TAZ'S THIRD WORLD TITLE, ORIGIN OF THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER, ECW IN THE RUMBLE AND MORE

TNA refers to Taz as a 3 time former world champion. I know he held the ECW title twice, but looking through his title history I don't see a third world title reign of any kind. So what do they consider his third championship?

My guess is that they are including his two ECW World championships and the FTW championship he held in the original ECW that was later unified with the ECW belt at the Living Dangerously 1999 PPV.

I just watched Rusev vs R-Truth in a pathetic match. My question is this....why does R-Truth wear headphones to the ring? Just to hear his music better or all for show?

My guess is that it's just costuming for his entrance.

How did the Elimination Chamber match idea come to fruition? Was there a need for a new match concept at that time?

The story I've always heard passed around is that Triple H pitched the idea of bringing back the old Wargames concept. Since the two rings and steel cage apparatus needed would have required some major WWE production changes in how they shoot and produce the show, the idea of creating the Chamber came out of that idea and it evolved from there.

Surprise entrants for the Royal Rumble? #ECW?

We've heard a few names that we've mentioned in the Elite section, but no one from ECW has been confirmed. So, #maybe.

Do you believe the Raw Roulette concept will ever take place again?

Sure. It's a great gimmick to pull out when WWE is in Vegas.
