WWE's schedule page says that the Greenville show starts at 1 PM, and the Corpus Christi show is scheduled for 7 PM. Should be interesting to see what they do about the former. According to PWInsider, one reason for the Chamber's return is the American Bank Center itself. The arena doesn't have the modern video boards like other venues do; thus, WWE can hang the cage from the ceiling.

I'm guessing Card Subject to Change is going to hit really badly, because a flight from Greenville to Corpus is about five hours, so they MIGHT have time to fly in whatever opens that show to Corpus. Poor Greenville is going to get a card with something like Big Show vs. R-Truth as the main event.

From WWE.com. A tag team EC sounds awesome. I have wanted that since I first saw it as an option on the old Smackdown vs. Raw games. In other news, what the f*** is with WWE's promotion lately? You know what might get people watching this shit? ACTUALLY PROMOTING IT AND PLANNING IT MORE THAN TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE.

Wow I mean it does sound awesome (of course there is no WWE Network here in Germany...) but look at this schedule:
May 17: Payback May 20: NXT Takeover Unstoppable May 31: EliMination Chamber June 14: Money In The Bank
STACKED!
Inspite of all the heavy injuries that are going around, Vince goes full throttle...I hope these guys won't have to do too many risky spots

I like the tag match to have four teams. Four in the pods and the other four start the match, fatal 4 way style.
You could have Lucha Dragons vs New Day vs Kidd/Cesaro vs Harper/Rowan.

You know what might get people watching this shit? ACTUALLY PROMOTING IT AND PLANNING IT MORE THAN TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE. Same with King Of The Ring. No time to get hyped enough for such big news. They are doing great things with these additional specials but they just need to properly think them out first. Hell KOTR was originally going to be a massive tournament over a load of weeks but they rushed it due to it being another free month on the Network for free customers. I don't understand why they couldn't have just done the full tournament and then it would mean more, thus people are more likely to pay for the finals. It would have done Barrett and the tournament itself justice. It to me is a lot less of a big deal for him due to how much they rushed it.

Well, keep in mind that time zones will play a role in this, since it's 1 PM Eastern in Greenville, SC, and 7 PM Central in Corpus Christi, TX- that gives one extra hour (and they mentioned the time as "8 PM Eastern". Assuming that there's a 1-3 PM house show in Greenville, that makes some of the difference- it's not out of the realm of feasibility that all of the biggest stars on the Greenville house show card could be shunted into WWE's private jet after their match and flown directly to the show for a second/third hour position.

Are we sure it's a three hour show? I think for being a Network special, I think they can get away with two hours, though they do say there'll also be a World Title match and a Cena match.

I hope the Tag Title EC match is just three teams; it starts out with just 2 guys, then other tag members enter as time goes on. It's the closest we'll probably ever get to a proper War Games match in WWE.

More than 6 guys would be too much of a cluster...but will it be Lucha Dragons or Wyatt Boys challenging New Day and the Uppercats?

My guess is Harper/Rowan ... just because they've just reunited and putting them in the EC match will keep their reunion fresh in people's minds.

Will tag teams fit in one pod, or will it be a four team match with two teams separated in the four pods?

I'm figuring three teams, two guys start and just their tag partners and the third team come in eventually. Though I really, really want six teams. Are we sure it's a three hour show? I think for being a Network special, I think they can get away with two hours, though they do say there'll also be a World Title match and a Cena match. I'd guess three hours, given Elimination Chambers take a long time, they're not going to do them back-to-back so they'd need to lower the thing twice, and they've announced other matches for it.

If Meltzer is correct, they have no obligation to stick under 3 hours for satellite time, because this will not be on PPV. I wouldn't put it past WWE to go past 12AM-EST, ensuring all you east coast subscribers pay $9.99 for June.
Joking (or not) aside, I wonder if the wrestlers will work light on this show because of the PPV two weeks before and two weeks after.
One more note, does anyone else think that with this short notice, they logistically cannot bring in their boring HD set to the show because of RAW the night after? I hope this show, because of the short notice, forces their hand at doing something creative with the set, even if it is using the house show barebones design.

TV that week is in Texas and this would be no different than a normal move after a PPV.
