#3. Goldberg spears Chris Jericho through the pod glass - SummerSlam 2003

Not every incredible Chamber moment involves a win.

In 2003, just one year after our previous entry, Triple H still had an iron-clad grip on the World Heavyweight Championship. This time around, however, he was having to protect his reign from former WCW Champion Goldberg - and fans were chomping at the bit to see "Da Man" gain his first major championship in WWE.

At SummerSlam in 2003, Triple H didn't just have to contend with Goldberg. He also had to defend his title in the Chamber against Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, and Kevin Nash.

It was Jericho - a man who has had some weird history with Goldberg over the course of both their careers - that was at the receiving end of this particular moment. But, what a moment.

Throughout this and the Chamber match the previous year, the announce team had been playing up that the glass surrounding the Chamber pods were quote-unquote "unbreakable." Now, it was pretty obvious to anyone with a fully functioning brain and eyes that this "glass" was clearly plastic, but, we're wrestling fans - and there's nothing wrong with just letting the Willing Suspension of Disbelief do its thing.

So, when Goldberg speared Jericho through that "glass", it became one of the most iconic spots in the history of not just this match type, but also of WWE's Ruthless Aggression era in general.

Whether or not Goldberg should have won that match or not (*cough*heshouldhave*cough*) is a discussion for another time. But, this was a moment that more than deserves its place on this list.
