#3 Punjabi Prison

The Punjabi Prison match was doomed from the start

This match was designed specifically to be the trademark match type of The Great Khali, and if that doesn't tell you all you need to know about the gimmick, then nothing will.

Just to make this stipulation even more comical, The Great Khali couldn't even compete in the first-ever match of its kind due to elevated liver enzymes and was replaced by The Big Show, who then went on to lose to The Undertaker.

The match has become something of a punchline in the WWE, and the company foolishly decided to wheel the gimmick back out in 2017, pitting WWE champion, Jinder Mahal against Randy Orton in the encounter.

Mahal would win the encounter thanks to a needless appearance from The Great Khali and hopefully, that is the last we will ever see from this gimmick.
