WWE Elimination Chamber: 6 Matches You Must Watch First

3. 2003 Summerslam Elimination Chamber

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-2vQITXEmE "Goldberg" "Goldberg "Goldberg" The 2003 Summerslam Elimination Chamber came from nowhere. Triple H was injured and couldn't really have a one on one match, while WWE felt Goldberg couldn't really have a one on one match so they wanted to hide his weaknesses. They chose to add Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Kevin Nash and Shawn Michaels to the mix and came up with the Elimination Chamber match. The main event of Summerslam in Phoenix, Arizona managed to create a sense of drama and kept the aura of the Elimination Chamber in tact. For a night Goldberg looked like the unstoppable star he was in WCW, a 23 year old Randy Orton gave a performance that would show he was a future main event Superstar and even with a torn groin and some dodgy looking bike shorts Triple H put in performance worthy of himself. The rivalries in the match were certainly a tangled web with Triple H, HBK and Nash former members of the 'kliq' and with Tripl H's Evolution stablemate Randy Orton there was the question whether he would be loyal to HHH or would he go for glory? Then there was Michaels and Jericho revisiting an old rivalry. Filled with many memorable moments, the match was carried by the two men who started in the ring, Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels who rekindled their rivalry from Wrestlemania XIX. Their performances go slightly unsung as many only remember Goldberg's insane moments of tossing Jericho at the structure and spearing him into the glass pod along with him smashing the glass to get to the cowardly Triple H who wanted none of him. Many would think that this was the night Goldberg should have captured the title with him mental rampage through the Chamber, however he would fall to a sneak Triple H sledgehammer attack but he would win the title at the next Pay Per View Unforgiven. Goldberg's path of destruction through the 'Devil's Playground' makes it a must see match in Elimination Chamber history.
