They should have done it in San Antonio even WWE sees them as an A city an the last RAW/PPVS held there ranged from good to great. I've even been to some decent to good SmackDowns here.

I'm really hoping rather than just three teams they awkwardly do two guys per pod.

I missed the bit about it being Network exclusive and two weeks before MITB. This is gonna turn out like a Marvel comics crossover isn't it? "And nothing of consequence happened". (I love Marvel but damn)

One thing I see brought up a lot is "Have it be defended in specialty matches again, and stop having them only be for world titles or grudge matches". They're literally doing that here by having it and the Tag Team Championship in a damn Elimination Chamber match, so dammit I call that progress.

Mostly just going for the joke but true, it is a nice step. Just the problem is any time they do something like this with the belt they always soon drop it and go back to treating it like an afterthought. Same with the US and tag titles, whoever beats Cena will probably go back to not doing anything with it and I give it about three months before they randomly break up all the tag teams at once again.

Apparently, the wrestlers learned this was happening at the same time the fans did.

Ziggler, Neville, Barrett or Sheamus becoming the new IC Champion in the Elimination Chamber will be a huge mark for their legacy. I don't know who's winning but damn it'll be great for them. Same for the future tag champions.
I'm looking forward to this PPV.

I'm really hoping rather than just three teams they awkwardly do two guys per pod. Well, at least we have six tag teams. New Day Cesaro and Kidd The Mega Posers The Ascension Harper and Rowan Lucha Dragons

Admittedly, before I found out that EC was just kinda inserted halfway through I was excited by the prospect of an IC EC. I think that would be a fantastic match, especially because there are so many competitors that we could honestly believe would win. It would probably be more suspenseful than a WWE EC at the moment.

they're gonna go the ECW/ROH/Chikara route and have random shows with names to make them seem important. Coming Sunday July 26, 2015: WWE presents The Grand Chawhee's Birthday

If I'm correct, this is the first network exclusive PPV they've done - I like that. They need to do more stuff like this for the network to be an essential purchase. I hope it does good numbers and they do more in the future.

About time they do a tag chamber match, I've been wanting one since Here Comes the Pain.

I thought it would be an hour like KOTR was but too many matches are listed.
