10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE Elimination Chamber

1. The Undertaker Wanted To "Kill" The 2010 Pyro Guy

The Undertaker might have idiotically once suggested modern locker rooms needed more grizzled old miseries with “guns and knives” these days, but his murderous rage with the Elimination Chamber 2010 staff was somewhat understandable.

They were nearly responsible for his demise, after all.

Speaking on The Broken Skull Sessions about the time he was nearly fried alive on pay-per-view, ‘The Deadman’ said;

"Despite all that water, every time I look down, my skin is bubbling up more and more…I'm trying my hardest to stay focused and I'm also thinking in my head, 'I am about to kill this pyro guy.' I'm usually a very forgiving and understanding person. But a couple of weeks prior, I had a conversation with the pyro guy and told him, 'look, the pyro burst is too close. I'm starting to feel it. I said let's back them out.'"

He wasn't listened to, and the infamous accident on the pay-per-view left him rooting for water bottles to try and deal with the immense pain and discomfort as he got inside his pod. Having the flames blast him in the face was bad enough. Seeing the problem coming a fortnight earlier made the whole thing all the more egregious.
