Big Show may well be the favourite for the Elimination Chamber, after this big
win over the Undertaker.

Handicap-Match:
Rey Mysterio, Tajiri and Ultimo Dragon defeated Brian Kendrick and Kane when
Rey Rey pinned Kane with the West Coast Pop in 0:21:13.
Rating: ****

Brian Kendrick was shocked to see his partner pinned, and quickly ran to the
back to avoid any further attacks from his three opponents.  Despite their win,
Tajiri, Rey and Ultimo still seemed untrusting of one another.

Match observations: 

Following tonight's matches, it would seem as though Stone Cold and the Big
Show are the favourites for the Elimination Chamber match.  We may well find
out if that is the case on Smackdown, when they go one on one.  Also set to
happen on Smackdown is a non-title match between WWE Champion Jeff Jarrett and
fellow Elimination Chamber participant, The Rock.

Roddy Piper's involvement certainly helped lead to Ken Shamrock defeating Chris
Jericho here tonight.  Jericho instantly demanded a rematch with Shamrock for
this Thursday night, which Shane McMahon allowed him to have.  Eager to ensure
that there would be no further involvment from Piper, Jericho insisted that it
be a Lion's Den match.  However, Shane McMahon would only agree to this if
Jericho would agree to Piper being the guest referee.  Shane O Mac also ensured
Jericho that Piper would be suspended if he made a biased call.

It was intriguing to see X-Pac, who has been absent from the company for a few
weeks, show his face during tonight's six man tag match.  It's understood that
he'll be explaining his presence on Smackdown, so be sure to stay tuned for
that one.

Counting tag matches but not battle royals, Goldberg is currently 3 and 0 since
returning to WWE.  Can he continue that streak on Thursday, when he face Chris
Benoit and Ted DiBiase in a handicap match?  Judging by the way he dealt with
DiBiase tonight, a Goldberg victory seems like more than a possibility.

Finally, following tonight's two on three handicap match, a no DQ match has
been signed for Smackdown between Kane and Tajiri.  If the Big Red Machine is
in a bad mood after losing tonight, we may well find that the four way match
at Unforgiven ends up being reduced to a three way.
