    A very predictable PPV, leading to a very predictable main event at Mania. At least the rest of Mania should be great.

    The matches were good tonight, but when you already know the outcome of every single on of them, no matter how great they are, it's less impactful.

      I have to agree with this to a large extent. For me the exception was the SD chamber. You knew who was going to win thanks to the WM buildup, but I found it very exciting.

      I was realllly hoping that there would be a swerve and John Morrison would win the chamber. We've seen a Morrison/Miz match can be very exciting. A Cena/Miz match isn't as compelling for me...so now Miz will sneak attack Cena viscously for 4-5 weeks and then Cena gets payback + a tiny feud between Rock and Cena? Please don't.

      Also what was the point of almost every other match? Tag Team? Okay you have it on a decent heel team...but who is going to oppose them? There are no compelling tag teams right now. Kofi vs Alberto? Unless we are setting up some future title feud, I didn't really care. Trish's hot bod...yes please just not when I am paying $45 unless you care to add in some adult content (and I can still get it cheaper at a local sleaze shop).

      And then there's the Miz vs The King...well I will give them props..they worked the match..sold it well and quite frankly it was the best non-chamber match IMO...doesn't say much, but there you have it.

      The chamber matches were good, but it's almost like the WWE has forgotten how to make things unpredictable and interesting. Morrison is hot right now and they don't seem to have much for him to do. Hell a Punk/Morrison feud seems much more interesting then Orton/Punk. We will see what comes out of Raw tonight..but the more I think about it the less I like it.

      BTW: I am calling it now: Morrison MITB winner this year.

        I just don't see any way that Cena DOESNT beat Miz at Wrestlemania, and that's a shame, because WM matches should be the most unpredictable.

          The Chamber matches were really good as matches. Very good. Just stupid finishes. Honestly. Edge and Cena win? I really think its time to do away with the February PPV. I know it'd never happen, but we've figured Edge/Del Rio (and I guess Christian?) and Cena/Miz (even though I still think that's really, really dumb) at WM for weeks now.

          Kofi and Del Rio was a good match too. Miz and Lawler? Meh. Glad that's over.

          Loved Punk in the EC. With the punching of the ground, the Orton pose while looking at Orton on the top rope, all his actions otherwise. Just great. I can't imagine how or why this guy isn't main eventing Wrestlemania.

          The rest of the show? Terrible. Booker stumbled on sentence after sentence, and word after word. He's garbage. Trish? She looks like a dude now. Looks like she had quite a bit of plastic surgery done on her face. And she's garbage on the mic.

          Vickie? Vickie, Vickie, Vickie. That crap with Teddy, Kelly, and the chicks had absolutely no place on an event that people paid money for. I don't know how anyone could say people only hate Vickie's character while they ACTUALLY hated Waltman. I hate Vickie personally. She can't act, she can't speak properly, she's annoying on-screen, she's just an irrelevant mess every single time she steps out there. It really is quite embarrassing. I hate wondering this, but her presence in the company MUST be "compensation" for Eddie, right? Has to be. It is utterly inexplicable. She makes it absolutely painful to watch Smackdown. If only the fans in the arena gave no reaction when she came out, maybe the WWE would get it.

          Again, I would be thrilled if they left the space between RR and Wrestlemania just for build-up. This was a PPV just to have a PPV.
          Everybody is garbage, to let you tell it.

            I don't see why Morrison would need MITB, and that's if they even have it at WM this year. Someone like Bryan, McIntyre, or maybe a Swags repeat is more likely IMO.

              thats the first thing i thought of, I mean, they have the Miz wrestling Jerry Lawler and basically not winning clean, ever, now its Miz-Cena and we are supposed to believe Miz has a shot. I know Miz won clean last night essentially, but the way he ahs been booked thus far has not led me to believe he can compete with Cena. Im really surprised he is keeping the belt and main eventing wm.

                The only thing holding Morrison back is his lack of mic skills and doing promos. If he had that he'd be great.

                  I don't like the Miz and never have(I just find his character to be stupid, hard for me to take him seriously), but with how they've built him up it makes it really does make it seem like if the Cena/Miz match lasted more then 2 minutes it would be shocking.

                  I thought Booker was a really good announcer last night.

                    The Rock interferes.

                      I'd actually be suprised if the Miz doesn't win. Between him and The Rock all the publicity they've produced...plus as someone said in the Raw thread last week Cena already has a bunch of WM moments,they can let Miz have one.

                      That said I could see a Miz/JoMo reunion if JoMo wins MitB,Miz loses,JoMo cashes in on Cena after a post match SCF and they're friends again. He'll have someone to talk for him.

                          I was more than satisfied with the way last night played out. First time I've watched a PPV since WM 20 and first time I've ever watched a whole Elimination Chamber match (Back when I used to watch I was too poor to order PPV's and I didn't have internet fast enought to stream.) and I was happy with what I saw.

                          Miz and King ended up being sort of entertaining, I guess. It wasn't boring, so that means it was better than I thought it'd be. Any time The Miz is involved in anything, though, I want to kill Michael Cole. I understand having face/heel announcers, but he's just damn annoying. I miss JR.

                          The Diva **** was awful, but it didn't take that long so I didn't care that much.

                          It didn't mean anything in terms of championships, but I thought Del Rio/Kingston was entertaining at least. A halfway decent way to kick off the show. I like that Kingston dude.

                          Not going to lie, I kind of zoned out for the Tag Championship match. I don't really remember much of it right now, so I don't have much to say on the subject.

                          Thought both EC matches were great. I could've done without Rey attempting about 37 619's, and the end of the Raw one seemed rushed. Punk gets rid of Morrison, Cena sneaks up behind him and gives him a [whatever he's calling that move now] (I think it was the FU or something when I used to watch) onto the steel, game over. Felt rushed. Would've liked to see Cena and Punk fight it out a bit longer. Those were my only real complaints about the EC's, though.

                            Speaking of Cole someone PUH-LEEZE tell him what the Anaconda Vice is. That's the second time he's got it wrong recently.
