I've wanted Jeff Hardy to go main event since when I was a young mark in like 2000. But yea, I will agree I'm caught up in the hype. Hardly deluded myself about it though. I'm not suggesting him to be in or even win the chamber because I personally like him, but because it makes sense for a variety of reasons

I just think realistically, creatively, and quality wise Jeff Hardy participating in an elimination chamber is far better. Same goes for Raw. It just makes more sense. Like I said, it's mainly because of how thin Smackdowns roster is. It can't fill an elimination chamber without resorting to...garbage like Khali, or illogical picks (given current or forseeable circumstances) like Chavo.

On Raw, assuming that Orton and say..HHH are fueding for the title, you'd still be able to have the elimination chamber consist of Jeff Hardy/HBK/Jericho/Kennedy/JBL/Umaga

You make a good point that I was actually considering while writing my earlier posts, about Test Holly and Masters being in elimination chambers. You're right really. They're not much better than Chavo. Except that in the first twos cases they were tops on their brand, as shitty as that is, and it was exclusive to that brand. At the time Masters was being pushed.
CM Punk and Orton were far more logical picks than Chavo, but yea.

With that being said, that's why I think it's important to have a strong list of guys in this chamber. The last elimination chamber was a catastrophe. They need to restore it's credibility really. The first 2 or 3 elimination chambers were pretty elite. The last 2 were a stretch to say the least.

Also, theres nothing to say it can't be split brand. Just because it's for the shot at the other title doesn't mean it has to be all guys from that show.
It could easily be something like...
Hardy/Jericho/HBK/Kennedy/Batista/Rey
