WWE RAW Review: The Elimination Chamber Go-Home Show
This match should get an entire episode of Botchamania. This match was awful in every conceivable way. I know they wanted to show Mark Henry being a monster by destroying another monster but damn, Khali is terrible. This felt like an amateur improv night at the local YMCA. Most of the match was spent in the corner, while both men waited for the other to chop them in the chest. I couldnt even comprehend how bad this was until I tried watching it again. I never thought Id say it, but hell, keep Khali in Jobber Karaoke and dance segments until the end of time if it means I never have to witness him wrestle ever again.
Post-match, Mark Henry inducts another member into the Hall of Pain: Hornswoggle. It works for the most part and it lead to another amazing DATS WHAT I DO scream by Mark Henry.
BACKSTAGE SEGMENTTeddy Long and Booker T tell Chris Jericho that he can have a spot in the Elimination Chamber if he can beat Daniel Bryan. Teddy Long then made some sort of country music joke that made no sense. We then join Paul Heyman and Vickie backstage as they call Vince McMahon. Paul Heyman wants a stipulation that if the Rock gets DQd (which always makes me think of Dairy Queen) or counted out, he will lose the title. Vince agrees to these stipulations. This segment put over Heyman as he used HEEL TACTICS to try to get Punk the title back. The only the segment did for me was assure that I need to download a Vince McMahon Soundboard App for my phone because that SHUUUUTTTTTTT UPPPPPPPPP was epic.
FANDANGO VINGETTETheyve been teasing Fandango now for what seems like four seasons of Dancing With The Stars. Im all for cheesy gimmicks as long as they dont begin to wear thin (sorry Brodus Clay, but you should probably stop being a dancing dinosaur now). However, I am not a fan of calling him Fandango. To me, Fandango will always be the movie ticket service that I can use. That would be a gimmick I could get behind. Have him come dressed as a movie ticket taker or concession stand worker. His finishing move could be called OUTRAGEOUS ONLINE FEES UNLESS YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE AMC STUBS PROGRAM IN WHICH CASE THEY WILL WAIVE THE FEES.
