I wanted to have Jigsaw reference Sub-Zero and Scorpion's rivalry to get under their skin, and what better way than to mention how Scorpion was killed by Sub-Zero? So then I thought about any Saw traps that used ice in some way and got two different ideas: the Face Your Fears trap, and the ice block trap. Getting crushed by ice was more brutal than just being frozen to death, so I used the ice block trap as the means of comparing Scorpion's death by Sub-Zero to a Saw trap, and I reworked the Face Your Fears trap as a Sub-Zero line (it writes itself). I wanted to build up the climax of the trap (getting crushed by ice) with the different aspects of the trap, starting with getting cold feet (likening wanting to back out of a commitment (in this case, rap battling Jigsaw) to standing on a block of ice) and going on to "shoot what Donnie Wahlberg do" (or "do" what Donnie Wahlberg "does" (get crushed by ice), it just rhymes better and references that Donnie Wahlberg shot a gun just before the trap springs on him).

Thanks for reading and enjoying :)
