In the Ring: After the elimination chamber is lowered from the ceiling, ring announcer Gary Michael Cappetta one by one introduces the 4 wrestlers who will start the match inside the 4 pods:
1) Ed "Strangler" Lewis
2) Ivan Koloff (accompanied by Nikolai Volkoff and Nikita Breznikov)
3) George Hackenschmidt
4) defending MLW Champion Buddy Rogers (accompanied by Eddie Fyne)
- Cappetta then introduces the 2 wrestlers who will start the elimination chamber match:
1) Bobo Brazil
2) Don Leo Jonathan
Match #8: MLW Champion Buddy Rogers vs George Hackenschmidt vs Bobo Brazil vs Ed "Strangler" Lewis vs Ivan Koloff vs Don Leo Jonathan in an elimination chamber for the MLW Championship.
- First Five Minutes: Brazil and DLJ battled. No eliminations occurred during this time period although DLJ was bleeding heavily after Brazil slammed him into the side of the elimination chamber and then gave DLJ a Bobo bodyslam onto the metal floor grating that separates the ring from the sides of the elimination chamber.
- First wrestler released from a pod: The lights stop flashing on the pod of the defending MLW Champion Buddy Rogers!
- Rogers comes out cautiously and tries to stay out of the action as Brazil and DLJ continue to fight each other.
- Next Five Minutes: During this time period, one elimination occurred as Rogers got Brazil to tap out to his FIGURE FOUR GRAPEVINE when DLJ gave Brazil an atomic drop and an opportunistic Rogers then came over to immediately apply his finishing hold on Brazil.
- Next wrestler released from a pod: Ivan Koloff.
- Next Five Minutes: No eliminations occurred. During this time, Koloff mostly battled DLJ but he also fought Rogers too.
- Next wrestler released from a pod: Ed "Strangler" Lewis
- Next Five Minutes: During this time period, another elimination occurred when Koloff defeated DLJ. Koloff slammed DLJ into one of the sides of the elimination chamber where Volkoff from the outside through the holes in the chamber used Koloff's chain to viciously choke out DLJ while also pressing him up against the steel linked side of the elimination chamber. Koloff then grabbed Volkoff's hands through the sides of the chamber for extra leverage for applying his RUSSIAN BEARHUG which forced DLJ to tap the side of the elimination chamber to signal his submission. Also during this time period, Rogers and Lewis battled each other with both of them getting in offense against each other.
- Last wrestler released from a pod: George Hackenschmidt. Now that all of the wrestlers have been released from their pods, the TV announcers remark that either Rogers, Hackenschmidt, Lewis, or Koloff will be leaving this match as the MLW Champion!
- Lewis made Koloff tap out to his STRANGLER'S HEADLOCK. Afterward, Volkoff ran into the elimination chamber as the door was opened for his tag team partner Koloff to exit and threw a surprised Lewis through one of the glass elimination chamber pods before exiting the structure with Koloff. The TV announcers remarked that it was now down to Rogers, Hackenschmidt, and Lewis!
- Rogers battled with Hackenschmidt- his former Horsemen teammate and the man he won the MLW Championship from at Summerslam. As Lewis continued to remain down in the broken pod chamber that Volkoff threw him into, Rogers systematically and repeatedly tried to put Hackenschmidt away. Multiple times it seemed Rogers had Hackenschmidt eliminated but Hackenschmidt somehow managed to survive a total of 4 pin/submission attempts from Rogers to bring the crowd to its feet in enthusiastic support of Hackenschmidt. Sensing the momentum changing, Rogers backed away as Lewis struggled to his feet and, as Hackenschmidt ran after him, got out of the way so Hackenschmidt and Lewis found themselves face to face with each other.
- After battling with Hackenschmidt for a few minutes, Lewis got Hackenschmidt to tap out to a double wristlock as Rogers also held Hackenschmidt from behind for extra leverage. The TV announcers commented that it was now down to just Rogers and Lewis!
- Rogers and Lewis battled each other with Rogers getting the win by pinning Lewis via an atomic drop. But tonight's performance by Lewis made the TV announcers wonder aloud how Lewis (who got a standing ovation from the crowd in appreciation for his efforts) would do in a normal one on one matchup against Rogers who he has never faced one on one before.
- As Rogers, now joined inside the elimination chamber by the rest of the Four Horsemen (Fyne, United States Champion Rikidozan, Johnny Valentine, and Larry Zbyszko), triumphantly holds up the MLW Championship that he successfully defended in the mandatory one title defense per year inside an elimination chamber, the TV announcers remind their audience that the next challenger for Rogers will be Antonino Rocca at the Royal Rumble and this show comes to an end.
End of Show.
