10 Worst WWE Superstars To Ever Wrestle In The Elimination Chamber

10. Carlito (New Years Revolution 2006)

The list begins with a few superstars who are not bad wrestlers, per se, but simply ones who never rose to the hallowed heights of main event status and therefore seem out of place whenever thought of competing inside the demonic structure.

Carlito is a perfect example. Debuting on the main roster in October 2004, he seemingly had all the tools to become a major player in WWE. He won the United States Championship in his very first match (defeating John Cena, no less) and became very popular with the WWE Universe for his 'Carribean cool' demeanour and easy charisma. He was then drafted to the Raw brand in 2005, defeating Shelton Benjamin for the Intercontinental Championship in his first match on that brand.

It's obvious that WWE saw big things in Carlito's future, so in 2006, his inclusion in the Elimination Chamber match against the likes of Cena, Shawn Michaels, Kane and Kurt Angle didn't seem so suspect. WWE even booked Carlito to eliminate Michaels from the match, take part in eliminating Kane and get down to the final two against Cena! He also eliminated the sixth competitor, who won't be named now, as he will make an appearance later on this list.

So why did Carlito never solidify his status as a top-tier player in WWE? Through a combination of his out-spoken criticism of WWE's backstage politics, dissatisfaction with the booking of his character and a general reputation for being unmotivated, Carlito was released in 2010 for a violation of WWE's Wellness Policy.
