How the mighty have fallen.

There was a time in WWE history when the Elimination Chamber concept was up there with Hell In A Cell and Money In The Bank ladder matches as one of the best gimmicks going. The decision to turn these ideas into standalone shows has steadily diluted their importance over the years, but the Chamber can still be valuable under the right circumstances.
