The Elimination Chamber takes place at 1am on Monday morning
(UK time) live from the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Let’s take a look at the contenders.
Smackdown – World
Heavyweight Championship
This has erm...a very interesting (?) lineup.
Daniel Bryan (Current
Champion)
Record: First
time
Daniel Bryan has been the best thing on Smackdown with his
very scuttle heel turn. Bryan at the minute is a person who uses his head as
well as his technicial skills to get out of very tricky situations. It will be
hard for him as he is effectively stuck in a cage with 5 other wrestlers, including
2 7-foot giants. However, I think that he will find some way to prevail.
Chances of winning:
Very high
The Big Show
Record: 0-3 Eliminations: 3
The Big Show, while unsuccessful in his 3 matches, has the
most experience in this match. He can use that to his advantage. However, Bryan
has gone into his head and Show needs to focus on winning the match and not
just on Bryan if he wants to be successful.
Chances of winning:
Possible
Wade Barrett
Record: 0-1 Eliminations: 0
Wade Barrett took part in the RAW Elimination Chamber last
year so has some experience. However, while I think that he will be a World
Champion in the near future, I can’t see him winning it this time.
Chances of winning:
Potential dark horse
Cody Rhodes
Record: First
time
Cody Rhodes aims to be the first person since The Ultimate
Warrior in 1990 to be the Intercontinental Champion and World Champion. Like
Barrett, I think that he is a potential dark horse and a possible World
Champion. However, maybe not this time.
Chances of winning: Potential
dark horse
The Great Khali
Record: 0-1 Eliminations: 0
The Great Khali is a former World Champion like The Big
Show. However, he is not very mobile and because of that, he is very limited.
Khali was my pick to be the first eliminated until I saw what happened last Friday.
Chances of winning:
No chance in Hell
Santino Marella (?!)
Record: First
time (gee, wonder why?)
I know that I have been very critical of Santino being
anywhere near this match and it’s nothing against him. I know that he’s a
popular character due to his antics, but do you really see him as a main event
player?! I pray to God that either someone takes a leaf out of Edge’s manual: “How
to be the Ultimate Opportunist” and takes Santino’s place; or he is the first
one to be eliminated. If Santino lasts more than 10 minutes, I will be
surprised and very pissed off.
Chances of winning:
What the fuck do you think?! No chance in Hell!
RAW-WWE Championship
Thankfully, the RAW Elimination Chamber looks like a more
exciting contest, with the most experienced wrestlers.
CM Punk (Current Champion)
Record: 0-3 Eliminations: 3
CM Punk knows what he is up against having been in 3
previous matches. It will be tough for him but I think that he could prevail.
Chances of winning:
High
Chris Jericho
Record: 1-5 Eliminations: 8
Jericho has been in, not only the most Elimination Chambers,
but also has the most eliminations with 8. While there are other wrestlers who
have taken part in this kind of match, Jericho is the only one that has
actually won an Elimination Chamber (with help from Shawn Michaels). I think
that it will be either Punk or Jericho who will be victorious but I’m torn over
which one.
Chances of winning:
High
The Awesome One AKA
The Miz
Record: First
time
It’s been tough for The Miz recently, being (weirdly) blamed
for the lower than expected buy-rate for Survivor Series and also being winless
since the turn of the year. As I’m a big fan of The Miz, I hope that he will
get some wins soon. Unfortunately, barring a major upset, that won’t start at
this match.
Chances of winning:
Slim
Dolph Ziggler
Record: First
time
I love Dolph as he is a great wrestler and an enjoyable entertainer.
Along with Barrett and Cody, Dolph will be World Champion one day (I don’t
count him being rewarded the World Heavyweight Championship last year for11
minutes). However, I can’t see him winning it this time
Chances of winning:
Slim
Kofi Kingston
Record: 0-1 Eliminations: 1
Kofi is a possible dark horse in this match. I think that
his time will come and he could do well in this match. However, I don’t think
that he will be successful.
Chances of winning:
Potential dark horse
R-Truth
Record: 0-2 Eliminations: 0
I have liked the insane (in a good way) R-Truth and it would
be interesting to see where WWE go with that kind of person as the WWE
Champion. However, I don’t think that will happen. How about the US
Championship instead?
Chances of winning:
No chance in Hell
