5. The First MITB Cash-In - New Year's Revolution 2006
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_2H6vIZR4g New Year's Revolution 2006 saw the fourth Elimination Chamber match take place in Albany, New York. It also saw the debut appearances of Carlito, Chris Masters, Kurt Angle and John Cena inside the demonic structure. In more of the more shocking facts to come out of the match, Carlito equalled Goldberg's record of eliminating three men in one Chamber match. However, it was the events of after the match that made this a memorable moment. Cena had lasted over 28 minutes inside the structure, and when he pinned Carlito, it appeared as though The Dr of Thuganomics would leave the Pepsi Arena as the WWE Champion. However, Edge had other ideas. Having held the Money in the Bank briefcase since Wrestlemania 21, The Rated R Superstar, in the blink of an eye, transformed into the Ultimate Opportunist. By hitting two spears on Cena, Edge won his first World Championship and shocked the world. In one fell swoop, Edge embarked on his main event career, all thanks to the toll that the Elimination Chamber match took on John Cena. If nothing else, we have the Elimination Chamber to thank for The Rated R Era.
