7. Whole Lot Of Nothing

We’ll dish out some kudos for the tag team Elimination Chamber match in a bit, but for a match that supposedly has a lot going on with 12 wrestlers involved, this year’s edition featured a lot of inaction.

Ask yourself what happened during the first five minutes between New Day and The Usos. Nothing. It was a very dull segment, followed by Lucha House Party running wild for a good while.

We saw a lot of repetition, with tag partners beating up one guy and both men dogpiling him, only for the fallen man’s partner to save. This must’ve happened a half-dozen times during the chamber match.

There were just too many spots like that, or people laying around for 3-4 minutes at a time, for this to be rated a really good match. There are some praise-worthy moments, but the men’s EC earned some criticism as well.
