10 Biggest Disappointments In WWE Elimination Chamber History
3. Cancellation Of The PPV
Despite the impression this article may be giving, on the whole the Elimination chamber PPV has been a pretty solid event - which is why it was a massive disappointment when the show was once again dropped from the calendar in 2016.
This time, though, unlike in the previous year, there wasn’t to be any hastily-arranged compensatory show shoehorned into the PPV calendar. Instead, we had our first year since 2007 without any Elimination Chamber action.
It was later revealed that the logistics of transporting and accommodating the Chamber were the main reason behind the show’s cancellation. In an appearance on the Wrestling Compadres Slamcast, Stephanie McMahon spoke about difficulties of hanging the Chamber in arenas with scoreboards positioned above the ring.
I suppose you can’t argue with such issues, but that doesn't change the fact that, given how important the Elimination Chamber has been in helping to promote WrestleMania, it was a major blow to see the show scrapped from the schedule altogether.
