buried Alive Match. For Khali, WWE created the Punjabi Prison match. We're not sure why they did it or who came up with it, but we saw its debut at the 2006 Great American Bash in a match Khali wasn't involved in (we'll get that point) and then again at No Mercy 2007 as Khali challenged Batista for the World Title. It's tough to explain what it looks like if you've never seen it. Here's the best description of it that was originally on WWE.com: "The Punjabi Prison consists of two large bamboo cages. The first being four sided and standing 16 feet tall, while the second has eight sides and stands 20 feet surrounding the first. The inner cage has a four foot by four 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 is only allowed to remain open for sixty seconds, after which it is padlocked. Should all four doors end up locked before the wrestlers escape, they are forced to climb out over the top, where the bamboo is fashioned into spikes. Between the two cages are sometimes placed two tables, on which are weapons. Once a wrestler has escaped the first cage, he must climb over and out of the second cage, with the first wrestler having both of their feet touch the arena floor is the winner." Confusing? It sure was. The match was only done twice and both times it was below average. It's hard to know why WWE thought this match idea was smart. It wasn't. Fans could barely see into the ring and the rules were confusing that people weren't sure what the wrestlers were trying to do a lot of the time. Any time you have to give a long winded description about a match type it's not a good thing. Both Punjabi Prison matches were bad. We're pretty sure that WWE wants to forget about them.
