10 Awesome War Games Matches You Must Revisit

10. The Four Horsemen Vs. Team NWO (WCW Fall Brawl '97)

The Fall Brawl '97 WarGames match falls way below the standards set by the stipulation's true classics, but it's still strong enough to hit the upper echelon, with two things standing out in-particular.

The first is Chris Benoit's performance. Teaming with Ric Flair, Curt Hennig, and Steve McMichael, the Canadian put forth one of the most impressive showings of his WCW run up to that point. He dominated Buff Bagwell throughout the opening stages, and was then forced to fight 2-on-1 as the New World Order's Konnan entered the cage, which only seemed to strengthen Benoit's grip on the match. It was laid out specifically to make Chris look good, and it did just that, with the future WCW Champion doing most of the heavy lifting throughout.

Despite this, Curt Hennig's turn was the story point around which the bout was built. A beatdown earlier in the evening prevented him from starting the match, but he eventually ran down, pulling off his sling to reveal two sets of handcuffs. The crowd popped, but he swerved everyone in attendance by attacking the Horsemen, cuffing McMichael and Benoit to the cage, before his new allies - the nWo - beat Flair down to the point McMichael was compelled to surrender.
