WWE ELIMINATION CHAMBER

Sunday, February 20th, 2011 from Oakland, California

ALBERTO DEL RIO vs. KOFI KINGSTON: I missed this non-title match, but Del Rio won. Remember when this ppv used to have the first Elimination Chamber match go on first?

EDGE vs. REY MYSTERIO vs. THE BIG SHOW vs. DREW MCINTYRE vs. WADE BARRET vs. KANE: Epic and awesome. This was the best WWE match since the Smackdown TLC match in December. It was fast paced and was pretty brutal. Barret and Mysterio both got tossed through the plastic pod door causing a loud crash that the audience loved. Mysterio also got tossed head first into one of the pod walls. The ending had Mysterio and Edge left and both kicked out of a ton of finishing moves before Edge speared Mysterio in mid-air and won. Smackdown is a terrible show, but this was a masterpiece. **** (out of ****)

BOOKER T. & TRISH STRATUS: These two, along with 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, are hosting the new Tough Enough show. They more or less talked to the audience and it was awful. What's up with all the filler on this show?

SATINO MARELLA & VLADIMIR KOSLOV vs. HEATH SLATER & JUSTIN GABRIEL: The Tag titles changed hands...but are there any other tag teams on RAW? Gabriel's finisher is great. When he stood on the top rope ready to deliver is double flip maneuver the crowd was oohing and aahing. That's about it. *1/2

VICKI GUERRERO & KELLY KELLY & LAYCOOL: Dolph Ziggler was fired on Smackdown. That was the reason The Big Show was in the first chamber match. Teddy Long re-hired Kelly Kelly, who beat down Vicki. Then Laycool came out and Trish Stratus and it was a sloppy mess.

THE MIZ vs. JERRY 'THE KING' LAWLER: Very dull. There wasn't one surprise on this show which was kind of sad. *1/2

JOHN CENA vs. RANDY ORTON vs. JOHN MORRISON vs. KING SEAMUS vs. CM PUNK vs. R. TRUTH: A little too slow compared to the terrific first chamber match. CM Punk got stuck getting out of his pod and was thus beat down and pinned so the RAW GM let him re-enter the match. Morrison climbed up the ceiling and dropped down onto Seamus. That was the highlight. Cena won after pinning CM Punk. The crowd was pretty dead for this match. It was good but nothing special. **1/2
