Elimination Chamber 2015

The tag team chamber is going to be fucking amazing. I am legit excited for that, i havent watched in a couple months but ill watch this show. I want to see Every match on this card. I have only fan investment for the matches at face value, so ill enjoy it much more not knowing the storylines, ill be able to suspend disbelief and get behind Owens, Ambrose, Barrett, and PTP winning.

Some new matches are added. It's kinda bad when a quickly added in Network only PPV is better than their last main one.

Neville vs. Bo Dallas

Womens Title Match
Nikki Bella vs. Paige vs. Naomi

But then, there wasn't al that much that was special in the last one. They've got some potentially amazing matches on this one, not least because of the chamber itself. I'll be watching it live, so I may even put up match by match review if you're lucky.

Predictions:

WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match
Seth Rollins (c) vs. Dean Ambrose

Elimination Chamber for the Vacant Intercontinental Championship
King Barrett vs. R-Truth vs. Ryback vs. Sheamus vs. Rusev vs. Dolph Ziggler

Elimination Chamber for the Tag Team Championships
The New Day (c) vs. Cesaro and Tyson Kidd vs. Los Matadores vs. The Prime Time Players vs. The Ascension vs. The Lucha Dragons

Kevin Owens vs. John Cena

Bo Dallas vs. Adrian Neville

WWE Divas Championship Match
Nikki Bella (c) vs. Naomi vs. Paige

I'm looking forward to Owens/Cena and the both Chamber matches. Going for a Ryback IC Title win just because he works hard and I think he deserves a singles title. Pretty sure he's the only one in the Chamber yet to win one.

I should apologise now as i am drinking whilst watch/writing this.... :-D

Pre show

Zack Ryder vs Stardust

 Zack ryder, the ultimate underdog, gives a good account of himself although the outcome is pretty much a given. None the less a good match with both Zack and Stardust gaining the upper hand at different points. A couple of pretty big spots. For the first match on the pre show, it bodes welk fir the rest of the show. 7/10

Miz TV

Well it's nice to see D-Bry back in the ring, and it's great to see him say he will be back. And for the record, i love the meta mega powers! :-D

Main show

Tag Team Elimination Chamber match

 Ok, what can you say? Absolute spot fest! Great match I thought, but disappointed with the result. Still every team worked hard and gave a fantastic account of themselves. I was particularly impressed with the prime time players who gave an unacostomally strong performance. I think they could finally be getting their push. Anyway. Good match, some awesome spots with both callisto and el torrito (!?) climbing the cage. 8/10

Divas championship match

Oh god, it's the divas..... well at least naiomy didn't win it. Still, generally pretty boring. Paige is by far the best wrestler in the division at the moment but they just don't seem to want to give her a chance at the moment. Ah well... so Nikki retains. 4/10

Kevin Owens vs John Cena

Ok, I am genuinely impressed with Kevin Owens, and even more surprised that he actually won! What a great match and fair play to Mr Cena too, they both worked well and hard. The areal repertoire of Kevin Owens is especially impressive. I really think we have a future word champ here. A strong 9/10

Bo Dallas vs Adrian Neville

A hard slot after the last match but there we go. Let's see what they can do.... Well, it's a slow match with relatively little interest so JBL really starts to spout his usual shit... someone please fire him... Anyway.... The match. Well, not as exciting as previous Neville matches but then I've been unconvinced with Bo Dallas since i first saw him on the main roster. Still not too bad on the whole. I'll just reiterate again that JBL needs to go... 6/10

Intercontinental Title Elimination Chamber match

With Rusev out we have mystery replacement, and he is Mark Henry! So, shit just got real! We all know who else is in it so i won't spell it out for you. 
Surprisingly quite a tame match. Not much use of the cage after Barrett was eliminated  and very little crowd response apart from Zigglers elimination. Ryback manages to keep the crowd going a bit but it all seems a little flat. Even so, everyone seems happy the big guy won. I dunno... this matchstarted well but petered out towards the end imo. 7/10
Nice touch with D-Brys endorsement too. If he's forced to retire I hope he becomes GM!

Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose for the WWE Heavyweight Championship

Oh i do love it when Dean takes the piss! It allowes us to take the piss more out of Seth. And my word does he take himself seriously.
Dean is definitely proving he's a tough SoB and i will admit to being surprised at how little interference is going on in this match. He needs to increase his repitoir mind... still, what he does is effective and entertaining. Ok, I'm writing this as I'm watching and now I'm in shock! Oh my Lord, Dean's only gone and won it! Heh, i love the mess here, glad deans at least got the belt but the fallout is gonna be interesting. 

So after 4 hours, 3 beers, a couple or rum n cokes, a nice dram of whiskey (white n macjay special for those who are interested; -) ) we have a new intercontinental champ and new world champ (in theory), Raw should be quite interesting this evening.

I loved the show, if purely for the fact that Owens/Cena and Rollins/Ambrose were both great matches.

Owens looked great. He pulled off moves I didn't even know he could and he got a CLEAN victory over Cena. It can't be understated how rare that is, and on his debut too! They both left it all in the ring and I'm looking forward to the rematch at Money in the Bank in two weeks.

Rollins/Ambrose finish was expected but still an entertaining end to the show. Ambrose will definitely get the title one day I think, but it won't be for a while, especially if Lesnar returns for SummerSlam like everyone is expecting.

Both Chamber matches were pretty good. The Tag Chamber was unique and they actually used a lot of the Chamber - really annoys me when I watch a Chamber match that has little actual interaction with the Chamber. The IC Chamber wasn't as good as the Tag one, but still pretty good. The crowd went flat and that certainly didn't help but it was passable. I'm glad Ryback won, he deserves a singles title after all the time he's been in WWE without one.

Why Nikki Bella is still Divas Champ, I have no idea. She should have dropped it months ago. Sooner that happens, the better.

Dallas and Neville was OK but we all knew Neville was going to win, rendering the match fairly pointless and just filler.

Again, that Owens/Cena match was great and definitely stole the show and the main event was great too, capping an overall pretty good show.

Why Nikki Bella is still Divas Champ, I have no idea. She should have dropped it months ago. Sooner that happens, the better.

I bet WWE wants Nikki to beat AJ Lee's longest reign as Divas Champ.

I love how good they made Kevin Owens look. I absolutely hate it when you know how good a guy can be, but WWE just put them in there and only allow them to do a few moves and don't show them to be anything other than mediocre - like we've seen so many times. Owens looked great though... maybe that will be one of the huge positives of NXT? Only time will tell I guess as we see more people make the step up. Owens though... man can he do some impressive moves for a guy of his size. My mate had never seen him before and was shocked. I've enjoyed a lot of his matches in the past, but this has to be one of my favourites of his.
