WWE: 10 Wildest Elimination Chamber Moments

7. It's What He DOES

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIBQql51Jaw 2013 Chamber For #1 Contendership to the World Heavyweight Championship (because WHC Alberto Del Rio was wrestling The Big Show that night, and not defending in the Chamber; Punk faced The Rock in singles action, so there was no Chamber match for the WWE title either) Five men lie spent in the ring, while Mark Henry pounds sweatily on his pod. He paces back and forth within the confines of the small space, getting increasingly fired up, and in turn firing up the audience. When the clock finally starts counting down to his entrance, the anticipation mounts. He bursts from the pod, delivering blows to each of the wrestlers as they approach. Within seconds, he dispenses with Daniel Bryan using a World's Strongest Slam. Next, he thrusts Randy Orton into a pod, with Orton's face exploding against the lexan along the way. Kane approaches, and manages to get in some offense before a mid-air catch from the top rope is translated into another World's Strongest Slam. It's awesome! Good-bye, Kane. Swagger and Jericho try to double-team the dominant behemoth. Their joint suplex onto the steel grate has a sickening impact. As Henry recovers, Jericho turns on Swagger. He hops to the ropes for a Lionsault, and is surprised to find himself in the grip of The World's Strongest Man! Mark Henry has popped up like a nimble slice of bread from a toaster, and hurls Jericho into the walls of the Chamber. "THAT'S. WHAT. I. DOOOOOO!" declares Henry, as he then throws Jericho onto Swagger in the ring. In what was otherwise a forgettable Chamber match with less at stake, Mark Henry's strength and athleticism gave it a big match feeling. It takes finishers from all three remaining men to pin him, and the crowd is totally engaged because it was such a huge feat. When he sneaks back in to slam everyone in sight, it's the cherry on top.
