 PREPARE TO ENTER SATAN"S STRUCTURE! September 6, 2010
ANAN KHALIQUE
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
WWE has released another dvd that focuses on 1 match (the other being Bloodbath from, I think 03 or 05? And the awesome HIAC set). The Elimination Chamber is one of the most demonic structures ever invented (I still think HIAC is THE most demonic structure, but EC is just right under it). For those that havent seen a EC match, don't remember them, or just ordered the ppvs or them, this set is for you. They have every EC Match from SSeries 02 (the first) to EC 2010. SO let's get to em!!!
Please note: Don't remember all of what happened in these matches because I haven't seen them in awhile. I;m giving a review now before re-watching on purpose because I do don't want to give all the good stuff away. If I did, what's the point in buying since you'd already know the good parts? I may throw in some good parts to generate interests though.
HHH (c) vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Booker T vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Kane vs. Chris Jericho - this was the first EC match. a lot of people say this was the best one. idk which EC match is best to me, but this was a good one, a real real good one. I say the MVP is RVD. He was very innovative here & when he did the 2 Star, it was very daring/brave of him to come off the chamber pod. Kane was good. Gave it his all in there. Just wish he lasted longer. Same with Booker T. Jericho was great here too. HHH, of course, ALWAYS has to last long. I feel he shouldve been eliminated earlier. but THANK GOD he FINALLY lost the Title. HBK won & 5th, and now, last World Title. I feel he shouldve had it longer or had another run.
HHH (c) vs. Goldberg vs. Kevin Nash vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton - Didnt like this one too much, but it was good. I thought HBK should;ve won this one just because he was my favorite in this match. I'm a fan of his. My 2nd pick was Jericho. But, HHH won. Shouldve predicted that. I gotta hand it to Orton though. I took a lot of finishers in a row (dont remember who's or how many). Goldberg had a dominant performance so I feel he really should've won. (if not HBK or Jericho). But then again, maybe they felt he wasnt getting as over as they hoped or wanted? Cant say as I don't work for WWE & dont wanna say this should or shouldnt happen because of this or that. I'm not a WWE employee & dont wanna pretend to be one. Nash did ok. Just didnt last long.
Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton vs. Batista vs. Edge vs. Triple H (Ref: HBK) - There was no champion going into this as a result of a controversial ending to a previous Title bout. Plenty of highlights that I do not want to give away. Let's just say this showed that WWE wasn't as bad in 2005 as some thought.
John Cena (c) vs. Kane vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle vs. Carlito vs. Chris Masters - I think this was the first time that the WWE Title was defended inside this dreaded structure. HBK started first because of Vince, Carlito/Masters teaming up till one turned on the other (you knew it'd happen eventually lol. In a Title match, how can it not?) are just a few stories that are told here & in a great way. The aftermath is what made it VERY GOOD for me....."You Think You Know Me"
Big Show (c) vs. Bobby Lashley vs. C.M. Punk vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Test vs. Hardcore Holly - I did not see this yet & Idk if I ever can/will. I could never watch WWE's ECW (except for ONS 05 since that was ORIGINAL ECW). I did like that RVD was in it cuz he knows how to use the Chamber & he;s innovative. Also like that Punk was in here cuz that this time, he was thought as the future and was REALLY GOOD at SSeries 06 so he deserved to be in a Title match.
Undertaker vs. Batista vs. Finlay vs. Great Khali vs. Big Daddy V vs. M.V.P. - One of my favorites because it was the continuation of the UT/Batista rivalry, which rejuvenated Batista & his career in my & many other people's opinions. Didn't like that BDV & TGK were in it, but Finlay was good enough to be there. MVP was & still is the future. THen you have the first 2 who were also the last 2, which is what I liked about this BEST, UT & Batista. MVP got chokeslammed off the top of the Chamber pod & Taker did an AMAZING counter into a Tombstone.
Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels vs. J.B.L. vs. Umaga - Took place the same time that the match before this, NWO 08. Highlight for me was Jeff Hardy & HHH. There were other good stuff too. Jericho has always been one of my favorites. He was an awesome face. But his current heel persona is by far, his very best to me.
Edge (c) vs. Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Undertaker vs. Big Show vs. Vladimir Kozlov - Only remember 3 things about this:
1. Edge was eliminated very quickly! Don't think that was done before.
2. Taker picking up Jeff Hardy from the concrete (when I first saw it, the way he did made me think he was gonna do a sidewalk slam, but instead it was the dreaded Tombstone)
3. The last 2 men gave it their all. Taker & HHH. I don't like HHH. But Taker can work great with anyone and HHH is no exception. And HHH is a great wrestler. I'm not taking anything away from him. Just cuz I don't like him doesn't mean I'm
not gonna admit he's a great wrestler cuz he is. If he wasn't, he wouldn't last this long. They would've let him go before DX was born if he wasn't this good. Just wish Taker won. But in the end, the fans won because Taker losing this meant the classic WM25 match between UT & HBK happened. Had Taker won, the WM25 wouldn't exist.
John Cena (c) vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Kane vs. Chris Jericho vs. Edge vs. Mike Knox - It was supposed to Be Kofi Kingston in here (wish it was. He's innovative enough to use this Chamber to his advantage like RVD/Jeff Hardy). It was a good match & it was this very match that made me, for the first time, notice & see WWE's brilliant youth movement. Credit to them for that strategy. Veterans cannot go all year long so let the young ones shine when the veterans are/aren't there. THat way, when the veterans return, they can work with the young talents & elevate them. It;s just a faster way of creating new stars. I just hope no one pulls another Brock Lesnar stunt. Taker lost to him twice (No Mercy 2002/2003) & left before Taker can pin him. Wow. Taker doesn't care...at least, I don't think he does. But still, the man put you over. You should let him get one, JUST ONE on you. I mean, he was the face. Faces eventually end up finishing the feud with the heels as winners. Anyway, back to the match. It was as good as you can expect. You had Rey, a high flyer. Jericho, who could be a high flyer when he wants to be. Kane, who's a hard worker & someone who's signature move is a high flying clothesline. Then you have Cena, Knox, and Edge. I don't remember what happened. But anytime Kane or Jericho or Edge or Mysterio is in a match, I usually enjoy it so I probably enjoyed this & you might too, esp. if you're a fan of these 4.
WWE Champion Sheamus vs. Triple H vs. John Cena vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton vs. Ted Dibiase - Here is another prime example of WWE's youth movement. Other than HHH, all the other guys here are seen by WWE as the future of the company. WHy else would they be here lol? Orton's inevitable face turn was set up here (actually before. But it was clearly evident here that he'd turn face) when he was pinned by none other than his Legacy team mate, Ted Dibiase. The match between HHH & his real life training/sparring partner, Sheamus, was set up here. Kofi just matured more as an in ring competitor, got more experience. And Cena was Cena. But after the match, which I think Cena won, he lost to Batista, courtesy of a Batistabomb. And that set up their Title match at WM & the feud continued till Over the Limit. Next night on RAW, Batista THANKFULLY left WWE. He got in at too old an age anyways (most retire or are damn ner close to retiring at the age Batista got in). Can't believe he lasted long & had the Title as long and as many times as he did. But maybe that's because Vince loves big guys. If he worked a limited schedule, then I can see it. And he was too injury prone. Hope he stays gone.
World Champion Undertaker vs. John Morrison vs. Rey Mysterio vs. R-Truth vs. C.M. Punk vs. Chris Jericho - I loved this match. THis & the previous match before this took place at EC 2010. That one was good cuz it set up future WM matches & feuds. But, in terms of match quality, I personally enjoyed this more. A lot say the RAW EC was better. But, not IMO.
I don't remember what match it was in (I'm thinkin NWO 08) But Jeff Hardy did an amazing spot. Then again, he always does. So maybe he did it in all the ECs he was in. I think it was a Whisper In The Wind, Swanton Bomb, or both, off the top of the Chamber pod. I'm really leaning towards Swanton at NWO 08. Not sure though.
This is one of very few DVDs where Benoit is featured so GET IT, esp. if you're a fan of his wrestling.
Glad this is released. But idk why they released this barbaric match as an Anthology set during WWE's PG era. I mean, there's blood here that is NOT edited & unlike now, matches are not temporarily stopped for blood. Not to mention the name of the DVD, Satan's Prison. Their PG era needs to be tweaked of it;s too be worked effectively esp. long term. This is an example of that to me,
 Truly Lives Up To Its' Name! Satan's Prison!!! August 22, 2010
Krishna Jaipersad (Port of spain Trinidad and Tobago)
It is about time that those of us on a budget & would like to see a specific group of matches featuring a certain gimmick, Tables, Ladders & Chairs, Hell In A Cell, Last Man Standing, Casket Matches, or even this, The Elimination Chamber, need not purchase the entire pay-per-view disc just to see one match & purchase this instead.
The sheer brutality portrayed is mind-numbing & highly entertaining! I have enjoyed most of the matches on this 3 disc set & though I could complain about the end result of some of them, I won't.
Purchase this to be entertained thoroughly!

Possibly the most barbaric match that WWE has, The Elimination Chamber has produced some of the most intense and brutal action ever seen in a wrestling ring. Even by today's more sanitized WWE, it still has some 'ouchy' moments!
I will review this by Disc with each match having a WINNER, REAL WINNER, REAL LOSER, BEST PERFORMANCE and WORST BEATING! Let's get to it:
DISC 1
HHH Vs. Shawn Michaels Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. Booker T. Vs. Kane Vs. Rob Van Dam (Survivor Series 2002 for the World Heavyweight Championship) - This was the very first E.C. match ever held and is still considered by many to be the best (though others claim that the New Year's Revolution 2005 E.C. is the best ever, more on that one later)!
In this one, we saw strong performances from all involved but a particularly gutsy performance by HHH who was injured during the match thanks to a botched Five Star Frog Splash by RVD as Rob's left knee jammed into "The Game"'s throat! Amazingly, HHH finished the match as he was finally defeated by Shawn Michaels. This would be, as it turns out now, Shawn's final World singles title win.
WINNER: Shawn Michaels
REAL WINNER: Shawn Michaels as he completed a comeback after being gone for 4 years and having only one other match prior to this and that was at SummerSlam 2002 against HHH!
REAL LOSER: HHH who, despite a gutsy performance, ended up in a hospital immediately after this match.
BEST PERFORMANCE: Rob Van Dam. Despite the botched frog splash and being eliminated, he seemed to adjust to the environment the best in this bout and was very innovative in his offense.
WORST BEATING: RVD & HHH. Both took their share of hard bumps! HHH being worse as he, as stated earlier, ended up in a hospital afterwards.
HHH Vs. Shawn Michaels Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. Randy Orton Vs. Goldberg Vs. Kevin Nash (SummerSlam 2003 for the World Heavyweight Championship) - In this second ever E.C. contest, HHH had a little help this time in the form of Evolution members "Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Randy Orton (though Orton was one of the opponents in this match). The match itself started off good with Michaels and Jericho and continued when Orton got into the match. It slows down when Nash hits the ring but, thankfully, he's eliminated during his surge. HHH wasn't involved for most of the contest even when his pod was opened thanks to Michaels' "Sweet Chin Music"! It became a glorified squash when Goldberg got in as he pretty much tore through everyone! Ends when HHH uses his trusty sledgehammer to knock out "Da Man" as he tried to spear tackle him! HHH survives this one.
WINNER: HHH
REAL WINNER: HHH as he survived with his World title intact.
REAL LOSER: Goldberg. Though he was dominant, this loss pretty much squashed his momentum in WWE. He would later win the World Title from HHH a month after this match BUT it would've been better for him to win it here as he had great momentum going into this match.
BEST PERFORMANCE: Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho with honorable mention to Randy Orton.
WORST BEATING: Randy Orton, particularly from Nash's powerbomb and Goldberg's spear and other power moves.
HHH Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. Chris Benoit Vs. Randy Orton Vs. Batista Vs. Edge (New Year's Revolution 2005 for the World Heavyweight Championship) - In case you haven't read the other excellent reviews and in case you think you need your eyes checked, that is NOT a misprint that Chris Benoit's name is there! He is in fact shown in this E.C. True, some of the commentary concerning him has been edited out (which is rather silly to me, if people can't get over that this was in 2005 that's their problem), I am pleased that he's shown at all. True, WWE could've took the easy way out but chose not too and for that, I give them a thumbs up. While I might not like Chris Benoit the human being, editing history is an even BIGGER pet peeve with me.
Anyway, on the E.C. itself, its considered one of the best (if not THE best) E.C.'s of all time! Everyone gave maximum effort. Adding to it was Shawn Michaels as a special referee in this match. Surprisingly, with the exception of when Edge provoked him into a "SMC", he was objective during the whole contest. Some of the camera angles have been changed but it affects the viewing of the match very little. In fact, a couple of the new angles actually makes it BETTER! In the end, HHH wins his 10th world championship.
WINNER: HHH
REAL WINNER: Batista. Though he lost, "The Animal" gained great momentum and fan support as a result of his performance in this match.
REAL LOSER: Randy Orton. In an opposite way, he lost a lot of momentum and push after this match! It took him a long time to really get back to that main event level.
BEST PERFORMANCE: While everyone gave it their all, I have to give the nod to Batista because he was so dominant during his time in the E.C. Honorable mention goes to the former "Canadian Chris'" (Benoit/Jericho) as well.
WORST BEATING: HHH. By rights, he should've lost this one because everyone got in his behind here!
Disc 1 also has four promos promoting various Elimination Chambers. There are also segments with Todd Grisham discussing the Chamber and its various participants including an interview with Batista prior to showing the NYR '05 chamber match.
DISC 2
John Cena Vs. Carlito Vs. Chris Masters Vs. Kurt Angle Vs. Shawn Michaels Vs. Kane (New Year's Revolution 2006 for the WWE Championship) - In this one, its best remembered not for the chamber match itself but for what happened afterwards! More on that in a moment.
As for the bout itself, it was a pretty good affair with pretty good performances from all involved. The weakest, incidentally enough, came from Cena himself! After starting the match with Shawn Michaels and pretty much getting his can kicked for most of the match, Cena survives and retains his WWE title......ONLY TO LOSE IT MOMENTS LATER WHEN EDGE DECIDED TO CASH IN 'MONEY IN THE BANK'! LOL!
WINNER: John Cena
REAL WINNER: Edge, who smartly waited for his spot to cash in MITB to win his first WWE title.
REAL LOSER: Kurt Angle, who was robbed after having the most dominant performance in the contest!
BEST PERFORMANCE: Kurt Angle, who kicked a** in this one! You must see the booty-whippin' he puts on nearly everyone!
WORST BEATING: Shawn Michaels & John Cena. They both took a good one here and both were the 'crimson mask' (as the late Gordon Solie would say)!
The Big Show Vs. Hardcore Holly Vs. C.M. Punk Vs. Test Vs. Rob Van Dam Vs. Bobby Lashley (WWECW December To Dismember for the WWECW Championship) - As you see by my heading, the only connection that WWE's ECW had with the original was the initials! That's why I tend to refer to their version as "WWECW" because it was a sanitized version of the original.
That being said, this E.C. has the reputation of being the worst E.C. of all time. I don't think that's totally fair because the first half of this match is actually pretty good! Things go south once both C.M. Punk and RVD are eliminated however! Anyway, Bobby Lashley (who is now an MMA fighter) wins the WWECW championship.
WINNER: Bobby Lashley
REAL WINNER: Bobby Lashley, who received a decent push afterwards before quiting WWE in the latter part of 2007.
REAL LOSER: Fans of the original ECW!
BEST PERFORMANCE: RVD and C.M. Punk as they honored what ECW used to be in this match!
WORST BEATING: Again, RVD and C.M. Punk. Punk, particularly, took some nasty bumps!
The Undertaker Vs. Batista Vs. Finlay Vs. MVP Vs. Big Daddy V Vs. The Great Khali (Smackdown/ECW Chamber Match. Winner gets a World Title shot at WrestleMania 24) - This one was one of two Chamber matches at No Way Out 2008. This one was not a great one as The Undertaker and Batista kept it from being totally crap. MVP DOES take the bump of the bout when he's tossed from one of the chamber pods into the ring! Ends when UT reverses a powerslam into a tombstone piledriver on Batista! I should note that they started this match and ended it!
WINNER: The Undertaker
REAL WINNER: The Undertaker. He went on to win another world title and keep his undefeated streak at WM!
REAL LOSER: The Great Khali as he hasn't really main evented anything since this match.
BEST PERFORMANCE: Undertaker/Batista. They started the bout and ended it!
WORST BEATING: The Undertaker! Nearly everyone got their blows in on him in this one.
HHH Vs. Shawn Michaels Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. Jeff Hardy Vs. Umaga Vs. JBL (RAW Chamber Match. Winner gets a WWE Championship shot at WrestleMania 24) - This one was the better of the two at No Way Out 2008 as these men pulled out all stops. It begins with rivals Michaels and Jericho and pretty much the action stays up the whole time with a great finish between HHH and Hardy at the end. HHH wins and gets his shot but it ends up being a Triple Threat Bout involving John Cena (that's a whole 'nother story).
WINNER: HHH
REAL WINNER: HHH as he once again main evented WrestleMania.
REAL LOSER: Jeff Hardy as he was suspended again for failing the Wellness Program for the 2nd time shortly after this match.
BEST PERFORMANCE: Umaga as he pretty much dominated most of the time he was in the match!
WORST BEATING: Umaga at the end as he took the finishers of Jericho, Michaels, HHH and Hardy before being eliminated!
On this disc, we have an interview with John Cena on his first chamber match in addition to review of the other chamber matches.
DISC 3
Edge Vs. HHH Vs. Undertaker Vs.Jeff Hardy Vs. Vladimir Kozlov Vs. The Big Show (Smackdown Chamber Match for the WWE Championship/No Way Out 2009) - In this one, the shocker is that during the first 5 minute period, Edge gets eliminated by Jeff Hardy! As a result, we were guaranteed a new WWE champion this night! Things slow down when Kozlov and The Big Show get in but pick back up when HHH and UT get in! Wasn't the best chamber match but it did have a classic battle to end it between "The Dead Man" and "The Game" with HHH winning another world championship!
WINNER: HHH
REAL WINNER: The fans as they were treated to a classic battle between two WWE icons at the end.
REAL LOSER: Edge! This is the only time to date that a champion was eliminated within the first 5 minute period of this match!
BEST PERFORMANCE: UT & HHH
WORST BEATING: Jeff Hardy without a doubt!
John Cena Vs. Rey Mysterio Vs. Kane Vs. Mike Knox Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. Kofi Kingston* (RAW Chamber Match for the World Heavyweight Championship/No Way Out 2009) - I have a star next to Kofi's name because he never actually got into the match. In a sinister but brilliant move, Edge takes out Kofi and inserts himself into this E.C. The officials allow it to stand even though Edge isn't a RAW competitor!
In any case, this match was much better paced than the Smackdown one. For Cena haters, this one is for you as you get to see John Cena get squashed by Mysterio, Jericho and Edge with their respective signature moves en route to his elimination! LOL! We also get a classic bout between Rey and Edge which ends with Edge winning the World Heavyweight Championship!
WINNER: Edge
REAL WINNER: Edge for pulling off this move.
REAL LOSER: Kofi Kingston who didn't even get a chance to compete!
BEST PERFORMANCE: Rey Mysterio (honorable mention to Chris Jericho as well)
WORST BEATING: Officially, Rey Mysterio! Unofficially, Kofi Kingston!
Sheamus Vs. John Cena Vs. HHH Vs. Randy Orton Vs. Ted Dibiase Vs. Kofi Kingston (RAW Chamber Match for the WWE Championship/Elimination Chamber 2010) - In this one, Sheamus is on a roll as WWE champion though the odds are against him. We also have a shaky alliance between Dibiase and Orton as well as a rivaries all over the place from the recent past (Orton Vs. Cena, Cena Vs. HHH, Orton Vs. HHH, Orton Vs. Kingston). The match is pretty good but the ending is too quick as Cena makes HHH tap out to the STF. HOWEVER, in a deja vu moment, Cena is forced to defend the WWE championship against Smackdown's Batista! This "match" is over quickly as Batista takes the WWE title!
WINNER: John Cena
REAL WINNER: Batista as he used his alliance with Vince McMahon to get a title match right after the Chamber bout
REAL LOSER: John Cena, who gets punked after winning a chamber match AGAIN! LOL!
BEST PERFORMANCE: Kofi Kingston. Though he lost, he definitely had the best performance of the competitors here.
WORST BEATING: Kofi Kingston. Particularly when Orton and Dibiase got their hands on him, including putting his head between the chain-links! Aggh!
The Undertaker Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. John Morrison Vs. R-Truth Vs. C.M. Punk Vs. Rey Mysterio (Smackdown Chamber Match for the World Heavyweight Title/Elimination Chamber 2010) - This was the better of the two Chamber matches this night as everyone gave it their best effort. Also, I should note that UT gets burned by pyro while making his way to the ring! The commentators try to hide it by saying "he can't wait to get into the chamber" when in reality, he was getting his coat off to keep from being burnt up!
As for the match itself, it was very well done and carried by Jericho, Mysterio and Punk. John Morrison had his moments as well for his first time in the chamber. It ends with a classic toe to toe between Jericho and UT which was marred by the unexpected appearance of Shawn Michaels! He superkicked UT, thus allowing Jericho to win the World Title and forcing his (Undertaker) hand into a classic match (which turned out to be Shawn's final one) at WrestleMania 26.
WINNER: Chris Jericho
REAL WINNER: Shawn Michaels as he got what he wanted and that was one more match with The Undertaker
REAL LOSER: Can't really say here. I guess a stretch would be C.M. Punk considering how his career has gone since this match!
BEST PERFORMANCE: Chris Jericho
WORST BEATING: John Morrison, particularly when UT got his hands on him! Took a nasty chokeslam on the steel floor of the chamber! Ouch!
Overall, I was very pleased with this release! I would recommend a buy, not something I say about a WWE release these days all that often. I also want to give WWE some credit. They could've easily taken the easy way out concering NYR '05 with Chris Benoit but they didn't! That's another reason for the thumbs up on this one. I'd give this one a chance folks!

World Champion Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Booker T vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Kane vs. Chris Jericho - This was the first ever Chamber match & everyone looked like they legitly could win the belt as one point or another and this match had alot of moments in itself. Like RVD jumping off the walls like he was SpiderMan and even leaping off the top of one of the cells onto HHH & injuring his throat in the process...and even HHH's performance after that injury is something worth watching.
Survivor Series 02
World Champion Triple H vs. Goldberg vs. Kevin Nash vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton - This was suppost to be Goldberg vs. Triple H however Triple H suffered a groining injury so it was turned into a Chamber match. This was a match that had multiple stories being told such as Randy Orton protecting Triple H's championship, Kevin Nash going for revenge against Chris Jericho for his recent haircut, Shawn Michaels ultimately showing his best friend Nash that it's every man for himself, Nash doing heavy damage before walking out of what would be his last WWE match, and Goldberg being a dominate monster such as taking Chris Jericho through one of the pods. This was one of those matches where you have to understand the story they're telling as Goldberg just wasn't getting over as hoped in WWE (weather that's WWE's creative or Goldberg's own fault is another debate for another time) so this was booked to have Goldberg return to his old WCW dominate monster character to get him over...again, a match where you have to understand what they're doing to value it.
Summerslam 03
World Championship Match w/Special Referee Shawn Michaels: Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton vs. Batista vs. Edge vs. Triple H - After a controversal ending to a title match, this was setup to crown a new champion. Various highlights including Jericho & Benoit starting out the match with Jericho delivering one heck of superplex, various wrestlers feeling the impact of being dropped on the Chamber floor, Edge spearing everyone in sight...and I mean EVERYONE, the HHH/Benoit/Orton sequence that went from a crossface to a sharpshooter to an RKO, Benoit's diving headbutt from the top of one of the holding cells, Jericho being Batista-bombed ontop of Benoit, and the issues between Orton & Evolution...along with the tease between Triple H & Batista...continuing. Overall, great Chamber match.
New Years Revolution 05
WWE Champion John Cena vs. Kane vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle vs. Carlito vs. Chris Masters - This was the first time the WWE Championship was defended in the Chamber match & had multiple stories being told throughout this match such as Shawn Michaels starting out first at the orders of Mr. McMahon while Carlito & Chris Masters agreed before hand to remain a team throughout the contest. Various moments include Carlito sacrificing himself while doing a somersault senton to the Chamber floor, Angle german suplexing everyone he could get his hands on, and the teamwork of Carlito & Masters dominating before they divided & were conqured. This is one of those Chamber matches just like SummerSlam '03 in that the purpose was to get a talent over in one match by being so dominate & in this case, it was Carlito & Masters..but it was the aftermath of this match that resulted in in WWE receiving their highest television ratings in years.
New Years Revolution 06
ECW Champion Big Show vs. Bobby Lashley vs. C.M. Punk vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Test vs. Hardcore Holly - This chamber was full of first as this was the first time the ECW Championship was defended in a chamber, first time this match ever happened on an ECW branded PPV, and the first time this was match was converted into an "Extreme" Elimination Chamber which ment that each holding cell held a weapons such as a chair (Punk) & barbed wire baseball bat (Show) & table (Lashley) & Crowbar (Test)...and it turns out this was also be the last & only time an Elimination Chamber would happen under all these circumstances. Before the match, it was revealed that Sabu had been attacked & be unable to compete so he was replaced with Hardcore Holly while Paul Heyman it was made clear that it was Test & Holly's jobs to keep the championship secure for Big Show. Moments during his match include RVD once again showcasing the abilities of "Spiderman", Punk's matchup against RVD that involved his steel chair, Test taking a page out of Carlito's playbook from the previous year when it came to Holly (and the referee botching the count on top of that), Test delievering one hell of an elbow job onto RVD with the end result being the fans chanting "Where's My Refund", and Lashley's dominate performance. This chamber match is more well-known for everything that's happened behind the scenes in regards to the conflicting views of how this match (along with the entire PPV & brand itself) should be booked as it was filled with various disapointments from the crowd such as Sabu being replaced by Holly, the eliminations of Punk & RVD, and how this proabably ended up becoming one of the most predictable Chamber matches in history.
December to Dismember 06
Undertaker vs. Batista vs. Finlay vs. Great Khali vs. Big Daddy V vs. M.V.P. - Taker & Batista started it off & continued their "on again/off again" feud that been going on for the past year throughout the match with everyone else being bodies for Taker & Batista to go though throughout the match & keep them strong. Big Daddy V & Khali were the first two from pods to come out & didn't even make it to the next period with the only thing memorable about their time in the match was Undertaker falling out of the chamber after a Daddy V headbutt that didn't look planned. Other moments to look out for were Hornswoggle creeping out from the bottom of the chamber to hand Finlay the weapon (sorry, cam't remember how to spell it), M.V.P.'s interaction with Undertaker from Taker waiting for his pod to open to his elimination via a chokeslam off the top of the pod, and the final moments with Taker finally getting the victory.
No Way Out 08
Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels vs. J.B.L. vs. Umaga - Jericho & Michaels started until Umaga entered & dominated with moves such as a double Samoan Drop on Jericho & Michaels hitting his Samoan Wrecking Ball to Jericho through one of the pods later in the match. Other moments to look out for here was the old school Jericho/Benoit "Walls Of Jericho/Crossface" combination done by Jericho & HBK onto Umaga, what J.B.L. did after being elminated, Umaga's elimination before Jericho & Michaels got eliminated back to back, and the final minutes between Triple H & Jeff Hardy before Triple H finally got the victory with a pedigree on a chair. Unlike the other chamber where everyone else was just a body to put over Taker & Batista, Umaga was re-established as a "Samoan Bulldozer" & Hardy was still put over strong in defeat.
No Way Out 08
WWE Champion Edge vs. Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Undertaker vs. Big Show vs. Vladimir Kozlov - I feel that this is easily the worst Chamber match they've done because due to the 10 min. period where it was first Kozlov just beating up Jeff Hardy who didn't get in any legit offense before Big Show entered & just joined in taking turns beating up Hardy. Normally, the Chamber match is like how the Royal Rumble or Money In The Bank Ladder Match is where it's just non-stop action but that wasn't the case here as that Big/Kozlov/Hardy period just seemed to drag, got boring, and took the audience (the crowd & me personally) out of it. Eventhough this match had a bunch of fun highlights like the shocking first elimination along with the final showdown at the end, it wasn't a bad chamber match but all the other ones they've done have were better. And for those history buffs, this is the first time in the history of the WWE Championship that it's ever changed hands in some type of official cage match.
No Way Out 09
World Champion John Cena vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Kane vs. Chris Jericho vs. Edge vs. Mike Knox - As the chamber match earlier in the night (or the previous match on this disc) wasn't full of suprises & certain highlights, this one topped it. Various highlights include what happened to Kofi Kingston, John Cena's time (or lack of) in the chamber, and Rey Mysterio being the M.V.P. of the match by putting on his best in-ring performance in over a year with his various "spiderman" moments using the chamber walls & his interaction with Edge throughout the match. This was the best chamber of the night as it had non-stop action from the beginning to middle to the end.
No Way Out 09
WWE Champion Sheamus vs. Triple H vs. John Cena vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton vs. Ted Dibiase - Before the match started, you got a bit of a "chuckle" moment as Kofi Kingston made his way to the ring & checked behind himself to make sure he didn't get jumped again like how he was by Edge the previous year. This Chamber match made history as it was the first time that all six participants where in the match at the same time with no previous eliminations which made for such moments as both Kofi & Cena & Orton performing signature moves over the top rope onto the chamber floor, Randy Orton focusing on Sheamus to the a positive reaction from the crowd, the relationship between Legacy in the match before Cody Rhodes made an appearence that resulted in Ted Dibiase "picking his poision", Kofi in an usual position of being in a boston crab while his head was wedged inbetween the chamber walls of chains, Cena coming out of his chamber swinging, and the back to back to back eliminations before we had a new WWE Champion....before Mr. McMahon appeared after the match resulting in an aftermath that resulted in another new WWE Champion.
Elimination Chamber 10
World Champion Undertaker vs. John Morrison vs. Rey Mysterio vs. R-Truth vs. C.M. Punk vs. Chris Jericho - Before the match got started, you'll notice that Taker didn't do his usual entrance as he powerwalked right to the ring when in reality, a pyro accident caused Taker's jacket to catch fire so he quickly went to the ring. This match was different the previous Chamber match as there were eliminations throughout the match including R-Truth being eliminated before the first chamber opened allowing Punk some time to do more of his "straight edge" preaching. Mysterio was definately a highlight reel here with such moments as performing a frankensteiner from the top rope to the chamber floor & even pulling out a reverse dragon sleeper while having a great "triple threat" interaction between Morrison & Jericho...who also had a good matchup against Taker himself that saw Jericho try to hide in one of the chambers from Taker who eventually broke the door to get at Jericho. In the end, it was another unexpected appearence by Shawn Michaels that led to a new World Champion while also setting up another road to WrestleMania for Undertaker.
Elimination Chamber 2010
In the end, this was just like the previous Hell In A Cell DVD where this is a match that's been built on violence as there is enough "Ouch" & blood on here to satisfy any any fan...and with this being one of the rare WWE DVD's to not exclude Benoit...this is definately a DVD set to get so I recommend.
Finally, a chamber set! July 15, 2010

Hay guys. Im back with more reviews. Now this is my first one in a while, so thanks for reading and please enjoy the dvd of the creation of eric bishoff
Survivor Series 2002-Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. RVD vs. Booker T vs. Chris Jericho vs. Kane
Well, this is one if the best chambers, and it was the first. Now eric bishoff was the one who created this and picked the best superstars of raw, and, well, he did a great job. this had some nice moments like a spiderman moment with RVD and the cage wall, the biggest five star frig splash i have ever seen, the smashing of the pods, and shawn mcihaels winning his first world heavyweight chamionship. 5/5
Summerslam 2003-Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Goldberg vs. Chris Jericho vs. Randy Orton vs. Kevin Nash
Well, really, this was maybe the most dissapointing elimination chamber match i have ever seen. well, like j-man said, this did start off nicely with michaels and jericho, but other than that, it just all went down hill. I mean, orton wasn't really into the big titles here, and i dont even think kevin ansh deserved a title shot. But, the nice and violent dominence of goldberg was very enjoying. 3/5
New Years Revolution 2005-Elimination Chamber match for the Vacant World Heavyweight chmapionship
Triple H vs. Chris Beniot vs. Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho vs. Edge vs. Batista
Well, they had a nice kick to the match when bishoff made HBK special ref to get the game amped up. But, i was surprised when i heard that this match will be fully shown and will not cut benoit. But, other than that, this was overall my favorite elimination chamber match, just great. Some moments like double submisions on the game(walls of jericho/cross face), a flying headbut off the top of the pod from beniot, and, um, how randy orton actually made it to the last 2. Which here, when he was still a rising star, kinda surprised me. But other than that, this was worth watching. 5/5
New Years Revolution 2006-ELimination Chamber match for the WWE championship
John Cena vs. Chris Matsters vs. Carlito vs. Kane vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle
Well, this match actually turned out better than what i thought it would be. This had some nice action, nice domination moments by kurt(who of which had a hilarious promo earlier that night), and the aftermath of the chamber with cena and edge. But, this was only the second time someone retained the championship in the chamber.4/5
December To Dismember 2006-Extreme Elimination chamber match for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship
Big Show vs. CM Punk vs. RVD vs. Test vs. Hardcore Holly vs. Bobby Lahsley
Well, just like summerslam 2003's chamber, this was also kind of a dissapointment, and i mean, there were freakin weapons added to this match. Well, you can tell the crowd hated it, since they all wanted to punk to win and he was the first eliminatied, so you heard some TNA chants and a lot of language. But, of course, there was the domintion from lashely and him surprisingly winning the title from the wooly mamoth big show. So, just like the ppv, this was a fail for a chamber. 2.75/5
No Way Out 2008-Elimination Chamber matches for the #1 contendership to the WWE and World Heavyweight Championship
SD-Undertaker/Batista/Big Daddy V/The Great Kahli/MVP/Finlay
RAW-HHH/HBK/Y2J/JBL/Umaga/Hardy
Well, i was very happy with the turn out of both chambers. But i was mostly impressed with the RAW chamber. The action and moments wer just fantastic, like a swanton from the top of the pod, a chokeslam from the top of the pod, and the game and taker winnign both chambers, but my vote has to go to the RAW chamber.
RAW-4.5/5
SD-4/5
No Way Out 2009-ELimination Chamber matches for the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships
WWE Title-Edge/Hardy/Taker/HHH/Koslov/Show
World Title--Cena/Edge/Knox/Kane/Mysterio/Jericho
Again, i was impressed with both chambers, but, the world title chamber was slow when show and koslov came in. But, the world title chamber was exciting throught the entire match. Especially ending with edge and mysterio. Now edge was the first man to compete in 2 chambers, but to only like spend 15 total minuets in action. But, other than that, i liked some of the highflying moments, like a senton from mysterio to kane from the top of the pod, and hardy delivering a swanton to show from the top of the pod, but again, i gotta go with RAW's chamber, even though a SD star wins.
World-4.75/5
WWE-3.75/5
Elimination Chamber 2010-Elimination Chamber matches for the WWE and World Heavyweight championships
WWE-Sheamus/Cena/HHH/Orton/Dibiase/Kingston
World-Taker/Y2J/Truth/Morrison/Punk/Mysterio
Well, the star power in the wwe title chamber killed the world title, but the aciton for the world title chamber killed the wwe title. Just some normal double teaming from dibiase and orton, and pretty much disecting kofi, like, a boston crab while putting his head throw the wall, and the nice ending with it comeing down to cena and the game and batista. But, the world title chamber had 2 pods broken, some nice highflying action from mysterio and punk, and, well, the "surprise" visit from HBK. But, the world title match was almost great, but the wwe title match kinda just dissapointed me.
WWE-3.75/5
World-4/5
Well, this set is definatly worth picking up and has a surprise with the including of the NYR 2005 chamber and not cutting benoit. Thanks and take care.
