Gimmick Some Lovin': The Elimination Chamber

The Rules

Those pre-match promos explaining the rules really make my job easier.

In a standout Thanksgiving episode of the Fox animated comedy King of the Hill, Peggy Hill constructs the ultimate party game using her favourite elements of other board, party, and television games called "Spin the Choice".

Elimination Chamber is the "Spin the Choice" of the wrestling world, combining the staggered entrances of War Games, timed elements of the Royal Rumble, and sole survivor aspects of the Survivor Series match.

The structure itself looks like a cross between Madison Square Garden, which plays host to this contest, and Shawshank State Prison, with bulletproof plexiglass pods adorning each ringpost; a participant in the match would fill each pod until the countdown clock and flashing spotlights freed him to fight.
