The description of the match has always sounded quite unique and cool. Was definitely not suited to Khali though which now makes everyone think of it has complete shit. It might well be and if they go that route again then we'll know for sure. At least Jinder and Orton can actually wrestle so the match has a chance.
Just can't see fans getting excited about it though. I'm not.
The Punjabi Prison match, named after the Punjab state that The Great Khali (the match's founder) is billed from, consists of two large bamboo cages. The first being four sided and standing 16 feet (4.8 m) tall, while the second has eight sides and stands 20 feet (6 m) surrounding the first.
The inner cage has a four foot (1.2 m) 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 (both "medieval" and "bamboo" variations of standard wrestling 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 of the match.
Was hoping that we'd never see this match again. Was an awful match stipulation... although having Kahli in them obviously didn't help and has left the match type with a negative history.
