Really? :dwillhuh: The Elimination Chamber is probably the only gimmick match that hasn't been completely ruined yet.

2009 had the fukkery of Edge being eliminated first, losing the WWE Championship, then entering the RAW Chamber match illegally and winning the World Heavyweight Championship. :wow:

2010 had John Cena winning the Chamber and the WWE Championship, then losing it to Batista minutes later. That same night, Shawn Michaels cost Undertaker (who almost got burned alive) the World Heavyweight Championship.

2011 had two great Chamber matches, even though we all knew who was going to win them.

2012 also had both Chamber matches be entertaining. They were this close to having Santino as the World Heavyweight Champion. :wow:

2013 was fine, but Jack Swagger winning was an upset that nobody saw coming.

I'll always remember the 2014 one because Michael Cole went crazy on commentary that night, wondering why Daniel Bryan kept getting screwed over.

I never watched the 2015 ones and I heard they were :trash:. Shame that those were the last Chamber matches with the original structure.

I thought the match was dead once they changed the structure in 2017, but Bryan and Kofi proved two years later that you just have to work a little harder to make it entertaining. :wow:

I mean there’s been good Chamber matches since, hell I even like the Chamber match when Bray won the title, the Women’s Tag Chamber match, and the one when Kofi almost won but I should’ve said that the Chamber match hasn’t felt like the Chamber since 08, when I think of the Elimination Chamber, I think of a violent, brutal match and it hasn’t really been that.
