10 Elimination Chamber Participants Who Never Stood A Chance

(The Undertaker Vs. Batista Vs. Finlay Vs. Montel Vontavious Porter Vs. The Great Khali Vs. Big Daddy V - No Way Out 2008)

Take a look at the competitors and picture a scene where The Undertaker and Batista aren't the final two. You just can't. The Great Khali was World Heavyweight Champion six months before and even he wasn't a contender, so how do you justify the midcard fodder that was thrown in? That's not to criticise Finlay, MVP and Big Daddy V, they were just in over their head. Two of them were coming to the ends of their careers, having enjoyed their heyday way back in the 1990s.

Billed as the SmackDown/ECW Elimination Chamber match, this was the first time the match had taken place twice on the same pay-per-view; obviously this one went on earlier in the show...

Finlay put the work in when it came to being a body in multi-man matches between 2006 and 2009, whether it was on this night, at Survivor Series, or Bragging Rights. He was reliable, but he wasn't going to get close to SmackDown's two biggest stars in the Animal and 'Taker. He pinned MVP, then was eliminated by the Deadman after a valiant effort in one of the worst chamber matches ever.
