10 Worst WWE Elimination Chamber Entrants Ever

Size only goes so far: just ask The Great Khali. Wobbly on his feet and incapable of performing even the most basic of wrestling moves, the big Indian was frankly rubbish during both his Chamber appearances.

2008 was forgivable because Khali retained some presence as a headliner. Things had changed dramatically by 2012 though. By then, the giant was more of a comedy act, one that couldn't work a lick or cut a promo to save his life. Worse, he was also replacing Mark Henry, a man who was one of SmackDown's hottest heels at the time and tailor-made to kick ass in the match.

Khali was a crap substitute, and WWE knew it. At Elimination Chamber 2012, he entered fifth and was eliminated first by Big Show following a spear. In a match also involving Santino Marella, Khali should have been more high profile.

He wasn't, and his inclusion was useless.
