  We formulate the equivalence theorem as a theoretical criterion for
sensitively probing the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism, and develop a
precise power counting method for the chiral Lagrangian formulated electroweak
theories. Armed with these, we perform a systematic analysis on the
sensitivities of the scattering processes $W^\pm W^\pm \rightarrow W^\pm W^\pm$
and $q\bar{q}'\rightarrow W^\pm Z$ for testing all possible effective bosonic
operators in the chiral Lagrangian formulated electroweak theories at the CERN
Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The analysis shows that these two kinds of
processes are "complementary" in probing the electroweak symmetry breaking
sector.
