7 Worst Wrestling Moments Of The Week (July 2)
5. Punjabi Prison’s Perplexing Return
On SmackDown, Randy Orton demanded a match with Jinder Mahal. Since no one else wants to see another go-around, it would be nice if they'd leave us out it and do it off-air in a parking lot or something. Let us know who wins at some other point in the future.
Not only is the feud a dud, but it also lacked in logic. On the SmackDown run-sheet, we were all going to watch Aiden English sing for five minutes on SmackDown, then he would walk to the back (why exactly do General Managers keep booking people to sing/play music on their shows anyway?). But Orton ruined everything! Shane McMahon came out, granted Randy's request and said Mahal could pick any stipulation (sadly he didn't go for the old "My Opponent Will Be Disqualified If He Makes Eye Contact With Me" stipulation). It was an “unplanned” moment, if you will. Mahal came out, declared they'd tussle in a Punjabi Prison match and they IMMEDIATELY cut to footage of a Punjabi Prison match.
Do they just always have that on standby in the odd event Mojo Rawley challenges Konnor to one?
Even more ridiculous is the fact JBL listed off the stipulation of the match right off the top of his head. The Great Khali doesn't remember the rules. It was almost as if he was reading off a script.
Well, welcome back Punjabi Prison match. You weren't really missed, but since we'll likely never get another Bra and Panties match, First Blood match, or Inferno match, you'll have to fulfill that gaping whole in the lives of people who desperately miss 2007.
