5. Every Match Was Given Time
Far from being just one awesome moment, Elimination Chamber featured many. On occasion, WWE have had a propensity to rush through matches on Pay-Per-View, only really meaning that a select few have any real impact on fans, which is surely not the way it should be, at least not on a special event. There should always be a difference between the card of Monday Night Raw and a Pay-Per-View, but that hasn't always been something WWE could claim. Elimination Chamber achieved that particular goal however, because every single match felt weighty and purposeful. Even the pre-show battle between Stardust and Zack Ryder had substance. Let's not get carried away, the event won't live forever in the annals of time, but it was a very solid show. With the regularity of these Pay-Per-View events, maybe that's all people can really ask for, but there are certainly worse ways WWE could be going about their business than consistently putting on watchable events. This should be the template for every Pay-Per-View, matches which have time to sink in with fans.
