Ranking EVERY WWE Elimination Chamber Match From Worst To Best

December To December 2006 as an event was able to offer the worst incarnation of everything wrestling's capable of, and it's contribution to the history of the Elimination Chamber is no different.

Adding weapons to the gimmick to give it an 'Extreme' edge in Vince McMahon's disgracefully mishandled vision of what a modern day ECW product should be, the match was a catastrophe through to the bitter end, when Bobby Lashley would topple an injured and overweight Big Show to capture the brand's Heavyweight Title much to the chagrin of the capacity crowd.

Going into the match, sentimental favourites were the unbeaten newcomer CM Punk, and perennial ECW favourites Rob Van Dam and Sabu, starkly contrasting stereotypical WWE monsters Show, Lashley and Test. In another spectacular troll job on his audience, Vince then booked Sabu to get decked before even entering, allowing Hardcore Holly into the chamber in his place.

As if to drive the knife in further, CM Punk was next eliminated, by last remaining babyface RVD no less.

Van Dam himself was despatched minutes later by Test, who was yet another pariah that represented absolutely nothing the live crowd had paid to see.
