10 Awesome War Games Matches You Must Revisit
8. Armstrong's Army Vs. Camp Cornette (SMW Fire On The Mountain '93)
Jim Cornette's Smoky Mountain Wrestling was an underrated early-90s indie promotion that formed following the figurehead's split from WCW in '91, and closed four years later, when Jim opted to sign with the WWF.
A handful of their shows have made it to the WWE Network, with many more scattered around sites like YouTube, which is where you'll find the promotion's most notable take on WarGames.
Titled 'Rage in a Cage,' it was very much inspired by WCW's signature stipulation, and saw the ring surrounded by a cage constructed with a wooden frame and regular fence wire. There were staggered entrances, but it was an elimination-based match, with pinfalls, submissions, knockouts, and handcuffing an opponent to the cage constituting a fall.
It's an absolute hoot. Bob, Scott, and Steve Armstrong teamed with the Rock 'N' Roll Express to face The Bruiser Brothers, Heavenly Bodies, and Cornette himself, with Ricky Morton putting in a particularly notable showing, shining, as always, as his side's biggest face-in-peril. Poetically, it boiled down to Cornette (who'd done everything in his power to avoid entering) fending for himself on the heel side, with Bob submitting him with a spinning toe hold for the decisive fall.
