WWE Elimination Chamber 2012

(1/1)

PinoyCruger:
Everyone, as this is the final WWE PPV before the show of shows WrestleMania XXVIII, I want to talk about this death-defying cage that is so intense that can even punish every part of the human body, and this year, this demonic structure created by the mind of former RAW general manager now TNA personality Eric Bischoff is now turned a decade (or should I say ten years).

This structure is called... the Elimination Chamber.

The chamber is also called the 'Devil's Playground' and of course, 'Satan's Structure'. Made from its cold steel and the structure itself is 16 feet (4.9 meters) high, 36 feet (11 meters) in diameter, weighs over 10 short tons (9,100 kg), and compromises 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) and 6 short tons (5,400 kg) of black-painted chain. Each inner chamber (or pods) consisting of three large steel framed sheets of plexiglass. Rules of this match are as follows, two participants begin the bout in the ring as the remaining four are held within each inner enclosure and are released into the match at five minute intervals. The objective is to eliminate each opponent from the match via pinfall or submission. The winner is the last remaining participant after all others have been eliminated. The official song this year is Nickelback's 'This Means War'.

Here are some of the matches that can even amazed and awed at you when you watch. And of course that could be great for my opinions.

· First up, it's the WWE Championship match as CM Punk defends the title against The Miz, Chris Jericho, Dolph Ziggler (the show-off), R-Truth and Kofi Kingston. I heard Booker T is claustrophobic like our pretty boy idol. Punk's entrance is amazing and he's clean shaven, wow. As the match follows, the chamber is turned into a weapon as Ziggler enters the chamber attacking Punk. I saw a mid-air collision between Punk and Kingston, as if like two truck colliding in a Texas road. R-Truth enters and attacks Ziggler until Truth springboards Ziggler into the cold steel floor. Punk delivers a superplex on Truth and it was eliminated. Thiz Miz is next and attacking Punk. Then at last Jericho enters the battle as the last man. As he uses his Codebreaker, Ziggler's eliminated. After Kingston delivers a big splash on Punk and Miz, Jericho uses his submission manuever, forcing Kingston to be eliminated. Punk kicks Jericho outside the chamber and the cameraman's hurt, as a result, Jericho was unable to continue the match. As the match continues, Miz and Punk continues to battle it out, and when the smoke clears, Punk retains the title... and STILL the best in the world.

· Looks like the Divas Championship is going to be good indeed as the Glamazon defends her butterfly title against the daughter of WWE HoF (Hall of Famer), Tamina Snuka. After Tamina gives a superkick and a superfly splash, Beth still can't give up. Later on as the match progresses, the Glamazon still the champ.

· Intermission is started as John Laurinaitis is going to make a 'major' announcement. But wait, Alberto Del Rio is back with a 1985 Excalibur Convertible car as he plans to take over as GM, but Mark Henry told that Teddy Long is a 'bully'. Christian's back, even better, and he told that Laurinaitis will become SmackDown GM. As Otunga takes a picture, it will be a time to change for the future. Man I sick of Cole's comments on Laurinaitis.

· Next up, the WHC match as Daniel Bryan defends the title against The Great Khali, IC champ Cody Rhodes, Santino Marella, the champ Daniel Bryan, the master of the 'Barrett Barrage', Wade Barrett and the Big Show. Match progression is impressive, and Barrett's crashing in the steel floor. Later on after the first five minutes, Rhodes enters the battle with Show and Barrett with his techniques. Cole called Rhodes a 'anti-Undertaker' as the match progresses. Second man to enter the battle is Santino as he is on fire. Progression of the match is continues as I thought, as Barrett and Rhodes uses a suplex on Show through the steel floor with intense strength. Later on the Punjabi Giant (or the Punjabi Nightmare) enters the battle as after Show uses a gigantic spear as he eliminates Khali. Like a angry bear, he breaks the chains of the pod as he creates a hole and he's out there to after Bryan. As the feud continues between the two, Show destroys the pod with such force like a battering ram. Show's eliminated and Rhodes too by Santino. WOW. JUST WOW. After Santino eliminates Barrett, Bryan and Santino were the final two men to battle it out for the WHC, but in the end, Bryan managed to defend the title after he gives a Lebell Lock on Santino. This WHC match is epic indeed. After the match, Sheamus came in to after Bryan after he made his choice. Intermission time as Hornswoggle loves cheese as Natalya rushed in to the restroom.

· As orders from GM Teddy Long, Jack Swagger defends his US title against the high-flyer from Cape Town, Justin Gabriel, accompanied by who? Hornswoggle! I am sick of Vickie's shouting. Gabriel's high-flying abilities and Swagger's powerful strength were showcased until Swagger retains the title with a ankle lock.

· Can the Cenation Commander-in-chief embrace the hate? For the first time in nearly a decade, an ambulance match is occured as John Cena battles Kane. When was the last time the ambulance match is started? Survivor Series 2003. And what's his opponent in this match? Shane McMahon. No DQs, no count-outs, no pinfalls, and no submissions, but the only way to finish your opponent is to force into the back of an ambulance and close the door. As the match begins, the two unleash hell outside the ring as the two battled it out. As the feud continues, Cena struggles to catch his breah and for the first time, the ambulance could be used as a weapon, and the wheelchair too. The tables have turned for the two as Cena takes the rage on Kane as he targets Kane's brain with a mic, a monitor on the Spanish announcer's table, and steel steps. Meanwhile, Kane delivers Cena a thunderous chokeslam onto the Spanish announcer's table. As the tables turned like flipping a playing card, Cena turns the tables again as he continues to attack the Big Red Machine, and when Cena climbs towards the roof of the ambulance, he uses the AA on Kane to fall down as Cena wins the match. And now, he managed to overcome the hate.

Final thoughts: I think this PPV is a ugly one but no offense it's still good. I feel happy for the ambulance match and the SmackDown Elimination Chamber match but I feel bad for Jericho right now.

So everyone, we have to wait for six weeks to the show of shows. Mark the date: April 1st (2nd in Manila) for WrestleMania XXVIII. And remember, save some money on Mania snacks and drinks.

My review in a nutshell:

[*] Surprised at WWE Title match coming first. Jericho with humiliating way of being eliminated. CM Punk still Best in the World.
[*] Divas match didn't feel like a Divas match. Beth is still Divas Champ (who wants to call her Super Beth?).
[*] Ticked at Khali's immediate elimination. Big Show could've won if he's not so glued to D. Bryan. Pitying Santino for being so close but missed main-eventing WM for the second time in a row. Liking that Shaemus is giving D. Bryan what's coming at him.
[*] Expecting Gabriel to lose, despite wanting him to win. Overall, could've been more exciting.
[*] Cena-Kane Ambulance match was intense, but lacking the emotional feel. Cena-Barrett at TLC 2010 was more exciting, IMO.

Overall: Good, great, but not the best. 8/10 just because of good main events.
