Michaels winning the belt here was one of the loudest pops I’ve ever heard from a crowd. It was such a cool and inspirational moment.
Their faces say it all - HHH looks pissed, RVD is like "my bad"
3.5?!?! This match was frickin legendary
And this is why we remember star ratings have never been any true form of measurement in quality but simply the opinion of the person giving such rating. And as long as we all remember that we can write it off as it has always been - no more than one solitary opinion of a match based on that persons individual preference of what they enjoy seeing.
@@Matt-cr4vv Well said.
Booker T coming in and having that sick match with The Rock, in the WWE style, really probably helped his stock. He just came in and adapted. Very similar to AJ Styles. He came in, had a solid feud with Jericho, lost at Mania, dropped a couple matches with Reigns, didn't complain and looked like he fit naturally, and Vince immediately knew AJ was a guy he could count on
AJ Styles is a guy you can count on regardless. He just comes off like that. I do think he made a mistake not going to WWE earlier.
Still a bit surprising how successful Books run turned out just because of how bad things started for him. His first ever move in the WWF injures Stone Cold of all people. His first match is the debacle against Buff that stopped the possible brand relaunch. Tough way to begin but thankfully they stuck with him to let him display his talent and he had a great run in the end. Could’ve easily been slashed with how things began for him.
Booker T sucked. His push was the most unorganic part of wwf. He even knows it which is why he is such a schill now.
Still, one of the best E. Chamber matches, ever. Great storytelling.
C’mon! This is the best chamber match hands down
@Zedrik Allen Edge made those matches special. Especially the Raw one.
His Promos Was Good In Ecw
You clearly didn’t see the amazing elimination chamber match at December to dismember
Unbelievable match
Agreed tbh
I LOVE that 1992 Royal Rumble spot by Jake. Piper had the sleeper on Flair and Jake just got in the ring and sat in the corner for a few seconds. Got a HUGE pop even though Jake was a heel at the time.
Look at that line up. The entire business couldnts muster this much star power in one match
Corey Shelp and that was raw, whose roster and story lines were a joke compared to smackdown at the time
@@RayGetNasty1 not a joke but yes a lot of other legends
Tbh I had felt Brooker T was the best in WCW also
Or a healthy unrestricted Scott Steiner.
Triple H is a bad motherfuker for staying in there like that, trouble breathing is a very scary thing and staying calm is one of the most important things.
add37j I heard he could of died
He catches alot of shit but he's been one of the best for 20 years and you can't be a pussy and pull that off
The man finished a match with a torn ACL even going into the Walls of Jericho. Say what you will about him injecting himself into storylines and his annual near-fallathon at Mania, that dude is as tough as they come.
@@pigs18 Wasn't a torn ACL. Hunter tore his quad muscle in the tag match with Jericho/Benoit.
@@CCEkeke Thank you. My point stands though.
Vince didn't want to push RVD bc he lacked personality and range in his promos. Pushes Roman to the edge of the galaxy 😑
Roman is very good at promos
Roman's mic skills are pretty good brother. Better than a lot indy darlings.
From what I heard once they realized they could use Roman as one of their "ethnic" or "colored" talent to show that all races are given an equal amount of tv time that's when they decided to push him. I hear they actually do a breakdown and count the minutes each ethnicity gets of TV so that they can present the info the their share holder and no one tries to say a certain people or race is more favored than another.
@@sofaninja0552 Makes sense, cause he's promos are painful to listen to.
Which is total bullshit. The Rob Van Dam character is a zen, relaxed stoner. When has he ever cut a promo that didn't match that?
The 1st EC is my favorite.
RVD was always smoking that kush before his matches🤣🤣
i enjoyed the elimination chamber match from 2005 the most but i g2 say the very first elimination chamber match here was my 2nd favorite, hbk winning the world title was an amazing moment that still holds up today
@2:00 I agree, Booker was a hell of a worker and a hell of a talker, well as long as him and Stevie weren’t coming for Hulk Hogan that is, nugga!
Look at RVD's promo's in ECW they were good they were entertaining but they didn't have (and this is what Vince likes) INTENSITY. But what Vince didn't understand was Rob didn't need it. Just go out there have great matches do that thing with his thumbs and show that doper coolness and that's what the audience wanted to see out of RVD.
I beg to differ WHEN WWE gave Rob the mic, he went toe to toe with HHH of all people.
I LOOOOOOOOOVE AEUUUUUUUUUÙUUUUU!!
Ceem Play please don't wear those doo doo tights ever again
Van Dam has a very low key promo. It's very cocky and self-assured but it is relatively calm and sedate. 4:20.
I look at this cast, all current and future WWE hall of famers.
The guy who ranked it a 3 star match, I’d like to see him get in there for the first ever match like that and do some of the things they did and have a great as a match as they did and then see how good of a match he had. If you ask me, giving it a 3 star rating is a crime. It’s a 4 to 5 star match all day just based off the story, the winner, and of course the work they did and the spots they had in the match. But again, that’s just my opinion.
What episode was this clip from?...
I saw HBK coming out as the champion, because WWE likes to do unexpected things. Someone's not even scheduled to be in the match? They'll still walk out the champion! So and so isn't working house shows? Champion!
Games That I Play hbk deserved. It
Don't forget TNA "This guy can't travel overseas and we're about to start an overseas tour? Make Him Champion!"
You know that you made a lot of enemies when no one in the back was willing to offer up their boots. There had to have been someone who was done for the night that could have let him use their boots that's crazy they must have really hated him
The glass was bullit proof but it wasnt Kane proof
Lmao. The “Zen...chilll....” character was simply that, a character. A character that Vince perpetuated. Rob showed in ECW that he’s a great promo, with a dynamic range. Bruces reasoning here is hilariously backwards.
Pretty sure if a fan stood up and shot HHH in the middle of a match, he'd finish.
Hey look I actually agree with Conrad.
Booker T and Y2J were the most successful WCW employees that jumped shipped to WWE.
This was and still is the best Chamber match of all time in my opinion. And I much prefer the original design, even if it contributed to the injury to Triple H's throat... Scary...
Even so, I hated that Shawn won; I feel like this was supposed to be RVD's ascension to World Heavyweight Champion. He utilized the chamber best and in ways that most people still haven't been able to replicate. This match was essentially a place to show just how extreme the participants could take things and Van Dam was the most extreme person in not only this match but the whole company.
It was never going to Rob. It was lucky to even change hands. As we saw it was full steam ahead for Triple H at the time. The Shawn change was only for the shock and because he was somebody you could pull it off of right away without it being a big deal and stick with your long term plan. The events that followed show that to be the case. From the time they gave Triple H the belt until he lost it at WM 20 he was champ for 447 of the 559 days. If you extend it to the following WM where he lost to Batista and the title transitioned away from him for a period of time as they put the efforts behind Cena and Batista he had the belt for 616 of the 910 days that someone held the belt. Anybody who would’ve won the belt besides Triple H was going to lose it right back to him just like Shawn did because the plan was always long term for Triple H at the time. So the reality is you consider was it better for Shawn to win it and have the nostalgic surprise of it happening when most anybody doubted that happening and then lose it at the next PPV, something that doesn’t hurt him at all because his status as one of the best to ever do it is already firmly planted, or to have a new champion like an RVD get it and lose it right away and maybe fans doubt him since his status isn’t entrenched like that yet? Or there being a big negative reaction when the new face got the thing and doesn’t have the chance to run with it because it’s going right back and the talk of Triple H being the golden shovel who doesn’t let anybody get ahead? Sure it would be great for RVD to win but not if he wouldn’t get a long term chance once he did which he clearly wouldn’t have gotten. I’d rather he doesn’t win until he has a genuine chance rather than a quick take back.
We all saw him gimmick that fucking ladder!
I'm a big hbk Mark whatever anyone says Abt hhh he's a bad mo fo he carried on after blowing out his quad and u could hear Nash when he done it he couldn't continue hhh did whatever u say hhh deserves to b the 13time champ cos he always counituned and is a real bad mo fo
My god what a stupid question "Hey what about the guys in the pod what do they do for ten minutes with everyone looking at them" Uh i don't know...do the same thing Tag Teams do when one is on the apron.
I wanna whose ideas elimination chamber it was for real and if it was actually Eric Bischoff’s idea for sure?
I mean it kinda feels like that old WCW match with like the 2 or 3 cages amd the scaffolding and all that with Kevin Sullivan, Hulk Hogan, etc.
It’s a shame about RVD’s promos, because it seems like young Rob was pretty good when teasing the ECW fans about going to RAW or WCW for example
"742,000 miles of steel" Really........
8:42 - I really doubt he would say that about Owen Harts death.
Didn't know hhh was got hurt
Jesus Conrad! I am sitting here trying to feel bad for HHH and how scary that must have been but as i am starting to feel the sympathy i take a look at my computer screen and the thumbnail of all 6 men and bruce and RVD is standing there with that "oops my bad" innocent pose and i bust out laughing....lol you had to have picked that pose on purpose :) but anyways i watched this live on ppv when it happened and i thought the match was a 5 star match (outside of the rvd flub) and if you include the flub it makes it a 4.5 star match only because of the repercussions of the throat injury...but meltzer giving it a 3.5 is ridiculous
brock lesner didnt have good promos either
RVD didn't have the physique either
Shawn was absolutely gorgeous
I looked up pictures from that match. Shawn's gear looked hideous with those brown tights and cowboy boots. I saw the match when I was 8 so I didn't care lol
Triple H always works through injuries.
Starting at 11:11 that "talk" is some bullshit! HBK proved he still had it at his return match at Summerslam and he was the most over guy in the company also.
I'm a huge RVD fan, but to be completely honest he ultimately proved Vince's gut instinct right in 2006; Triple H was champion for so long because he could carry the multi-year responsibility of it. Booker T was easily the best asset WCW had left to sell at the point they went under, yes DDP should have been debuted better, but he was still getting older and injury-prone by that point.
Put some respect on Hunter’s name.
Promo skills is huge that’s why I don’t like Cesaro, he can’t cut a promo for shit and you know it
Sick and tired of this promo crap. Why not bring back the managers to handle that part and let the talent do their thing.
Dude..Rob was a great heel in ECW. Watch his feud with Sabu. He had personality. Prichard is nothing but a McMahon stooge.
That's funny being that he has competed with Vince for years now. Hmmm.
What he's saying is that RVD didn't want to play a role. He just wanted to be the chill dude and not show any passion in his promos
I disagree about RVD....he was so over and just because Vince thought he wasn't good on promos doesn't mess. He was bad his fan base proved that
So Vince didn't like that Rob had limited promo skills yet pushes Roman Reigns to the moon who's absolute shit on the mic?
Booker was not better than Jericho or Benoit
John Lovelace he meant Booker was the best of the batch of WCW guys who came over after the company was bought out in 01. He was certainly the best out of the likes of Page, Kanyon etc from the Invasion, although I thought Storm and O’Haire could have been something special if booked better.
Supernova MCR yeah Vince waisted O’Haire, I liked his whole evil angel angle
John Lovelace yep the devils advocate gimmick was brilliant but apparently he couldn’t do promos live very well. For a guy with his look, size and ability in the ring they should have found a way to get around that
Better than Benoit on the mic as good as Jericho in the ring
He was better than Jericho and just a bit underneath Benoit
“Rob wanted to be rob”. Cause god forbid a guy just be a wrestler. Smh.
3:55 Well that's gonna hang for awhile. No one explains why? Why was Shawn dressed like that? Did his luggage get lost? Did somebody pull a rib?
Did someone have this bad idea in wardrobe? Did Shawn forget how to dress? WTF?
His pants weren’t finished
Hunter got George Floyded
Triple h is a huge babe boo hoo
Hunter got George Floyded
Hunter got George Floyded
