WWE: Top 10 Elimination Chamber matches of all time
The Elimination Chamber
The unforgiving steel structure that separate men from boys, the elimination chamber has produced some of the most thrilling encounters in the history of WWE.
The so called Satan’s prison was the brain child of Eric Bischoff who was a big controversial figure himself. For a decade now the gimmick match has been shortening the career of many hall of famers.
There has been 16 elimination matches in the history so far and hopefully there will be one or two additions this year also. But for now here is a look at the top the ten elimination chamber matches in the WWE.
10- Elimination Chamber 2010- World Heavyweight Championship Match: The Undertaker vs. Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho vs. R Truth vs. John Morrison
The Undertaker
It’s not every day that you see Undertaker defend the World Heavyweight Championship in a Elimination chamber and its definetly not every day that you see him lose that match.
Punk started off the match against Truth which resulted in the rapping superstar’s elimination before anyone else came in. Punk would then be eliminated by Mysterio which was followed by the entry of Jericho and Morrison. Taker was last to come in but made an instant impact by eliminating Morrison, who earlier mesmerized the fans with his athleticism.
Jericho and Taker would be the last two men in the ring and then the twist in the tale happened. As Jericho was out and cold, Shawn Michaels would come from under the ring to execute sweet chin music to Taker. Jericho then utilized the situation and won the match which set up a clash against Edge at WrestleMania while Taker would go on to end the career of Michaels.
9- Elimination Chamber 2011- World Heavyweight Championship Match: Edge (c) vs. Big Show vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Kane vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Wade Barrett
Edge and Rey Mysterio
For five superstars it was an opportunity to headline WrestleMania against Alberto Del Rio, who won the first ever 40-man Royal Rumble but for Edge it was a hell bound defense of his title.
And no one expected that the Rated R superstar would be walking out of the pay-per-view with the title around his waist.
Edge started off the match with Rey Mysterio but then all the six superstars would end up in the same ring, which is rarest of the rare occasions for this type of match. Then the eliminations piled up with Barrett being the first victim.
Big Show would then take four finishers before going down with McIntyre and Kane following. The two men who started the match would also end it as Mysterio locked horns with Edge. The champion then produced a hall of fame performance to keep the title around his waist.
