So....anyone thinking Elimination Chamber? (Raw Spoiler)

[Shaggy]

After what happened tonight...looks like Edge, Orton, Michaels and Kahli are all going for Cenas belt now.

Anyone else get that feeling that another person will step forward causing an elimination chamber match at either Judgement Day or Vengeance?

also...

That was a waste of an ending right there...perfect chance to turn Cena heel.

[Dorkchop]

I hope not. They should let that match rest for a year or two.

[Lux]

Don't you normally need six people for the elimination chamber? correct me if i;m wrong but i count five superstars listed above.

[M-A-G]

Well with Mr. McMahon demonstrating his mad main eventing skillz, he's the obvious choice for a sixth guy.

[The Genius]

just when we thought khali had been relegated to HEAT permanently.

yes...but this is only the first week...we still have a few more weeks to add another superstar...

[Innovator]

Little part of me was waiting for a countdown

Stop talking about it, then the WWE might actually do it.

[Corkscrewed]

Nah. They'd see through our reverse psychology and reverse the reverse.

Or some clusterfuck like that.

[Londoner]

Yeah I know, my mind blinded me from reality and got me thinking there was hope.

[chrisat928]

To get them to change Cena,

STOP REACTING TO HIM!!!

Don't cheer him, don't boo him, stay completely silent during his offense.

[Londoner]

They'll still keep him face though, the crowd reaction doesn't matter. Now usually, you want your audience to feel like they're a part of the show, WWE seems to do the exact opposite these days.

[thedamndest]

PUT KHALI IN A HOTDOG EATING CONTEST AGAINST KOBAYASHI!

[M-A-G]

To be fair, the crowd did give Cena a favorable face reaction.

[Theo Dious]

No it wasn't. It would be far better to have Khali be a "secret enforcer" for Cena, so secret that he actually pretends to destroy Cena with all the others. Then when the time comes, Khali sits back and lets Cena win.

I'm telling you, Khali is mesmerised by the spinner. It controls him.

[Ben Rodrigues]

The elimination chamber match sucks. The only decent one was the original but the legitimacy of it went out the window when Van Dam fell into the cage door causing it to open and wrestlers going through so called re-enforced bulletproof glass.

[Linkbowler]

Not an elimination chamber. Leave it five, and put them in A TRIPLE F'N CAGE.

Yes. I'm a total mark for the huge structure.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Umaga could probably step forward as the sixth guy.

I don't really want to see Khali in a WWE Title match, ever, but if it's going to happen, I guess putting him in that kind of environment would be much better.

Since the third Elimination Chamber match, the WWE has forgotten how to book them making any kind of sense. Let's look at the fourth Elimination Chamber:

Kurt Angle being the first guy eliminated was actually a really smart move. Angle was not going to win the WWE Championship, and he had a lot of heat going into the match. Him going before even Chris Masters and Carlito really made all the guys look good.

Then we saw Kane go, and the fans began to get pissed. I wanted Kane to win the match, and just prior to it, there was a huge pull for him to win. I think the reason so many people seemed irritated by this (even in the crowd), was because then there was only one face left in the match. John Cena could not be counted as a face at the time. So there goes the mystery of the match.

What would have been better, would have been for Kurt Angle to go, and then for Kane to Chokeslam Chris Masters, eliminating him from the match. Masters and Carlito were, like them or not, filler for this match at the time. No one really gave either one a hope to win. The best anyone could have hoped for was them to look good, but pad out the match so Kane, Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle looked good. When Angle was chosen to be the first guy gone (a smart move, in my opinion), they should have gone to the hand of Kane and Shawn Michaels pretty quickly.

Unfortunately, we actually saw Shawn Michaels eliminated after Kane, which got rid of the three guys the fans cared about. So we where then left with Carlito, Masters and Cena, and the result was quite predictable. Thank God for Edge.

The most recent Elimination Chamber was just awfully booked. I mean, CM Punk should not have won the match, but like Carlito and Chris Masters in the fourth EC, he should have looked worthy of hanging in a match like that. Rob Van Dam and Hardcore Holly started the match, and then CM Punk came in. Logic would have dictated that Hardcore Holly, being tired, a heel, and without really having a shot at the Title, would be the first guy eliminated.

They then chose to have RVD the next guy gone, and considering the fans only really cared about RVD and Punk, this pissed them off. Punk should have probably been made to outlast RVD, as he was on a roll at this point in time, and RVD had the excuse of being tired. Test could have eliminated RVD second, and then we would have had CM Punk, Test, Big Show and Bobby Lashley left. Bobby Lashley comes in, and he eliminates Test, that much is easy. So we're left with Lashley, Punk and Big Show as the upper tier. Big Show comes in, and he gets taken down by the faces, and Lashley beats him to confirm a new ECW Champion.

CM Punk and Bobby Lashley are the final two, and Punk is too tired, and giving up too much size to Lashley, and he is overwhelmed and pinned to be the final guy eliminated. Sure, Lashley might have gotten a bit of heat for this, but you could have had CM Punk present Lashley with the belt, shake his hand, etc. It wouldn't have been a complete failure, like getting rid of both CM Punk and RVD in the first half of the match was.

So yeah, my point is, if they do an Elimination Chamber, it will most likely be booked backwards. Randy Orton will be the first guy gone, just because he's a douche. Shawn Michaels is on a bit of a high, at the moment, so he would probably eliminate someone, my guess being Edge. We'd then get HBK eliminated, as is the fans' interest, as we are left with John Cena, Umaga and The Great Khali as the top half of the match. Cena eliminates both men, looks like a hero, and no one gives a shit.

[thedamndest]

Khali wins belt at the next PPV. Then each of the main eventers get one on one's with him, but to no avail. So they get him in Elimination Chamber or 6 man HIAC, and are forced to form an uneasy alliance to knock him out. Could be interesting seeing heel Edge work with the already uneasy alliance between Michaels/Cena, throw Orton in as a Tweener, and whomever the sixth guy would be. It would stop them from feuding with each other straight up for awhile. Only problem is that it does involve Khali winning the belt, and I think he needs a manager to make that work effectively. Maybe Estrada starts a new stable? (BTW, where was he on Raw?)

He was still 'out of action' thanks to Lashley
