EC on the other hand has a rich history of world title matches, making 2 matches in one night and neither of them as a world title match is stupid imo.

Must've ticked you off big time when 2008's No Way Out did the exact same thing.

To be honest, I prefer 08's method of the having the Chamber matches be number one contender's instead of championship matches; since the context of the match has changed since they made it yearly anyway. For one, it puts a greater focus on WrestleMania, which I think should be their focus during the Road To WrestleMania. What I mean is, if the World Championship is on the line in the chamber match, then the focus will naturally be on the Championship more so than the winner goes to Mania. If it's a number one contender match, the focus is entirely on Mania. It's the last chance for those who failed to succeed at the Rumble, it's their last chance to earn the shot at their dream of having a World title match at Mania. It's also a hard fought victory and they'll come out as an immediate threat to the champion, which isn't entirely true for most of their alternatives if the go the championship route. What's going to do more for the challenger, winning an Elimination Chamber or winning a singles number one contender's match on Smackdown? Sure, their are other ways to do it, but you get my point.

Also, I don't think their willll be two chamber matches. Their is no reason to have any more than the Smackdown one. The number one contender for the WWE title has been decided, Punk's getting his singles re-match against The Rock (which I'm not thrilled with, Rock should've at least defended his title in a Chambe), and there is no reason for The Shield to have their match in the chamber (heard people talking about that). You can argue that WWE always had two Chambers in the previous PPV's, however WWE also always had at least two Hell In A Cell matches at Hell In A Cell but this year only had one.

WOW Totally forgot about NWO 2008 LOL.
But still, that PPV had HBK, HHH, Jeff Hardy, Undertaker & Batista in the chambers.

Look at this year's EC, still no comparison.

What about the shield vs ryback , cena and Miz (or another guy) inside the chamber ?
No title. Just like a normal chamer match , the team who have /has the last guy/guys wins .

Totally agree there, I already posted my thoughts on this year's "supposed" line-up, but I was debating that. I was just pointing out that not having a Championship on the line in one of them isn't anything new or bad, I'd even say it's better.

Mustafar's main point was the fact that it can be for the #1 contendership instead of the belt, so I don't think star power makes much of a difference. Plus, it's that old story, instead of using the older stars to put new ones over, they put them in the spotlight, so they don't/rarely create new stars. A completely different story.

I think they will announce it soon, and I honestly have no problem with it as long as the shield go over which is obviously not happening. :sad:

Yes but putting the title on the line will make the match more interesting and prestigious, which is something that it needs a lot when you are having a match with The Great Khali on it.

If the match includes top stars like the ones in 2008, it wouldn't need the title all that much because it already has big names that can carry a non-title match into a higher levels, which is obviously something we can't say about the current SmackDown EC match.

Well, there's no guarantee Khali will be there yet, but I see what you're talking about. But to Mustafar's point once again, if the match is for the belt it'll put the emphasis on the match itself. If it is for the #1 contendership for WM, the focus is on WM, a nice place for it to be during RTWM.
