10 Worst WWE Superstars To Ever Wrestle In The Elimination Chamber

3. Vladimir Kozlov (No Way Out 2009)

Following his recent feud with John Cena (in which, regrettably, he lost three out of four PPV matches), it is hard to imagine that there are many fans or wrestling industry observers who would deny that the ‘Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev is the real deal. He is undoubtedly destined for main event status in WWE sooner rather than later and his talent is there for all to see.

Now, try to imagine a Russian monster heel gimmick like Rusev's...only played by someone with little to no charisma or microphone skills and no aptitude for wrestling. This person, sadly, is no mere abstract hypothetical creation. He was Vladimir Kozlov, was employed by WWE from 2006 to 2011 and even managed to make it into the Elimination Chamber match at the No Way Out PPV in 2009.

Kozlov made his Smackdown debut on April 4th 2008 and quickly rose through the ranks, mostly by decimating local jobbers. To the surprise of pretty much everyone, he was then quickly thrust into the WWE Championship picture, which culminated in the Chamber match. His lack of experience was badly exposed and he was eliminated second, following a Last Ride from The Undertaker. He never again got anywhere near the WWE title.
