I was reading another post on here and came to the realization that to me, besides the original at Survivor Series 2002, there hasn't been another chamber match where all 6 guys were legitimate winning possibilities. Lets look back over the history of the chamber.
2002 - Perhaps the best ever. In my eyes all 6 men could have won this match given their positioning at the time on Raw.
2003 - I doubt anyone on here thought it would come down to anyone but Goldberg vs. Triple H
2005 - Prob 2nd best chamber match IMO, but again doubt anyone thought it would come down to anyone but Orton vs. Triple H given the booking.
2006 Raw - Only possibilities to me here were Angle or Cena.
2006 ECW - Draw your own conclusions -_-
From 2008 on when the Chamber was only used on the PPV before Mania, It became very predictable when fitting with the story lines.
2008 SD - Obvious Taker
2008 Raw - Obvious HHH w/a splash of second guessing with Hardy
2009 SD - Obvious it wasnt going to be Kozlov or Show
2009 Raw - Obvious it wasnt going to be Knox/Rey/Kofi/Kane
2010 Raw - Obvious it wasnt going to be Dibiase/Kofi or Sheamus with Wrestlemania looming.
2010 SD - Clearly wasn't going to be Morrison/Truth/Rey heading into Mania
2011 SD - Obvious Edge win here
2011 Raw - Obvious Cena win here
2012 Raw - Obvious Punk win
2012 SD - Absurdly beyond obvious Bryan win
2013 - Obvious it wasnt going to be Kane/Bryan/Orton or Jericho w/ Del Rio retaining earlier.
2014 - No spoilers here but for those who have read, you know where I'm going with this thread.
This is just my 2 cents, but were you guys ever legitimately surprised by any of the other chamber winners?
