Elimination Chamber announced

[Guest HartFan86]

RVD vs. Jericho vs. Booker vs. Kane vs. HHH vs. HBK for the World Title. We finally get RVD vs. HBK...awesome.

 

Discuss away...I think given the right booking, this thing has huge potential.

[Guest Army Eye]

I missed the announcement.. so.. it's basically nothing like Wargames then? Damn.

[Guest Angle-plex]

It sounds good, but that means RAW's undercard will be:

Snow vs Nowinski

Test vs Random Jobber

Trish vs a woman

 

::shudders::

 

Plus I think we all know who will be winning.

[Guest GameCop]

I missed the announcement, too. Does it involve a cage? Hell in a cell? what are the stipulations?

[Guest packwingfn]

Bishoff said its gonna have elements from Survivor Series, Royal Rumble AND Wargames *big pop*....so it should be interesting!

 

Im psyched

[Guest Insane Clown Dan]

IF there is a new world champion, it'll probably be Kane... ::yawn::

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Now, The WWE is on to something.

 

Do.....Not.....Fuck.....It.....Up.

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

I smell an RVD title run.

[Guest GameCop]

AWESOME! I'm ordering Survivor Series right now.

 

Oh, and you know what? The match will probably be an hour or more!!!!!!!! Brock vs. Big Show will be a mere 5 minutes or less, hopefully.

[Guest midnight_burn]

Provided this isn't just away for HHH to go over every top contender at once this should be quite good.

 

This certainly makes me interested in Survivor Series, but you just know the WWE will screw this up somehow.

[Guest GameCop]

I think HBK will win it all. It'll be the start of his comeback that will probably culminate at WrestleMania in a retirement match.

[Guest GameCop]

Something tells me that Stephanie will try to "one up" Bischoff by having a TRIANGLE LADDER MATCH: Edge/Rey vs. Los Guerreros vs. Angle/Benoit

[Guest evenflowDDT]

HBK? Bah... I hope not, he should only be in there to put over somebody else. I think Booker should come out on top and become a 6 TIME, 6 TIME, 6 TIME, 6 TIME, 6 TIME, 6 TIME WCW CHAMPION~!

[Guest edotherocket]

I LOVE IT! I smell a title change for sure. Not unlike Taker dropping the title at Vengeance without being pinned, HHH can lose here and keep his precious heat.

 

I'm going for RVD to win this one. Kane and HHH can fight in to the back and leave the others to perform.

 

Very good potential.

I'm assuming the Royal Rumble aspect of the match will involve the guys being picked at random as to order. Two guys start, another one enters every few minutes thereafter.

 

Should be interesting to see if they include the submission aspect of Wargames or if it's just going to be an elimination style match. If that's the case, then I'd expect Triple H to go over HBK just to lose to RVD (or at least that's what I define as logical booking ... no clue as to what the WWE deems as such).

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

I said it in the Raw thread, but it looks like a way for HHH to go over 3 or 4 guys at once who are more over than he is

[Guest chirs3]

I hope to God this signals the beginning of a Booker T or RVD title run, and Shawn in there makes sense, since he can cost Triple H the match after he's eliminated. So Triple H technically never lost, since Michaels fucked it up, but it finally gets the damn title off him.

[Guest dpac]

2 rings??? i hope so

[Guest Trivia247]

just another Chamber of Horrors sanz the fake Electric chair.

 

Probably another Hell in a Cell...this will be the first year to have more HIAC matches...

[Guest bcu1979]

Before anyone gets too excited about some big title change, look at this RAW and see how RVD, Booker and Jericho were portrayed.

 

RVD was involved in a pointless 3 minute tag match that he lost and was never seen again.

 

After Jericho and Christian's skit was the high point of last week's RAW, they get no mic time tonight and are made to look extremely weak against a team that never existed before tonight.

 

Booker T played a bit part in a PRELIM feud between Snow and Nowinski.

 

The WWE has two weeks to establish RVD, Booker and Jericho as legitimate threats to the title. Does anyone really believe anyone but Triple H, Shawn Michaels and Kane will be really be pushed hard in the next two weeks? Think RVD or Booker will get a pinfall victory over Triple H? Think Jericho will get a pinfall victory over Kane?

[Guest DJ Jeff]

When I heard what this match was going to be, and who was going to be in it, I said right away that I was gonna be ordering the Survivor Series. This is where HHH will lose his precious World Title, to hopefully RVD, Kane, or HBK.

No.

[Guest Human Fly]

After Jericho and Christian's skit was the high point of last week's RAW, they get no mic time tonight and are made to look extremely weak against a team that never existed before tonight.

 

What was the deal with that? I was expecting Jericho to pullout a gun and shoot Jeff Hardy, and then he would kick out at two.

 

I have high hopes for this match, but when it was pointed out that HHH, Kane, and HBK have gotten all the hype it kind of came as a buzzkill. Hopefully they do a better job next week. I'm hoping Booker T., Jericho, or RVD win it. But I'm not holding my breath. I wouldn't mind it if HBK won it, or giving it to Kane wouldn't even be so bad. So basically that's everyone but HHH.

[Guest AfricanAmerican]

Finally, a little unpredictabilty in the main event?

[Guest Breetai]

nice way for trips to lose the title without jobbing or putting someone over. Of course he'll win it back the next night in a total squash and make his opponent look like a total jobber.

[Guest The Old Me]

If a face wins the belt at SS, they may just be fed to Steiner. At least, if Steiner is on RAW, which he should be.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Problem is it's Elimination.......so someone has to pin HHH. Probably will be HBK or RVD.

[Guest mach7]

It's an elimination match. If he loses, he has to job it to someone.

 

This match sounds a lot like Wargames w/o teams. Each man enters after a certain amount of time, etc.

[Guest Brian]

I can't believe people are missing this. It's almost right out of 1997; Michaels superkick misses Triple H and hits Kane, ala SummerSlam.

[EL DANDY~! 0]

But remember, that also led to HBK taking his patented shitkicking at the next PPV, and then REALLY getting the shit kicked out of him in HIAC. So I'm loving that finish...except for HHH winning, of course. And it's 1996, dood.

 

On top of that, just think about this for the first two to start out...HBK vs. RVD. I'm not saying that will work, but it will certainly be interesting. Chances are it's gonna be Booker vs. Jericho, and then RVD, Kane, HHH, and HBK. HBK comes out last, and this is going to be elimination style, so that means we get to see this go on for a while. WarGames 92 this wont be, but chances are, with the talent involved (sans Triple H and Kane) this could be really good.

 

EDIT: I just realized this. WHAT DOES WARGAMES NEED TO WORK? A 2-on-1 beatdown in the beginning. Face vs. Heel, and then the heel gets the next entry and they do the beat down until the next face comes, and so on. But we only have two heels....ummmmmm, shit.
