Go through any list of "worst WCW match" (or similar) and it's nailed on that you'll find the Chamber Of Horrors listed somewhere near the top. This is entirely fair, as the match is terrible, but that doesn't mean it isn't entertaining.

It was El Gigante, Sting, and The Steiner Brothers against Abdullah the Butcher, 'The Diamond Studd' Scott Hall, Cactus Jack, and Vader. All eight men were crammed inside a steel cage that was way too small for purpose, and struggled to produce any kind of meaningful action, despite the abundance of weapons. There was only one way to win, too - by strapping one of the opposing side into an electric chair and frying them. Yes, literal murder.

A debacle of a stipulation, much of it was captured through the referee-mounted 'Refer-Eye Cam,' with the shaking screen prompting only nausea from those watching at home. It was a trainwreck not only for its absurdity, but for an unfortunate mishap that saw the electric chair's 'on' switch flip before the finish, which meant Cactus was forced to quietly shift it back to its original position, before electrocuting Abdullah for an accidental loss.
