10 Wrestlers Who Had No Business Being Inside The Elimination Chamber

For a guy who spent four years with the company, Mike Knox's WWE tenure was rather forgettable. He had size, sure, but other than that, there wasn't anything else about the guy that stood out as special. His mic skills were nonexistent and his in-ring ability was decent at best, so it's a mystery as to why he was around for as long as he was.

He kicked off his career as a member of the revamped ECW brand and although he had no involvement with the treacherous Extreme Elimination Chamber in December 2006, it'd be another few years before he'd step into Satan's Prison for the first time.

For whatever reason, WWE had a renewed interest in the Knox character in late 2008 and decided to move him to the Raw brand. Immediately upon his arrival, he began a feud with Rey Mysterio that he found himself on the losing end of. Despite that, his mini-push led to him getting a spot in the 2009's Raw Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship.

To say Knox was out of place among the likes of John Cena, Edge, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio and Kane would be an understatement. It wasn't long after that he was back to being an enhancement talent and ultimately released.
