WarGames came and WarGames well and truly went off like a balls-to-the-wall firework display. Sure, some of Sunday's bouts may have fallen down on the booking and logic side of things, but you can't deny that each and every star involved in both of the titular matches, and the various other encounters on the card, all put in a hell of a shift.
