10 Awesome War Games Matches You Must Revisit

This is the match everybody points to when discussing the greatest WarGames bout of all time. A near-consensus pick, it's not only the best that the stipulation has to offer, but one of the greatest matches in WCW's lengthy history.

This one ticks all the boxes. It's got the unrestrained bloodshed that fans had come to expect from the gimmick, but WCW were extremely creative in the way they booked it. It featured a healthy mix of WarGames veterans, young up-and-comers, and more experienced talents featuring in the double-cage for the first time, and everyone delivered, with Steve Austin, Ricky Steamboat, and Dustin Rhodes among the top performers.

Paul E. Dangerously's Dangerous Alliance were a tremendous heel stable, and one that drew favourable comparisons to the Four Horsemen at the time. With Rick Rude as their biggest singles star, the group had spent their lifespan waging war on WCW's babyfaces, who banded together to fend them off at WrestleWar '92, but it wasn't easy.

The Alliance's manager, Madusa, got involved by scaling the cage late on, but Sting brought her down. The action was all over the place too, with wrestlers brawling inside the cage, up and down the structure, and even between the rings at times. It boiled down to Larry Zbyszko accidentally striking Bobby Eaton with a metal bar, promoting the latter's submission to Sting, and the beginning of the end for the heelish stable.
