7 Biggest and Best Moments in Wrestling for July 2017

#4 Punjabi Prison

The massive structure was seen with mixed reviews by fans this past month.

On Sunday, July 23rd, Randy Orton, and Jinder Mahal came together to compete in the first Punjabi Prison match in ten years. The nature of this structure is rather interesting, as it is essentially a bamboo cage within a bamboo cage.

There are also trap doors inside the cage, and in the lead up to the event, the Singh brothers made fans aware during a promo on Smackdown Live that the doors would be open for only a minute before being shut. The rule is that, once you are able to escape the inner portion of the structure, you have to climb the second structure in order to escape and be crowned the victor.

The concept is quite unique, but for fans in attendance, the view of what was taking place inside the ring was mostly obstructed. Through the wonders of carefully set up camera work, fans watching at home, or those at the event with a solid view of the big screen, could see what was happening between Orton and Mahal very well.

However, those that were closer to the front had their view inhibited. The structure itself is quite remarkable, to say the least. The match itself culminated in the return of the former World champion for whom the Punjabi Prison match was created, the Great Khali. Khali aided Mahal, who retained the WWE championship.
