Despite the fact that he's criminally underrated as a professional wrestler, Finlay has solidified his position as one of the most respected students of the game.

For those who may not know, Finlay entered Vince McMahon's billion dollar company as a trainer in 2001 after tasting mainstream success with WCW. The Irishman went on to train the likes of John Cena and Randy Orton before making his return to the squared circle.

Although he didn't taste as much success as he should have in WWE, Finlay still holds the record for being the oldest (50 years) or perhaps the most experienced performer to enter the Elimination Chamber.

His only appearance inside the satanic structure came at No Way Out 2008 where a No. 1 contender's spot for a World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 24 was up for grabs.

Entering the match at number 5, Finlay survived the chamber for a good ten minutes, laying some offense on The Undertaker and Batista before being eliminated by a jaw-dropping chokeslam on the concrete chamber floor.
