#3 Rob Van Dam crushes Triple H's throat in the first Elimination Chamber Match
Trending
Back to the first-ever Elimination Chamber Match, the biggest botch in this contest came slightly before the previously mentioned one. With Kane and Shawn Michaels yet to be released from their pods, Rob Van Dam was set for a spectacular with a massive Five-Star Frog Splash.
He hopped on top of a pod but was unable to stand up on it. There was barely any space between the chain and the pods, meaning RVD had to deliver the death-defying dive onto Triple H from an awkward crouched position. He did so, with his shin connecting with The Game's throat.
Triple H kicked his legs around in extreme pain, and it wasn't long before referee Earl Hebner realized something had gone wrong and put up the 'X' sign to signal a real injury. He was unable to breathe and couldn't speak for the rest of the Elimination Chamber Match, which he was tasked with finishing.
The Game ended up powering through until the end of the match, which saw Shawn Michaels pin him to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Triple H's incredible toughness rescued the first-ever Elimination Chamber Match, as it went from being a disaster to a fantastic match.
