16 years ago, Eric Bischoff created the Elimination Chamber Match. The Match has gone threw a lot of ups and down's over the years. High's like the very first chamber match in which Shawn Michaels won after being gone from wrestling for about five years. Also to the low's like in 2006, when WWE held a ECW PPV called ''December to Dismember''. Nothing about that match was good and was definitely a low point in the history of the match.
The Elimination Chamber PPV is in a few weeks. This year will feature two chamber matches and one of them for the first time will be a women's chamber.
Usually, the winners of the matches are pretty obvious, and they go on to face a world champion. This year it'll be Roman Reigns winning so he can face Brock Lesnar. It's a match no one wants to see but are going to have to deal with. Let's pretend someone good is going to win.
Let's look at the past as we see some chamber entry's that weren't good and was a space filler.
#5 R-Truth (2010)
R-Truth has been in four chamber matches if you can believe it. So, to pick one was a bit hard. His 2010 appearance ultimately won. In his four appearances, he's only had one elimination. That was King Barrett in 2015.
In his 2010 appearance, he didn't do anything. He lasted about three and a half minutes before being eliminated by CM Punk. It was a waste because him being there was only to set up the CM Punk/Rey Mysterio feud for that year's WrestleMania.
Some years, it would be ideal for WWE to make it a five person chamber if at least one will be a waste anyway.
#4 The Great Khali (2012)
Why WWE ever thought of pushing this man is an idea that is beyond me. He can barely walk. He was in two chamber matches and once again showed off how much the man doesn't know how to wrestle.
Khali, in 2012, was nothing more than a comedy act. He replaced Mark Henry for this match. Mark Henry was one of the best heels at the time and Khali took his place. Horrible.
He entered fifth and was the first eliminated. The match had Santino Marella and Khali was still the worst in it.
#3 The Ascension (2015)
Ever since their call up to the main roster a few years ago, the team of Konnor and Viktor have done absolutely nothing. WWE already proved that they had nothing for the team going into the chamber match in 2015.
The team was able to get two eliminations, so that's good. The two guys they eliminated were Kalisto and Diego from Los Matadores. It was too late though. They looked good but WWE already proved that this was it.
They were a low tier team and their first year proved that. That's still the same today. The only thing they do now is skits with Fandango and Tyler Breeze. The skits are funny but it's another nail in the coffin for the team.
#2 Mike Knox (2009)
Mike Knox was nothing in WWE. A year after his chamber appearance, he was released. Edge, John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Kane and Chris Jericho were all in the match. You can tell Mike Knox was only chosen to make someone look strong in the match.
Jericho took care of him pretty quickly and the crowd didn't even flinch when he was eliminated. Knox didn't belong in the main event scene and this match proved it.
He's another wrestler that no one will remember unless you really think hard enough. Anyone else would've been a great choice. Hell, Edge took out Kofi before the match. Kofi would've been better than Mike Knox for the match.
#1 Hardcore Holly (2006)
Hardcore Holly was a part of the worst Elimination Chamber match in history. That being the chamber match from ''December to Dismember'' 2006. The show was bad enough and it got worst in the main event. Guys like CM Punk were gone early in the match so that Lashley could win. But a non ECW original winning the belt was not the right call.
Holly didn't last long at all as he was eliminated right away by Test. Hardcore Holly replaced ECW original Sabu. This match would've been perfect for him.
Not a memorable show and not a memorable appearance either. To this day the show is still the lowest bought show and for good reason.
