10 Best One-Liners From WWE Elimination Chamber 2015
"Tonight, the champ's buying the beers".
Corpus Christi is not exactly what you’d call an archetypal wrestling city. In fact, in recent years it’s gained a degree of notoriety for being one of the quietest crowds on the circuit.
Whether that’s due to poor acoustics in the American Bank Centre, a youthful base of fans in the local area or a sheer lack of enthusiasm—either way, at the 2015 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view it was another rather muted showing from the Corpus Christi faithful.
But while the crowd fell short on the volume front, the WWE talent did not.
Of course, a consequence of this was that we heard a number of moves being called by the guys in the ring—something that I’m sure will keep Maffew of Botchamania well-occupied in the coming days.
But we don’t want to focus on that today. Instead, we want to draw attention to some of the more entertaining mutterings of the performers—both inside the ring and out.
This article looks to do just that, as we round up some of the best one-liners to come from wrestlers and commentators alike at the 2015 Elimination Chamber event.
10. "He Still Doesn't Own An Iron"
We kick of this list with an entry from the pre-show, and more specifically from JBL on commentary.
As Daniel Bryan made his way to the ring for his appearance on Miz TV, JBL made this rather derisory comment about the state of Bryan’s attire. It may only have been passing remark, but its nuances like this that help develop characters and add to the story being told.
In six short words we told a great deal about that snootiness of JBL’s persona, thus reaffirming his heel status. And we’re also reminded of one Daniel Bryan’s most endearing qualities—he’s one of the most down to earth guys in the business.
Sure, he didn’t come out dressed to the nines in a suit, or donning his latest piece of merchandise, but that’s not what Bryan is about. Coming out in his slightly scruffy, everyday attired makes him all the more relatable as a performer, and reminds us all of one of the many reasons why we love Daniel Bryan so much.
