Every championship is on the line, and almost every match is being contested without disqualifications or count-outs. Moreover, almost all the matches are defined by rivalries that have been going on as far back as the WWE ...

And with that, the Extreme Elimination Chamber match that headlined the Dec. 3, 2006, ECW-branded show was down one madman.  Sabu would ...
