Elimination Chamber 2010 Review

Elimination Chamber 2010 Review : Batista With a Surprise Win




John Cena / Sheamus / Kofi Kingston / Triple H / Ted Dibiase / Randy Orton : Elimination Chamber
As far as chamber matches go , I'd say this is an underrated one . It had all the elements of a great match , such as nice in-ring action and the guarantee of a new champion . It even had the advancement of the Legacy imploding storyline thanks to Ted pinning Orton . The ending with HHH going against Cena was great and was really hard to predict . Cena is able to win the title by making HHH tap to the STF . ***3/4

Cena isn't done yet . Vince arrives and announces that Cena will immediately defend the title against a very fresh Batista .


Batista vs John Cena
One spear and a batista bomb and we have a new WWE Champion . N/R




Kane vs Drew McIntyre
IC Title is on the line here . I think at this point Drew was still undefeated . Kane's headlock approach was strange to see , as he just usually brawls . The match isn't as bad as you may think . Not great but still not bad . Drew wins with his big DDT . **



Maryse & Gail Kim vs Michelle McCool & Layla 
This was supposed to be for the divas title match that no one cared about , but turned into a tag match ..... that even less people cared about . Thank god Gail went back to TNA . She was smart . Michelle pins Gail . This sucked  1/4*



MVP vs The Miz
This impromptu match was made earlier in the night and is for the US Title . Not sure how this match compares to their Royal Rumble match a month earlier , but it was pretty good . Miz even managed to bust his head opened . Big Show knocks out MVP to give Miz the win . **3/4


Time for the big main event .



Rey Mysterio / John Morrison / Chris Jericho / Undertaker / R-Truth / CM Punk : Elimination Chamber
How badass was Undertaker walking through a HUGE flame to get to the ring . Truth is eliminated quite quickly after a GTS . Punk then decides to be awesome and has a mid-match straight edge promo . Mysterio in next and these two have amazing chemistry . Punk is out after a top rope splash from Rey . Jericho in next and he and Rey have always had such great chemistry . Mysterio eliminated with starship pain . Morrison out with a chokeslam on the steel . This is awesome . HBK pops into the chamber and delivers a superkick to Taker and that makes Jericho the new world champ . ****1/2



6.5/10 . This was an enjoyable PPV thanks to the two chambers , but there was nothing really terrible outside of the bad divas match . This did its job and set up Wrestlemania nicely with stories for almost every match on the big supercard .
