Former WWE writer: Alex Greenfield recently shared some tidbits about the ‘Punjabi Prison’ match on his podcast: ‘Review-A-Smackdown’. Greenfield was the head-writer at the time when the first Punjabi Prison match took place between the Undertaker and the Big Show (in 2006).
Greenfield shared the reaction of the Undertaker when they first showed him the graphic for what the Punjabi Prison would look like:
“I can tell you the Undertaker’s reaction when we first showed him the graphic. I was standing there with Vince, I was the head writer at that point. JBL was with us. We show it to ‘Taker and his total reaction was “Huh”, and he walked away”
On the day of the match between the Undertaker and the Big Show, Greenfield remembers both men trying to lay out their match while shaking their heads:
“I remember on the day when it was ‘Taker and [Big] Show. They were looking up, this was during the rehersal period where they were figuring out frankly how to fly in the cage. They were looking at it and you could see they were talking about what they would do with the match but there was a lot of head shaking going on”
