WWE Elimination Chamber 2012 Mid-Show Results: SmackDown Chamber Match

In the SmackDown Chamber match we got the outcome we all expected, but not by the means we expected.

Big Show was the second man eliminated from the match, but he did get to get his hands on Bryan for a little bit by ripping the top of his pod open and pounding him from above.

Khali had a quick in and out performance. Rhodes and Barrett both had good showings, but in the end neither man eliminated the champion.

The final two men in the match were Daniel Bryan and the underdog of all underdogs, Santino Marella. The crowd was really behind Marella for the win, and frankly, so was I.

I knew it was not to be, but I kind of wanted to see Santino win the title, even if he lost it the next night like Kane did when he won his first WWE title.

At the end of the night it was Bryan who won with the Labell Lock, but not until after Santino made a valiant effort to break free.

I am not advocating for a Santino title reign, but this PPV was somewhat of a let down to me, and I think Santino winning would have made it at least a little more interesting of a night.

The match as a whole started out pretty bad, with numerous "boring" chants breaking out from the very vocal Wisconsin crowd. Show looked a bit sluggish and Khali added little during his quick run.

I can't help but think WWE should have had Drew McIntyre or even Ezekiel Jackson in this match over Khali—at least they could have added some decent action to the slow pace.

I would say this match was a C+ at best considering that Bryan, Rhodes and Barrett were all involved and should have had a better showing.
