Goldberg (2003)
When Goldberg arrived in WWE, it was main event or bust. The man was presented as an unstoppable force, which is the only thing his character could be. He wasn’t going to have classic wrestling matches, only impressive displays of power that no one could compete against. It was this character that WWE needed to step into the Elimination Chamber, and that’s exactly what they got.
Goldberg was an unstoppable force in the Elimination Chamber. The deck was stacked against him by World Champion Triple H, but that didn’t matter. He destroyed some of WWE’s best talent in record time on route to the final two against Triple H. Goldberg didn’t break a sweat and seemed like he was on his way to winning the big gold belt. It was unfortunate how the finish transpired, but that shouldn’t take away from the dominating performance we saw from the man called Goldberg.
John Morrison (2011)
John Morrison has been a human highlight reel for the majority of his WWE career. His parkour training made him an indispensable commodity in wrestling, having amazing matches with just about everyone. His ability to defy gravity was insane, and it made him a must-see talent, especially when he stepped into the Elimination Chamber in 2011.
Morrisons’ chances of winning the titular match were near 0 percent, but that didn’t stand in his way of turning in a career-altering performance. For 32 minutes, he stood toe-to-toe with the biggest stars on Monday Night Raw and stole their spotlight. During the match, Morrison scaled the inside of the chamber, dangling from the top of the dome. It was an incredible sight that no one had thought to try.
Mainly because they didn’t have the skill to pull it off. The fans came out of their seats as he dropped onto Sheamus, eliminating the Irishman from the contest. There was no highlight more impressive than this one; it overshadowed the eventual winner of the match and is what people remember from the 2011 edition of the Elimination Chamber.
