10 Wrestlers Who Had No Business Being Inside The Elimination Chamber

Having made its WWE debut in 2002, the Elimination Chamber is one of the most demonic matchups ever constructed. It features six Superstars dueling it out inside several tons of caged steel, all for the glory of being world champion.

As cool of a concept it may be, it shortens the careers of competitors who step inside it. Even wrestlers have talked openly about how it legitimately hurts and the damage it has done to their bodies in the past; it isn't a match to take lightly, that much is for sure.

In fact, some of the most memorable matches and moments in WWE history have taken place inside the Chamber since its inception, but not every installment of the match has been perfect. While it oftentimes involves only the toughest and fiercest talents WWE has to offer, there's always a few undeserving names who slip through the cracks.

Let's face it: R-Truth has virtually no chance of walking out of the Elimination Chamber this Sunday as Intercontinental champion, so why bother putting him at all? Shockingly enough, this will be the fourth time he steps inside Satan's Prison, he a prime example of a wrestler who either didn't earn their way into the contest or simply had no business being a part of it to begin with.

Always an impressive looking specimen, Chris Masters had the build of a typical WWE Superstar, but certainly not the skills inside the ring or on the mic. Granted, he'd improve over time, but not at a fast enough rate to justify the push he was getting straight from the get-go.

In embarking on an undefeated streak and locking up with some of the Raw's roster most notable names, he quickly ascended the ranks in WWE. His grueling Master Lock submission hold also went unbroken for close to two years, though he never racked up any championship gold in either of his two stints with the company.

One of his first (and last) championship opportunities came at the 2006 New Year's Revolution pay-per-view when he stepped inside the Elimination Chamber for the WWE title. Shortly beforehand, he and Carlito formed an alliance in an effort to take out every other competitor involved in the match.

Although he fared well for himself, he still felt very much out of place inside Satan's Prison. He wasn't ready for the spotlight so early in his career and it surely didn't help him out in the long run; it was the last WWE title shot he ever received and the final time he'd compete in a Chamber match.
