6 Ups And 8 Downs From WWE Elimination Chamber 2015
Downs...
8. Breaking Up Is Dumb To Do
Twice during the Elimination Chamber matches, we saw something that defied common sense: we saw wrestlers breaking up pinfalls that didnt affect them. Both Tyson Kidd and Mark Henry broke up pin attempts in an elimination match (and no, Cesaro was not the one being pinned in the tag team chamber match). This makes no sense, as it prevents one of your opponents from being eliminated. If nothing else, a wrestler should be cheering them on then immediately going for a pin on that wrestler once hes eliminated his man. In Henrys case, he stood around and watched Barrett hit Wasteland before breaking up the pin, making it even more head-scratching. File this under one of those logic gaps in professional wrestling. Its not the worst thing, but if you noticed it, it definitely should bother you a little.
