Wwe: Elimination Chamber 2010 [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Elimination Chamber Match: WWE Champion Sheamus vs. John Cena vs. Triple H vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton vs. Ted Dibiase - Before the match started, you got a bit of a "chuckle" moment as Kofi Kingston made his way to the ring & checked behind himself to make sure he didn't get jumped again like how he was by Edge the previous year. This Chamber match made history as it was the first time that all six participants where in the match at the same time with no previous eliminations which made for such moments as both Kofi & Cena & Orton performing signature moves over the top rope onto the chamber floor, Randy Orton focusing on Sheamus to the a positive reaction from the crowd, the relationship between Legacy in the match before Cody Rhodes made an appearence that resulted in Ted Dibiase "picking his poision", Kofi in an usual position of being in a boston crab while his head was wedged inbetween the chamber walls of chains, Cena coming out of his chamber swinging, and the back to back to back eliminations before we had a new WWE Champion....before Mr. McMahon appeared after the match resulting in an aftermath that resulted in another new WWE Champion.

Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre vs. Kane - Both men's usual wrestling styles are slowpaced which made this match not do a good job of following the previous match. Drew did attempt to tell a story by working over Kane's arm with various armbars & using the single arm DDT while he also went on the defense of taking some bumps from the ring to the floor but this match was just really too dull & dry for my taste to the point where it's just a boring filler for me.

Gail Kim & Maryse vs. Michelle McCool & Layla - This was originally suppost to be the tournament finals for the vacant Divas Championship however due to some negative words said towards the SmackDown divas backstage before the match, Vickie Guerrero changed this to a tag team match. This was a match strickly to put over a storyline more than anything else as this was a glorified handicap match as Maryse refused to tag into the match leaving Gail Kim all alone against Team LayCool who's numbers were just too much for Gail Kim in another boring filler.

United States Champion The Miz vs. M.V.P. - This was their Royal Rumble rematch & just like the Rumble, this was put together at the last minute but the different this time being that their tag team partners (Mark Henry & Big Show) were in their corners. M.V.P. was out to punish & hurt Miz more than winning which saw him be very aggressive and pull out some moves I haven't seen from him before such as a Kurt Angle-like belly to belly superplex that tossed Miz from corner to corner and even had Miz bleeding (at least they didn't stop the match this time). Miz brought his game as well & even executed his own variation of Chris Jericho's "codebreaker" after catching M.V.P. in the corner before Big Show & Mark Henry got invovled leading to Miz retaining his championship. This was easily better than their previous match at the Royal Rumble & definately the best match on the undercard as this didn't come off as a filler.

Elimination Chamber Match: World Champion Undertaker vs. John Morrison vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio vs. C.M. Punk vs. Chris Jericho - Before the match got started, you'll notice that Taker didn't do his usual entrance as he powerwalked right to the ring when in reality, a pyro accident caused Taker's jacket to catch fire so he quickly went to the ring. This match was different the previous Chamber match as there were eliminations throughout the match including R-Truth being eliminated before the first chamber opened allowing Punk some time to do more of his "straight edge" preaching. Mysterio was definately a highlight reel here with such moments as performing a frankensteiner from the top rope to the chamber floor & even pulling out a reverse dragon sleeper while having a great "triple threat" interaction between Morrison & Jericho...who also had a good matchup against Taker himself that saw Jericho try to hide in one of the chambers from Taker who eventually broke the door to get at Jericho. In the end, it was another unexpected appearence by Shawn Michaels that led to a new World Champion while also setting up another road to WrestleMania for Undertaker.

DVD extras include a post match interview with Chris Jericho, Edge making his WrestleMania announcement on RAW, and highlights of the issues between Shawn Michaels & Undertaker. This was one of those PPV's just like how Royal Rumble was where the main attraction match were the highlights of this PPV as the only other match worth watching is the Miz/M.V.P. match with the other two being boring fillers. Just like the Royal Rumble, this is worth a rental but if your a big diehard fan of the Elimination Chamber matches then go ahead & pick this up if you got a few spare bucks.

This was a very nice and solid ppv, i thought that both chamber matches lived up to expectations. Well thanks for reading and please rate.

Elimination chamber match for the WWE championship
Sheamus vs. John Cena vs. Triple H vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase
This was a dissapointment. When i saw the participants in this bout, i thought that this match would be a classic, but all this did was just dissapoint me. Orton and DiBiase pratically dissected Kofi Kingston. All hope was gone in this match for this match when Orton was the first one eliminated. This match never matched expectations until it came down to the game and the white rapper they call John Cena. I was a little happy until Mr.McMahon called for the next match on this card. 3.25/5

WWE chamionship
John Cena vs. Batista
This was just another screw job to the WWE and was pure domination from Batista, all this was just for Batista helping McMahon with attacks from Bret Hart. This match SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! 1.5/5

Intercontinental championship
Drew McIntyre vs. Kane
This match was a little of a surprise. This match was had some dirty work from McIntyre and some huge ground and pound from Kane. This match could have been better but the WWE was just really misusing Kane here, why would they put McIntyre to beat the former WWF champion Kane, but anyways, this match was alright, but could have been better. 3.5/5

WWE Divas championship
Gail Kim vs. Maryse
This match was changed into a just terrible match.

Le Cool vs. Maryse and Gail Kim
This was, you know what, no comment. no rating.

United States championship
The Miz vs. MVP
This match was actually enjoyable. This had some pretty nice moments and was back and forth for some moments. But this ended up with The Loser, the miz to get another cheep win. But this match is watchable and is pretty solid. Nicely done. 3/5

Eliminaton chamber match for the World Heavyweight championship
Undertaker vs. Chris Jericho vs. R-Truth vs. CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio vs. John Morrison
This match i thought wouldn't live up to expectations, but i was wrong, this was better than the WWE title chamber earlier that night, but was evenly matched with last years world title chamber. This was very good and was hardcore at some times. Some huge moments like the 2 pods being smashed, another is the chokeslam to morrison on the steel, and another is the shocking, yet predictable ending with a sweet chine music delivered to taker. I really did like this match and thought it couldn't be any better. This was enjoyable and does have OH MY GOD! moments, very well done by all superstars and well played out by each and everyone of them. 4.5/5

Over all, this was a very nice ppv, well, mostly for the chambers, but other than that, the ppv stinks, but this is recommended(only for the chambers).

ELIMINATION CHAMBER 2010

1.[ELIMINATION CHAMBER WWE TITLE]SHEAMUS VS JOHN CENA VS TRIPLE H VS KOFI KINGSTON VS RANDY ORTON VS TED DIBIASE-excellent opener right here that was also the first time all six participants made it into the match without an elimination. There is of course many great moments in the match but the big story here was the relationship and eventual lack of one between Legacy members. Everyone looks great here but it is Cena that eventually wins, also Kofi gets it the worst. But the celebration would not last long as Mr. McMahon came out and made a match on the spot, Cena versus Batista. Cena got a punch in but The Animal would maul him and take the title after a Batista bomb.

2.[I-C TITLE]DREW MCINTYRE VS KANE-to me this match felt like it was something that we could have gotten on Raw or Smackdown. It wasn't a bad match but it felt like a TV match and not a PPV one. Drew did well here working over Kane's limbs and Kane used his size to his advantage. But Drew would keep the belt in a decent match between the two.

3.GAIL KIM & MARYSE VS LAYCOOL-this was supposed to be a match between Gail and Maryse as it was the finals of a tournament for the Divas title. But because of some comments made about the Divas on Smackdown it became a tag match against Smackdown's Laycool. But it would really be Gail Kim against Laycool as Maryse refused to tag in. once again another decent match but it could have been better.

4.[US TITLE]THE MIZ VS MVP-this was a good match in which both participants had their tag partners here, and getting involved of course. Still great match between these two with back and forth action with a slight edge to Miz. In the end it would be Miz standing tall after Show helps him out, good match.

5.[ELIMINATION CHAMBER WORLD TITLE]UNDERTAKER VS JOHN MORRISON VS R-TRUTH VS REY MYSTERIO VS CM PUNK VS CHRIS JERICHO-another good chamber match but this one seemed more like past ones with eliminations happening at random times. I remember watching this and being surprised when Punk was eliminated early. Still like the previous one every one gets a moment to shine and prove why they were in the match. The match comes down to Taker and Jericho and they battle it out for a while until HBK comes out. Of course you all know he cost Taker the match after some sweet chin music. Naturally I loved the ending here since Shawn is my boy.

Special featuers include an interview with Jericho after his win, Edge making his Mania pick, and a video about HBK and Taker.
