Elimination Chamber 2014 Sammelthread

Die Matchcard gefällt mir schonmal sehr gut, da kann man wirklich nicht groß meckern. Alle Matches haben mehr oder weniger einen Aufbau vorzuweisen. Hoffentlich werden die sechs Pay-Per-View Matches auch genug Zeit bekommen. Der Pay-Per-View hat das Potenzial, nach mehreren Monaten in der Benotung mal wieder ein "sehr gut" zu bekommen, wenn man nicht viel falsch macht.

Allerdings besteht immer noch die Möglichkeit, dass man noch kurzfristig beim PPV selbst, ein 0815 "Total Divas" Match oder ein Mixed Tag Team Match zwischen Santino Marella & Emma und Fandango & Summer Rae auf die Card klatscht.

Beim Pre-Show Match darf man wohl gespannt sein, ob es hier zum Split der Rhodes Brothers kommen wird oder nicht. Sollte hier nichts passieren, dann kann man wohl davon ausgehen, dass man sich den Split vorerst noch aufheben und erst kurz vor dem SummerSlam bringen wird.

- It's said that whatever was planned creatively for tonight's WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view has not changed from this past week until late Saturday.

- There's been talk of adding another match to tonight's WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, possibly a Divas match.

One possibility is Cameron vs. AJ Lee for the Divas Title. Shortly before Friday night's SmackDown, WWE posted the following "#IAMWITH" graphics on AJ and Cameron's Facebook pages. The images were deleted after the SmackDown broadcast.

For what it's worth, Natalya noted on Twitter that she was training and preparing for Elimination Chamber.

WrestlingCorner.de berichtete bereits vor einigen Wochen, dass der Spot von Christian im WWE World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match bei WWE Elimination Chamber 2014 noch nicht ganz sicher ist und die WWE einen Angle in Betracht ziehen soll, wonach "Captain Charisma" noch vor Beginn des Matches beim WWE Elimination Chamber 2014 Pay-Per-View durch einen Angriff eines anderen WWE Superstars, möglicherweise durch Brock Lesnar, - backstage oder auf dem Weg zum Ring - verletzt wird und verletzungsbedingt ausscheidet, während der Christian-Angreifer schließlich seinen Spot im Elimination Chamber Match einnehmen soll.

Nun wird in einem Update berichtet, dass laut aktuellem Stand vom gestrigen Samstag, der besagte Elimination Chamber-Angle mit Christian noch immer von den WWE Offiziellen in Betracht gezogen werden soll. Weiter wird berichtet, dass falls sich die WWE Offiziellen tatsächlich für den besagten Angle entscheiden sollten, dann soll Brock Lesnar auf keinen Fall der Christian-Angreifer sein, der dessen Spot im Match einnehmen wird, sondern ein anderer WWE Superstar, da Brock Lesnar laut aktuellen Planungen der WWE erst in der RAW Episode am 24. Februar 2014 zurückkehren soll.

Zwar ist bislang nicht bekannt, wen die WWE in diesem Fall den Spot von Christian geben wird, spekuliert werden dürfen aber bereits Namen wie Kane, Rob Van Dam und Chris Jericho. Während Kane aufgrund der aktuellen Authority-Storyline sowie seiner derzeitigen Differenzen mit Daniel Bryan gut ins Match passen würde, könnte auch Rob Van Dam den Platz von Christian im Elimination Chamber Match einnehmen, denn auf die Twitter-Frage eines Fans, wann er denn wieder zur WWE zurückkehrt, antwortete Rob Van Dam vor wenigen Tagen, dass er schon sehr bald zur WWE zurückkehren wird, allerdings nicht heute ("Soon, but not today!"). Auch Chris Jericho brachte sich vor wenigen Tagen mit einer Meldung in den sozialen Netzwerken für einen möglichen Auftritt bzw. einer möglichen Rückkehr bei WWE Elimination Chamber 2014 ins Gespräch:

Mick Foley, who has been very outspoken about WWE's creative direction in recent months, took to Facebook to write a letter to the sports-entertainment organization concerning tonight's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event:

"DEAR WWE,

Please, please, please, please, have a great show tonight.

As a fan of pro-wrestling – have a great show.

As a father of four who has ordered every PPV for the past year – have a great show.

As the guy whose big Christmas present to his family was a family trip to New Orleans for Wrestlemania, even though he knew he wasn't likely to appear on the event – have a great show.

On behalf of all those other dads or moms who have done the same thing; spent considerable money on an event that thus far is not capturing our imaginations – have a great show.

As a Disney fan who wouldn't want to arrive at the Magic Kingdom just to find out all his favorite attractions were closed – have a great show.

As someone who still remembers how it felt to be 18 years old and see Jimmy Snuka dive off the top of the cage - to see the magic pro-wrestling was capable of creating - and knows you have the ability and personnel to make people feel that same magic - have a great show .

As the estranged son who still loves his WWE family, and, no matter what, in some strange way, always will – have a great show.

Sincerely,

Mick Foley"

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross is back with a new blog on jrsbarbq.com. As always, you can purchase JR's BBQ products on WWEshop.com. Here are some highlights from this entry:

An 'average' PPV tonight won't be acceptable to those involved in the production and execution of the event. Momentum comes from logical, surprises from creative and stellar performances inside the ring.

With absolutely NO inside info on tonight's show, here are my uneducated guesses on the outcome of The Elimination Chamber:

Orton retains the WWE World Title but I'm still not sure that it will be Orton vs. Batista at WM30.

Curious to see how many talents from the Elimination Chamber main event become involved in issues that carry them into WM30. Where John Cena and Daniel Bryan head out of tonight's PPV is of interest to me.

Because the Shield seems to be simmering on internally boiling over, IE Roman Reigns going it alone at some point, I'm picking the Wyatt Family to win the 6 man tag.

Batista will dominate Alberto Del Rio.

Jack Swagger provides Big E a solid win in defending the IC Title which is tepid at this point in time. I hope these two former amateur wrestlers have the time to raise some eyebrows.

It might be a good night to see the Usos win the Tag Team Titles over the New Age Outlaws unless that title change is saved for WM30. Nonetheless, I'm leaning to the Usos winning in Minny.

Traditional thinking would have Titus O'Neil beating his former tag partner Darren Young. Not sure that happens but I'm still thinking that O'Neil cheats to win.

In the pre show match, I've got the Rhodes Brothers winning over (likely) hometown hero Curtis Axel and Ryback.

Dusty Rhodes, who sired both Cody and Dustin Rhodes, and Dick Murdoch were one of the most underrated tag teams, the Texas Outlaws, that I ever saw in my career and did some of their best work in the AWA which was headquartered in the Twin Cities. Some of that work came versus Larry 'The Axe' Henning, Axel's grandfather, and the great Harley Race as Henning and Race were another, simply amazing tag team.

Hopeful to hear some saucy info and opinion from the panel of all stars tonight including Mark Henry, Rey Mysterio, and the newly married Miz.

The Elimination Chamber needs to leave the air tonight with more questions than answers and a few, timely surprises. In other words, in the 'old days' ambitious bookers would make a major statement or two on the last show on PPV leading into the biggest event of the year which is also obviously on PPV.

My old pal Jerry Lawler texted me w/ no surprising info in that he did NOT pack a jacket for his Memphis to Minneapolis trip today. The King is the toughest man that I know when it comes to enduring weather and refusing to not "live the gimmick" of never wearing a jacket.

The Elimination Chamber isn't about wins and loses to me but more about continuing to build momentum to WM30 via the tune in factor Monday night of the WWE's loaded RAW from balmy Green Bay that's loaded with star power.

For those wondering, there's no talk of CM Punk, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker or Jimmy Hart being backstage at Elimination Chamber this afternoon. Hogan, Hart and Taker were all scheduled to fly into Milwaukee today for tomorrow's RAW.
