It takes an awful lot to demotivate one of the best minds in professional wrestling, and this was that show for Paul Heyman. The Chamber contest was certainly not helped by losing Sabu to injury beforehand and replacing him with Hardcore Holly, but that was the least of the issues here. Fan favourite on-the-rise CM Punk was eliminated first in a move that spit in the face of a Heyman who had pushed for Punk to win the bout. Then, the only true ECW Original, Rob Van Dam was eliminated third, leaving WWE products Test, Big Show and Bobby Lashley as the remaining competitors.

The decision to crown Lashley as the ECW World Champion was the nail in the coffin for the old ECW and the birth of WWECW. Even with the added weapons thrown into the match, nothing could save this from being the worst Elimination Chamber match of all time.
