“Any idea why they are calling it The Pit?”
A reference to Poe’s “The Pit and the Pendulum”? I recall that the pendulum was not a friendly thing. It cut close to the bone.

Hmm. Are we just spitballing? Did Phillips not say what he meant?
I’m thinking this:
The Pit, with all the building supplies lying around, lends itself to a knockdown festival of pain. The crowd is into it, and fans hand off several new weapons, including shovels and hammers. Use a couple of stacks of lumber as environmental obstacles for whips and grapples; keep pushing your opponents back into them for the advantage.

Thank you. It’s a part of the world I’ve never visited. I lead a quiet life.
