It's got two things going for it that really appeal to me:
1) It's one of the lasting reminders of Eric Bischoff's influence on the WWE
2) I mark whenever J.R. calls it "SATAN'S STRUCTURE"

It cost the WWE $25'000 to have it produced. Each sheet of glass in it cost $250. It probably costs about $5'000 a year to store. $5k to have it driven to the event. $5'000 to design. So yeah, it'll be around for a good few years to reap its costs back. BTW my figures come from WWE.com You realize how minuscule those costs are to a company the size of WWE, correct? The WWE will cease using the chamber if and when it determines PPV buyrates will be higher without the chamber. To continue using it at that point would be idiotic. That would essentially be saying, "Well, we spent a lot of money on it, so let's keep using it, even if doing so will end up costing us even more."

I liked the Chamber better when it had 6 legit upper-midcarders/main eventers battling it out inside of it.
Having 2 Chamber matches in one night is craptacular. There's no way around that point.
I would mark for them to use it in a WarGames like situation such as Legacy vs Cryme Tyme and Cena's shortlived faction.

You need to factor in the steel floor that "feels like landing on concrete" that Michael Cole enjoys!
I like it and think it has potential for some zany spots. I think Kofi or Rey might pull some sort of swinging from the ceiling thing tomorrow.

The Chamber is awesome. Anyone who thinks it isnt has yet to see a match. IMO

I like that NWO has become the ECPPV. IT makes it stand out. Having 2 in a night doesn't bother me. It is like the original Survivor Series.

It is a reimagining of the Wargames match pretty much.

He is just the one announcing it on TV. When he was in WWE he was nothing more than a talent on a mic. He was not in creative in any way.
