In any given occurrence, the Elimination Chamber is supposed to take six top stars and put them all in the ring together, battling it out for a rich prize. Of course, during the days of the brand split, there weren't always six top stars on a given roster. That meant that some stars who, well, aren't quite stars have ended up in the esteemed bout.

The likes of Vladimir Kozlov and Santino Marella were pretty bad, but the arguably the worst of the worst was Mike Knox. At the 2009 No Way Out show - mostly remembered for Edge losing the WWE Championship in the opener and winning the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event - Kelly Kelly's jealous boyfriend got his shot at greatness. He was in that main event match, closing out the PPV and getting a chance to become a World Champion.

Ultimately, Knox was ineffective. He was the fourth man in the match and eliminated nobody before falling to Chris Jericho's Codebreaker.
