SEASON 2 - EPISODE TWENTY TWO - Elimination Chamber 2015
A new concept in wrestling is difficult to come up with. In 2002 on the back of the attitude era and the death of any real competition, the WWE created the Elimination Chamber. Four chambers, six competitors and a whole new way of deciding titles, contenders and feuds. Like any concept be it the Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Ladder Matches and the like, there will always be ups and downs. By 2015 the Chamber had its own ppv, but strangely this ppv had been moved to May, and with no real need for elimination chamber matches that year, the decision was made to throw in the IC and Tag Team Titles. A chamber event with the Los Matadores, Ryback, Prime Time Players all popping out the pods was always going to be a hard sell, but man oh man, we haven't scratched the surfce of this awful event! Somebody had Better Call Creative!
