Guest JMA Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Most people know that I missed most of 2002 (including Katie Vick and Al Wilson). I also missed the whole Elimination Chamber thing. Could someone tell me what exactly the rules of the chamber are? I'd also be thankful if someone could give me a description of the chamber itself. Thanks.

Fökai 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Since I'm a bit lazy, here's a proposition: If you have AIM, I could send a mp3 of Bischoff (at the Survivor Series) describing the rules of the Chamber. At that point in time, most of the rules were still unknown to the fans. I would also send over screenshots of the chamber itself. PM me if you want to go this route.

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 I'm somewhat less lazy, so here it is... - The cage is a round, solid steel structure with a roof, that fits around the ring. The roof is somewhat low, so off-the-top-rope moves are harder to perform (as RVD and HHH found out last year when RVD crushed HHH's throat trying to do a Five-Star). - Two men start in the ring, the other four are locked in small cages in each corner. - Every two minutes (or whatever time interval they use), one of the cages is unlocked, and that man joins the match. This continues until all 6 men have entered the match. - Eliminations are caused by pinfall or submission only. - The last man left in the match wins the World Cliqueweight Championship.

If it was level with the apron the floor would be vertical. Random idea: they should have a match in a carnival fun house, with the gerbil wheel and moving-panel floors, and strobe lights.

Guest JumpinJackFlash Report post Posted August 20, 2003 You know what the funniest thing is? In May, the WWE said the Stretcher match was the most brutal match. In June, it was the Hell in a Cell. Now, its Elimination Chamber. Sooner than later, we'll see the MOST BRUTAL match in WWE, The Coal Miner's Glove match! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Oh, that's right...RVD tried to do the Five-Star off the top of one of the individual cages, not off the top rope. No danger of that from anyone in this match... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted August 20, 2003 You can come off the top rope. The roof isn't that low. The reason Van Dam had a hard time was because he came off of one of the individual chambers, not off the top rope. EDIT: Damn, beaten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JumpinJackFlash Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Speaking of the EC match, I think it will be shorter than the first one. Let's say 25 minutes? Because the last one was 40 minutes and had better wrestlers. Plus, Summerslam has more matches than the Survivor Series 2002. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 I wish people would stop tripping off of the bullet-proof glass thing. The panel itself didn't break, it came out of its housing on the side of one of the chambers. Completely different than someone going through it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2003 Thats not true. It might have come out of its housing, but it broke too. There were a couple different moves that went into the glass. Oh, and if you've never seen it before, you'll be shocked at how cool it is. It's definitely the coolest gimmick match in the WWE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
