Today, we watched the Elimination Chamber LIVE on a local cable channel and it was a solid PPV. Both chambers, Raw and Smackdown, were entertaining to watch although I feel that Raw’s Elimination Chamber were more balanced. Smackdown’s Elimination Chamber were filled with small guys and kinda dragged in some parts during the match.

As for the results, John Cena won Raw’s Elimination Chamber and became the new WWE Champion for about a 10 minutes or less. LOL! After the match, the Chairman appeared on the ramp and ordered Cena to defend the title against Batista. Batista pinned John Cena after a spear and a Batista Bomb making him the new WWE Champion.

Smackdown’s Elimination Chamber was interesting and funny at times specially when Chris Jericho used one of the pods to protect himself from the Undertaker. At the end, the two men left in the chamber was Jericho and the Undertaker but Jericho pinned the Undertaker to became the new World Heavyweight Champion. It happened because Shawn Michaels appeared from below the chamber and Super Kicked the Undertaker. Jericho took the opportunity and pinned the Undertaker for the win.

By the way, I later found out (from various wrestling sites) that the Undertaker was literally burned alive when one of his pyro accidentally lit up under him during his entrance. Unfortunately, we didn’t see this on the LIVE broadcast. All we saw was the Undertaker running from the ramp to the ring which was very unusual for the Undertaker to do since he usually takes his time in entering the ring.

According to reports, the Undertaker was really furious after the match and WWE officials had to calm him down. Who wouldn’t be furious? Wrestling is fake but the body slams, the chops and the hits these athletes are taking inside the ring are not. I’m amazed that the Undertaker, after being literally engulfed in flames, was still able to perform as if nothing happened. Now, that’s professionalism and the least the WWE staff can do is keep them safe during their performance.

Below is a video from YouTube showing what happened during Undertaker’s entrance in the Elimination Chamber.

I read that WWE doesn’t want people to see what happened and they are pulling these videos off of YouTube. I just hope that the Undertaker didn’t suffered any serious injuries in that accident.

I was able to watch the entire 2008 Royal Rumble yesterday and no I’m not talking about the Jimmy Snuka/Roddy Piper thing. I’m referring to the Y2J and JBL’s match where Y2J missed a move but JBL still went down hard on the canvass. Too bad for them, the entire Madison Square Garden caught it and I almost fell out of my chair when I saw JBL fell down like a log. LOL! That particular sequence totally destroyed the match. Y2J was a bloody mess and I felt both tried hard to salvage the match from the botch but all I can think of was JBL falling down from a missed move.

Royal Rumble 2008’s singles matches weren’t great but the Rumble was pretty good until it got to the ending where John Cena entered as the 30th entry and eventually won the Rumble. My guess is, now that he is back, he will again be main eventing all future WWE PPVs. Darn! I was really hoping Jeff Hardy will win against Orton but with John Cena back, Jeff and many other Superstars will be put aside once again.
