WWE Elimination Chamber: 10 Worst Matches Ever

2. Elimination Chamber #2 - SummerSlam (2003) SUMMERSLAM 2003

Chris Jericho vs Shawn Michaels vs Randy Orton vs Kevin Nash vs Triple H (c) vs Goldberg (World Heavyweight Title) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRMGd5_2fq4 It's a wonder quite how WWE managed to screw this one up as badly as they did. Let's just bypass the bit-parts quickly. Kevin Nash & Randy Orton (in his very first PPV match, by the way) were there to make up the numbers, Orton as an ally of Triple H in Evolution. Michaels and Jericho were there to be the workhorses, starting the match and lasting most of the way until the finale and then you had Goldberg who had come into WWE hot 4 months prior, after much anticipation and the reigning heel Champion whom every man and has dog would have drop the belt to Goldberg in this high-profile, Summerslam main event. True to his form, Goldberg had yet to taste defeat since entering the company, as it should've been. Building on the success of the first Chamber match, all the pieces were set to swap your top strap in a major way. That's not what WWE did. They did it all right until the very end. Goldberg came in last and completely destroyed and eliminated Orton, Jericho & Michaels in a matter of about three minutes before turning his attention to the Champion, Triple H, cowered as he was in his pod which he had yet to leave. What should've happened is Hunter would make a small comeback attempt, before being overwhelmed and dropping the belt, it's all anyone in that arena and the 415,000 people who bought the event wanted to see. Instead, as Goldberg's set to spear him for the finish, Flair tosses Hunter his devastating sledge hammer, Hunter hits Goldberg once in the head and beats him. Just like that. One hammer shot and every last shred of momentum ripped away from Goldberg. They tried to rectify the problem at the next month's Unforgiven PPV, when Goldberg did beat Triple H clean in a regular match but it was too late. The live crowd were dead for that match, they remained lukewarm at best for Goldberg's 3-month title run, before he dropped it, was booed out of the building in a match against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 20 and hasn't appeared once in WWE since. What a failure. What a flop. Every bit of it the result of that one sledgehammer shot to Goldberg's head during Elimination Chamber #2. The match became completely pointless.
