New Column Added To Google Site: Ryan Owens Gives Elimination Chamber Predictions

My old Smash Wrestling pal Ryan Owens is back with a new column as he weighs in with his predictions for tonight's "Elimination Chamber" PPV.

Here is a sample of his thoughts:

"Elimination Chamber Predictions: By Ryan Owens (19/02/12)

I believe, and feel free to disagree, that the problem with booking the WM main event so far in advance is that once its booked, the road to it is redundant. If the teams for the Super Bowl were already decided, would anyone watch the playoffs? For the WWE, the Road to Wrestlemania is similar to the playoffs, and part of what always made that Road special was not knowing until March (other than the Rumble winner) who was going to main event the big dance.

This year, the advance booking of Rock vs Cena, and the wave of injuries to plague the WWE (Del Rio, Mysterio, Christian, and Orton) means that there are only so many ways for the World title, and WWE title pictures to unfold at Mania, thus while in past years one may have had a suspicion on how WM would be booked, this year (even prior to the Rumble) it's been almost an absolute certainty across the board. So if certain match combinations are almost guaranteed at this point, why watch an event like the Elimination Chamber? Will the Elimination Chamber stand on its own, or will it be rememberd as nothing more than filler? Lets breakdown this Sunday's card and see if we can answer that question...."
