The first Elimination Chamber Match (2002)

The 2002 Survivor Series didn’t feature a traditional elimination match. Instead, it was the debut of the Elimination Chamber. Supposedly the brain-child of Eric Bischoff, the chain-encased ring would soon become the most violent match in WWE. The inaugural match, for the World Heavyweight Championship, was a murderer’s row of legends: Triple H, Shawn Michaels, RVD, Chris Jericho, Booker T, and Kane. The match was bloody and perfect.

Just as historic was the structure’s debut is what went on inside of it that night.
