Before leaving 2010 alone, it'd be remiss not to look at the curious story of Ted DiBiase Jr for a moment. Back then, Teddy was one of WWE's brightest prospects and was gearing up for a WrestleMania feud against ex-mentor Randy Orton. The build for that continued inside the Chamber, but it did next-to-nothing for the match.

DiBiase smashed Orton with a lead pipe and watched as John Cena eliminated him. Seconds later (less than two, in fact), Ted found himself pinned by Kofi Kingston. His big moment boiled down to WWE seeking a cheap way to eliminate Randy so he could save some face, and was less about making DiBiase look strong.

Months later, Ted worked a watered-down version of his father's 'Million Dollar Man' gimmick and couldn't be further away from main events. That shocking turn at Elimination Chamber? It turned out to be insignificant when it should have launched Ted's career.
