I've never liked the idea of having an Elimination Chamber match at a brand only PPV. Elimination Chamber matches feature 6 of the best wrestlers from that particular brand. If they are all in the same match, this meansthat the rest of the card features midiocure matches that would normally occur once or twice a PPV. This especially frustrates me when talent is misused in the Chamber (e.g. Kurt Agle). This is why I think that Elimination Chamber matches should only occur at both-brand PPVs. This way, the other show can make up for this by having most of their matches fill up the card.
With all of that in mind, I think that New Years Revolution 2006 is an alright show.

Match 1- Intercontinental Championship- Ric Flair vs Edge
This match was never going to be a match of the year candidate. What it needed to do was give us an entertaining start to the show in whatever way possible. I think that they certainly did that. Flair's figure four on Lita was funny and the DQ ending was a nice touch to the match. I can see why some people didn't like this match, but I enjoyed it from beginning to end. 7/10

Match 2- Women's Championship- Trish Stratus vs Mickie James
This was a solid women's match with some nice holds and counter holds. It isn't as good as their WrestleMania bout, but it was still good. 7.5/10

Match 3- Jerry 'The King' Lawler vs Gregory Helms
This is one of those matches that would not have been on the card if there wasn't so uch talent in the Chamber match. Like Flair and Edge's match, this was never going to be a technical masterpiece. As long as it was somewhat entertaining, I would be happy. This match was better than I thought it would be. It was back and forth and went for a good ten minutes. I would have given it 6/10, but I thought that the ending was pretty weak. 5.5/10

Match 4- Big Show vs Triple H
This match really didappointed me. I thought that the broken hand stroyline was a good idea and would make this match more interesting. However, it only made this pretty boring match drag on for longer and longer. I can't believe that some people are giving this 8 or 9/10. This match is a total trainwreck until a cool sledgehammer shot. Even Triple H's Pedigeree is pretty weak. I was so happy when this one was over. 5/10

Match 5- Shelton Benjamin vs Viscera
This match is a total waste of Benjamin's exceptional talent. Viscera gives him nothing to work with and Mamma's screaming is just annoying. I also hated the ending. I guess it did lead to Benjamin turning heel. 4.5/10

Match 6- Bra and Panties Gauntlet Match- Maria vs Candice Michelle vs Torrie Wilson vs Victoria vs Ashley
This is one of those matches that you either love or you hate. I loved it! The girls look soooooooo hot and the wrestling is o.k.. Mae Young and Moolah's appearance is also quite commical. 7.5/10

Match 7- Elimination Chamber Match for WWE Championship- John Cena vs Shawn Michaels vs Carlito vs Kurt Angle vs Chris Masters vs Kane
This is a good main event. It is not as brutal as the other Elimination Chambers but it make up for it in other ways e.g. Carlito and Masters teaming up. Kurt Angle is one of my favourite wrestlers and this match is at its best when he is involved. So why was he the 1st eliminated? The same reason WWE kept Cena champ for 14 months (minus 3 weeks), because WWE are crazy! Anyway this is a good match, but it lacks the brutality that the other Chamber Matches had. It's a good match none the less. 8/10

Match 8- WWE Championship- John Cena vs Edge
I will rate this as a segmant rather than a match because the match consists of Edge beating up Cena and Spearing him. This one of my all time favourite moments. Edge cashes in his Money In The Bank briefcase and sperars Cena to become the NEEEEEW! WWE Champion. 10/10

Overall, New Years Revolution 2006 is an okay PPV considering the talent they had to work with. It is much better than last years New Years Revolution and the shocking endingwas a great way to end the first PPV of 2006.

Chavo Guerrero vs Snitsky

This match happened on Heat. A good match, in my view. People were still coming in, but Chavo had great face reactions. Chavo wins with the Frog Splash (R.I.P Eddie)

Match rating: 4/5

WWE Intercontinental Championship

Ric Flair(c) vs Edge

A decent opener. People were really on Edge/Lita's case and cheered greatly when Flair put Lita in the Figure Four. Edge uses his Money in the Bank breifcase to save Lita, causing the DQ

Match rating: 3/5

WWE Women's Championship

Trish Stratus(c) vs Mickie James

The Mickie James obsession lead to some decent build-up going into this match. Trish was pretty dominant, but Mickie came back, even hitting the Stratusfaction. Trish retains with the Chick Kick

Match rating: 3/5

Jerry "The King" Lawler vs Gregory Helms

To me, this was a match to fill out the card a bit. No offense to either man, but it wasn't really necessary. Most of the people around me took the time to go to the concessions or whatever. Helms was in control for a while, but the veteran King lands the Fist Drop for the win

Match rating: 2/5

Triple H vs Big Show

Match of the night in my view. Triple H is one of the greatest wrestlers and why he wasn't in the Elimination Chamber is questionable. Big Show is massive in real life. Some good build-up and Triple H was in firm control for most of the match, picking apart Big Show's broken hand like only he can. Big Show attempts the chokeslam, Triple H uses the sledgehammer and the Pedigree to pick up the win

Match rating: 5/5

Shelton Benjamin vs Viscera

I am a personal fan of both of these men. Shelton Benjamin is one the greatest athletes on Raw period and Viscera is a joy to watch. Benjamin picks up his first win in about a month with some help from his momma and the Dragon Whip

Match rating: 3/5

Bra and Panties Gauntlet match

Maria vs Candice Michelle vs Torrie Wilson vs Victoria vs Ashley

Maria really changed my opinion of her in this match. She started against Candice and eliminated her, then moved on to face Torrie Wilson, who has more wrestling experience than everyone except Victoria. Victoria puts an end to Maria and gets blindsided by a surprise appearance from Moolah and Mae Young. Ahsley wins and gives the fans what they want

Match rating: 2/5

Elimination Chamber match

WWE Championship

John Cena(c) vs Shawn Michaels vs Carlito vs Kurt Angle vs Chris Masters vs Kane

The crowd was very anti-Cena heading into this match and its very clear why. He was not really WWE Champion material. He was always on defense and always won in the same fashion. Clothesline, Killswitch Powerbomb, 5 Knuckle Shuffle, FU and/or STFU. Never any change

Cena and Michaels start it out, followed by Carlito, Angle, Masters and Kane

Angle is the greatest wrestler in the WWE period. Him being eliminated first was total garbage. He was in total control and an opportunistic Shawn Michaels nailed him with Sweet Chin Music while the crowd begged Cena to tap to the Ankle Lock. Carlito and Masters teamed up for the duration of the match, eliminating Kane and Michaels. Wile Masters had Cena in the Master Lock, Carlito betrayed him, picked up the pin and was promptly pinned by John Cena to retain the WWE title

Match rating: 4/5

But wait, there's more

Vinny Mac comes out and demands the Chamber be lifted because there is still one more match to take place. Edge chose the perfect time and place to cash in Money in the Bank

WWE Championship

John Cena(c) vs Edge

I know exactly why Vince McMahon made this move. He enjoys his ability to make the fans cheer for who he wants them to cheer for and boo for who he wants them to boo for. Since the fans were not doing it his way, he sought to fix it

Edge comes out and tears Cena apart, practically salivating the whole time, landing the spear and becoming the NEW WWE Champion

Match rating: 4/5 (its gets higher because of the element of surprise)

Edge! Edge! Edge!!! Edge is the new champ! Best moment in WWE history ever!

Rating: 10/10

Winner: Edge

i think in a way armmageddon was better. but in a way new years revolution was better. im a smackdown guy. i belive the new comers are being frowned upon cause every one wants to see the classic days so they go to raw and thats wat makes raw the "A" show.

ric flair vs edge - allright match good opener i suppose. 7.5/10

trish vs micke - good womans match good build up to. 7.5/10 (7.5 for me is very high for a womans match)

gregory helms vs king - good match but i think it went a little longer then i expected. 7.75/10

triple h vs big show - i thought this would be stuiped without big show using his hand. i thought the ref will get knocked out 2 mins in the match and it will be a 6 miniute hardcore match. i was wrong...DEAD WRONG. ive seen big show do more things tonight then any other time. good match. 8.25/10

bra and panties guantlent - mae young and moolah ruined it thats all i gotta say - 7/10 without mae young and moolah 3/10 with them.

ELIMINATION CHAMBER - seeing as the card so far seems like the armmageddon one, it was all about the main event. hell in a cell made the ppv good so i thought hey so will this. i think my hopes for this was to high. good match no doubt but the elimination chamber match in general is going the same direction the hell in a cell match the first few were good but it got less voilent. now this match was good but the ending was very unexpected. carlito and masters were the last 2 with cena. the first 2 eliminated were kane and angle. angles elimination annoyed me it was to quick. carlito turning on masters was expected tho and a roll up from a low blow was good. but then cena rolled him up...he shouldve at least gave him the f-u or the stfu. which i might add he never even did in that whole match. ill give it a 8.75/10

but wait its not over...finnaly edge banks the contract and he beats cena with the spear this wasnt really a match so i wont rate it but if i must 7/10 cause edge ended the grueling torturing reign of john cena. i think you should get the ppv if you normaly buy but if u buy about 4 or 5 a year dont. there will be better.

RATING: 9

WWE CHAMPIONSHIP
EDGE VS. JOHN CENA
FINALLY EDGE CASHES IN!!! NOT REALLY A MATCH BUT WHO CARES, WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!
WINNER: EDGE
RATING: 8 (AS IN GREAT TO SEE A NEW CHAMPION)

OVERALL A GOOD PPV, MORE AROUND 3 STARS BUT I ALREADY HAD 4 STARS POSTED SO I CANT CHANGE IT. LOOKS WORTH A BUY WHEN ON SALE.

P.S. IM NOT AN ANTI-CENA GUY, BUT I WISH HED BE LIKE HE WAS WHEN HE WAS A ROOKIE.

WWE New Year's Revolution 2006 was a pay-per-view which had a bad side, and a good side. But overall, I would call it "decent".

Match #1: WWE Intercontinental Championship: Edge vs. Ric Flair (c)

This match wasn't too bad, but this is far, far away from being a classic. The ending was pretty nice, with Ric Flair bleeding for like the 104957th time. 5/10

Match #2: Women's Championship: Mickie James vs. Trish Stratus (c)

This was suprisingly good as both divas have in-ring wrestling experience. A good amount of counters brought this match to be watchable. It is rare to see Women's matches like these nowadays in WWE. Both have a good feud going on, and this match proved it. 7.5/10

Match #3: Gregory Helms vs. Jerry "The King" Lawler

B-O-R-I-N-G, even though they tried to make some attempts to make this match even "OK". This was a waste of time, but it was nice to see Lawler wrestle again. 2/10

Match #4: Triple H vs. The Big Show

A good match, these two had a great storyline going on which led to this one. Big Show was injured in this one, and HHH took advantage of it (Show's hand). Both wrestlers just kept going back and forth. 7.5/10

Match #5: Shelton Benjamin vs. Viscera

WHY? Why did this match even come across the writing team? This was horrible, all boring. Only liked the backstage segment with Viscera and Shelton's momma. Shelton comes back from his long-losing streak in this one. 2/10

Match #6: Bra and Panties Guantlet Match: Maria vs. Candice Michelle vs. Torrie Wilson vs. Victoria vs. Ashley

Sucked. Mae Young and Moolah coming out made it even worse by making their presence. Two points for outfits and Torrie's suplex. 2/10

Match #7: WWE Championship: Elimination Chamber Match: Carlito vs. Kane vs. Chris Masters vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle vs. John Cena (c)

Didn't live up to expectations, but this was pretty good. Definitely the weakest out of the previous three (1st - Survivor Series 2002 [Rob Van Dam vs. Kane vs. Booker T vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho vs. Triple H (c)], 2nd - SummerSlam 2003 [Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Randy Orton vs. Kevin Nash vs. Goldberg vs. Triple H (c)], 3rd - New Year's Revolution 2005 [Chris Benoit vs. Randy Orton vs. Edge vs. Chris Jericho vs. Batista vs. Triple H (Vacant World Heavyweight title - Shawn Michaels as Special Guest Referee). I do admire the WWE for trying to come up with new things like having unexpected situtations (Kurt Angle getting eliminated first, followed by Kane, and the roll-ups which were new as to win the match, but it was still bad). Overall, this was 28 minutes of decent wrestling. John Cena retains. 6/10

Yeah, most people are pissed right now. But wait...

Vince McMahon comes out, addresses that "This individual is cashing in..." which made the crowd go crazy. Edge comes out and gives McMahon his briefcase.

Match #8: WWE Championship: Edge vs. John Cena (c)

Short match, but another great storyline with it, along with the idea that most people didn't expect Edge to cash in his MITB. Two spears with pins in between leads to Edge finally winning the WWE Championship. 5/10

Good pay-per-view if you like surprises, but overall this was very disappointing. 39/80.

Recommended to rent.

there have all been 4 the world title this time can this chamber top these any of these 3 and the wwe title on the line can h b k kurt angle john cena carlito chris masters kane make this better NOPE worsty chamber ever THE OTHER 3 WAS 10/10 10/10 and 8.5/10 1 8.5 is the summerslam 1 this is about 5.5/10
