Unforgiving steel

The steel structure is 16 ft. (4.9 m) high and has a diameter36 ft. (11 m) whilst being built from 2 miles of Steel chain and 10 tons of steel. It has four glassed pods to hold the superstars who aren’t involved in the match during the start.

Rules

The match usually has six competitors in which two will start while the other will be enclosed in the pods in the chamber. Then the four wrestlers will be given the chance to enter the match in regular intervals. A wrestler who gets pinned or submitted gets eliminated instantly and has to leave the chamber. The process continues until only one superstar remains in the chamber that is declared as the winner.
