Recorded February 23rd, 2021
The Elimination Chamber Pay-Per-View; an annual night of professional wrestling that has the potential to turn the wrestling world on its head right before the biggest show of the year.
Quite frankly, WWE did just that with their 2021 iteration, providing a (generally) unpredictable evening with (relatively) respectable results.
Each of the evening's two chamber matches included six brave superstars; each prepared to battle it out for the honor of appearing at - or headlining - Wrestlemania. In honor of that fact, The Wildcards Podcast assembled its own unprecedented Deck of 6 contributors to dissect the festivities:
Warren Sprague -The biggest wrestling nerd ever. We'd say this with love, but we can't. He roots for everyone. His enthusiasm for even the least popular characters is obnoxious.
James Koch- Sitting down for only his second wrestling Pay-Per-View event in his recollection, James is on board with all of the most athletic performers, the most brutal battle strategies, and the amazing skills of today's female wrestlers.
Dan Harrow- He's watching with the intent to analyze; perhaps for his first time ever. He caught our Royal Rumble episode last month and decided he was curious enough to step through the proverbial ropes of wrestling fandom and see if there's any reality behind the pathos.
Tiffany Hendrix - She's dating the wrestling nerd. Seriously; we don't get it, either. However, she has found a way to love this form of athletic theater all on her own... whether it's Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, or some other ideally-crafted "way"...
Sam Tate- Making his second appearance on a wrestling-related Wildcards' Podcast production, Sam's encyclopedia of wrestling understanding stretches beyond that of most... but that makes him especially difficult to entertain. Could any superstar tame the scrutinizing Samuel?
Tara Caldwell- Making her first ever appearance as a Wildcards' Podcast contributor, Tara speaks to feminine wrestling fanatics everywhere. Her love for the business is as deep as it gets, and she has absorbed a ridiculous amount of wrestling trivia to prepare her for this new role of Wildcard wrestling analyst.
With each of the spectators squarely locked into the Chamber, tune in to hear about every major impression and take away from the show!
How does Dan fair in his first foray into wrestling since his childhood? Can Tiffany maintain her grappling interest in the face of relatively wacky wrestling storytelling tropes? Which performers, matches, and moments left our Wildcard contributors craving more?
... and Just how outdated is this recording already?
Tune into this week's Wildcards Podcast to appreciate the perspective, participate in the pontificating, and saturate in the speculation of what has and will occur on this year's Road to Wrestlemania.
