Should the Punjabi Prison Match Return?

[The Gribbler]

Anyone else feel a Khali - Kane Punjabi prison when Khali gets back from injury?

Seriously, we all know that the WWE wants these two to wrestle for some unknown and god awful reason, and this seems the perfect way for Khali to make his return.

Maybe bring back a little of the monster.

Just My Opinion

I forgot about the Kane/Khali feud. It really didn't end properly (although I was glad to see it end) because Khali had to take time off to have surgery. This is what I don't want to see in Punjabi Prison matches. Two giants having a slow and boring match, but like you said, for reasons unknown, WWE wants these two to wrestle each other. On the bright side of things, if this does happen, Kane could finally get the push i've been waiting for.

Damn skippy it should. I love watching it. Even Batista vs Khali was entertaining just because the structure and the whole concept was cool. With two insanely athletic dudes in there, damn. Think of what they could do. I'd love to see it come back in some shape or form. Maybe change the name so you wouldn't have to involve Khali.

This match should definitely return. It was OK the first two times, and they were both with people that have no business being in it. Put guys in there with a little athleticism (Shelton, JoMo, Punk, Ziggler, etc.) and you got yourself a mid-carder's wet dream. The first enclosure would bring enough action, and then the second would be essentially a race to get out, with some nasty bumps and big falls.

It would need a renaming though, since Khali wouldn't ever be in it again...Don't forget, they're in the middle of marketing a new playset around this...

I remember watching Taker go through the one with big show, though with the structure being steel rather than bamboo you have to wonder how they prepared it so it broke so easily without it not falling out of place with Show and Taker making a few large impacts near it.

As for using it as a standard gimmick match, all they'd need to do is remove the bamboo look and turn it into two normal cages, then give it a name to suit whatever situation it's used in for the first time with those structures.

To be honest though I'd love to see a couple of the smaller guys in it as would most people it looks like, however I could see it causing more injury time than a week straight of doing ladder matches.

I think they should turn this match into a themed PPV. Can you imagine how awesome it would be to see 3 Punjabi Prison matches in one night? The could even call it WWE: Punjabi Prison.

In all seriousness, I really enjoyed these matches due to the freshness and the uniqueness that the match brought to the table. The only problem I see is how they could sensibly bring this match back if Khali isn't involved.

For example, while it would be very entertaining to see Morrison vs Punk in a Punjabi Prison macth, it would be awfully random for one to challenge the other to this match.

[Remix]

if they need a loophole for having random wrestlers have a punjabi proson match, they could have a PPV with the gimmick that every match/main event has a stipulation chosen by 'random'. so for the above example one wrestler challenges the other, the other accepts, hype is thrown in that niether Punk or JoMo know's what sort of match they'll be in until the match type is revealed (which would be done either on the SD before the PPV, or at the PPV itself, probably the latter to throw mystery into the mix).

or they could hire another indian wrestler and have him occasionally use the match until it's been used enough to no longer be special and can become used as a generic feud ender. and finally they just change the name of it and/or look of it to make it not Khali's gimmick match any more.

That's what I'm talking about! Now I don't know if WWE would use this to bring back the cruiser weight title because they probably would want to use it for the WHC or WWE championship, but that's what I would want to see. Remeber Cena,Morrison,Ziggler,and Swagger are all pretty athletic too, so I think WWE could use the match in many ways. I would love to see Evan Borne in this match. He would do some insane spots that would have the crowd and everyone watching at home on the edge of their seats.

It'd give another gimmick to liven things up, if nothing else. I know that the Punjabi Prison match was at first Khali's match...but it's whatever. It's a match that looks incredibly dominating and intimidating in its nature. Bamboo fucking hurts. Make an entire match out of getting out of a maze of that shit? I'd be afraid for Cena if he was thrown in there with Swagger. I won't lie.

Put Swagger and Cena in there, you'll have craziness. Put Morrison and Punk in there, someone is going to lose 5 years off of their "walking around" time. Put Hardy and anyone else in there, Hardy would have died. Or, he would have sold enough to make me believe he had died, came back to life, and then gone into a coma.

It'll work. In fact, I want it back. Give me an Inferno Match while you're at it. Kane needs to light some fuck from ECW on fire. Or Chavo. Light Chavo on fire. That'd be fun.
