Worst in the World: The Intercontinental Championship Elimination Chamber-Elimination Chamber 2015

(Note: Hey everyone. Since I ended up posting a week late after my wisdom teeth removal, I decided to post the next edition now instead of after two weeks to get back on my normal schedule. Hope you enjoy!)      Special thanks to camilo jaramillo for suggesting this match. If you'd like to see a match covered on the Worst in the World, leave a comment down below. Man, the Elimination Chamber is a cool match. Remember how we almost lost it for good? Like the Royal Rumble, the Elimination Chamber is easily one of WWE's most successful gimmick matches. While it's not as popular as Hell in a Cell, Money in the Bank, or TLC, the Chamber has firmly etched itself into WWE's lore since debuting in 2002, so much so that in 2010, it got its own self-titled pay-per-view dedicated to it, replacing the long-standing No Way Out as the final pay-per-view before WrestleMania. However, after only five events, WWE shelved the Elimination Chamber event in 2015 for the non-gimmicked Fastla...

Worst in the World: The Tag Team Gauntlet-Extreme Rules 2010

The tag team division in WWE is...not good, and hasn't been for a long time. From frequent title changes to little to no build for title matches, it's clear that WWE doesn't take the tag team scene as seriously as other wrestling companies & brands. This is especially jarring when one of those brands, NXT, is literally part of the same company, and their tag division doesn't have the same problems that the main roster does. And this isn't just a problem now, WWE has really struggled to build a strong and interesting division for a long time now, and one of the worst examples was the Tag Team Gauntlet match from Extreme Rules 2010. This match pitted the Unified WWE Tag Team Champions ShoMiz, The Big Show and The Miz, against three teams. Those three teams were The Hart Dynasty's Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith (Davey Boy Smith Jr.), John Morrison & R-Truth, and Mark Henry & MVP. That's four tag teams in one match. One of them is an actual tag team...

2016 Royal Rumble Predictions

Well, another year, another Rumble. Since the last two years have disasters for WWE, it will be interesting to see what direction the company goes, especially with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line in the Royal Rumble match. With six matches confirmed, here are my predictions for the 2016 Royal Rumble. Pre-Show Darren Young & Damien Sandow vs The Dudley Boyz vs The Ascension vs Mark Henry & Jack Swagger-Winners get to be in the Royal Rumble Winners: Henry & Swagger Ummm...what is this match? Since when are Mark Henry & Jack Swagger a tag team? Why wouldn't Darren Young be teaming with Titus O'Neil? And why is he teaming with Damien Sandow? Wasn't Mark Henry already announced for the Royal Rumble? I'm sorry, but this match makes zero sense. It's tough to pick, mainly because none of these eight have a chance of winning the Royal Rumble, so it doesn't really matter. If I had to pick, I'd pick Henry & Swagger, ju...
