    idk, but i kinda feel like "pg" has neutered hiac a lot more than elimination chamber.

    I like the concept of Elimination Chamber more, but HIAC were always executed better.

    HIAC has too many iconic moments and matches

    Foley off the top of the cell is IMO a top 2 moment in wrestling history.

    I love the chamber though. 2005 New Years Revolution was the GOAT eliminatiom chamber match.

    Elimination Chamber
    Just barley I have to choose elimination chamber. Better matches quality wise, but some had real ? endings. But hiac had great ? too. I loved cactus jack vs hhh, batista vs hhh, mankind vs taker, and lesnar vs taker.

    Hell in the Cell is more Iconic but has lost its aura since WWE gone pg all the insane stuff just doesnt happen anymore.

    EC i like the structure more the whole metal floor outside the ropes and the pods

    I remember the sick rattle the steel floor would make when someone fell on it during a chamber match
    now that ? doesn't even make a peep

    imo hell in a cell matches have been much more memorable and produced greater memories. most chamber matches after 2009 are a blur to me

    unfortunately thanks to gimmick based ppv's these matches have lost their luster. but can still be great under the right circumstances

    the last few years of hiac matches have really hurt it, the roman/bray match recently is prolly the only one that can come close to standing next to vintage hiac matches violence wise, there have still been a couple fun ec matches despite the pg ? imo, tough call

    The chamber is a fun concept. They took the rumble and a HIAC match then fused them in a way where its dope. The only problem is there is only so much you can do inside the chamber and going outside of it or on the top is pretty much out of the question.

    Yeah Vince is running the gimmick PPVs into the ground enough is enough already. They need to get rid of TLC & HIAC especially TLC that ppv is nothing but filler at the end of every year. HIAC is still a good concept match but has been tamed and has lost a lot of luster since WWE went back to a PG format.

    Rumble
    Mania
    King of the Ring
    SummerSlam
    Survivor Series

    And maybe 3 In Your House like ppvs u can run MITB etc.

    HITC,Elimination Chamber,extreme Rules,TLC all need to go if u gonna have one of those matches just have it on one of those other ppvs.

    Would be dope if they had some WCW theme ppvs

    Bash at the beach/great American bash before SummerSlam

    World war 3 like a MITB match (Vince has said he hates multiple rings tho)

    Starcade after the rumble but before Mania

    the big 5, plus mitb (big 6) ppvs

    and network specials or 3 in your houses like u said, they'd be str8

    then it'd be 2 months to build programs, and the network specials would add even more heat n animosity n ? .
