WWE Elimination Chamber 2013: Predicting Participants

There are going to be six WWE superstars inside the Elimination Chamber for the opportunity to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 29.With Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Daniel Bryan and Mark Henry all confirmed for the Elimination Chamber match, two spots still remain.The remaining two participants must be former World Champions. As much as some people may be hoping to see a returning Christian, the two spots should belong to Jack Swagger and Kane.

With his tag team partner already scheduled in the match, it would only make sense for Kane to also be in the Elimination Chamber match. Although they are WWE Tag Team Champions, Kane and Bryan are two of the top WWE superstars in the company right now. Both are former World Champions.During the Royal Rumble match this year, Bryan eliminated Kane. Moments later, Kane assisted Bryan getting eliminated as well. It would not be surprising to see the Team Hell No members cause one another to get eliminated on February 18th either. Plus, if Kane was not in the Elimination Chamber match, but his partner was, what else would he do at the pay-per-view?One of Rowdy Roddy Piper’s most famous catchphrases is: “Just when they think they’ve got all the answers, I change the questions.”
Well, here’s a new slant:  just when Roddy Piper thought he had all the answers, the WrestleNewz readers asked the questions.
We recently chatted with the Hot Rod, and asked the questions provided by you, the loyal WrestleNewz readers. We got a lot of submissions, so apologies if your question didn’t directly get asked, but you’ll probably see that Piper covered your topic anyway!

The Hot Rod said your questions were great, and that he enjoyed doing the interview.
Thanks to everyone who submitted questions. Check back to WrestleNewz for Part 2, coming very soon.
Roddy Piper: There’s always the question whether a wrestler has “it.” What “it” is — that’s never defined, because there’s not a better word for it.  Call it chemistry, call it charisma: there are different ways to describe it. But whatever “it” is, Colt has it. He’s a natural. Now comRoddy Piperes the question of what Colt decides to do with it. I’m trying to mostly stay away from it. His name is Colt Toombs. He is undefeated as an MMA fighter as an amateur, and he always fights under his real name, Toombs. He’s making his own headway, on his own terms, with his own name. And I’m extremely proud of him. He is wrestling in a league called Portland Wrestling Uncut, and various groups.  He was supposed to wrestle Daivari in Santiago, Chile, but unfortunately the show got canceled because they couldn’t provide the proper security. He’s doing great, though. I don’t want to give away any of his future plans. But you won’t miss him! He’ll be coming at you, oh yeah.


Roddy Piper:  I love Mexico. Mexico City, and many places, were obviously rough areas. But I loved it. I’ll try to make this a story short. Gory Guerrero had me wrestle Chavo Guerrero inside of a bull ring in Juarez.  In the bullring, what they did was, for a peso, they would rent the fans a pillow to sit on. Nobody was happy I was there. All the Mexicans had jealousy about me being on the last match. Anyway, just before intermission it started pouring rain. Everybody goes into the shelter, and eventually comes back out when the rain stops when it was time for me to go on. Coming out into a bullring, through, there were certain things I didn’t know. One was that, when they close the door to the ring, it’s just a round circle.  If you don’t take note of the geography of your surroundings, you won’t find the door out of that circle. Also, when the rain hits those pillows, those pillows start to weigh about two-and-a-half pounds each.
I got in the ring with Chavo Guerrero and Hector Guerrero, and I had them to the point where they were bleeding — I took chairs to them. So the fans started chucking these pillows at me. And, man, it was like getting hit by two-and-a-half-pound dumbbells. It kind of boiled over into a full-scale riot. I’m pretty used to that, but I couldn’t find the door!  Chavo, in trying to be funny, said “let’s get him!”  Well, those people took him seriously. I must have been 15 minutes — well, I won’t exaggerate, because I don’t know how many minutes — but at least a few trying to find the door! And I was fighting for my life, because I had played La Cucaracha as the Mexican national anthem on my bagpipes. But they’re wonderful people, you know. It’s a great place. I love it.
