10 Times Triple H Ripped Off Ideas

Speaking of William Regal's favourite two-word explosion, when Triple H began changing the way people looked at NXT in 2014, you felt that it was only a matter of time before he finally got his wish of bringing WarGames to the land of WWE.

Sure enough, inspired by developmental guru, wrestling legend and the creator of the concept in question Dusty Rhodes, 'The Game' would finally unleash WarGames at a TakeOver event named after the former NWA/WCW concept in 2017 - nearly 20 years after its last night out.

Feeling he needed to put his own spin on the idea in order to mark it out as its own entity though, the NXT creator rid the structure of its roof and placed team members eagerly awaiting their entrance into the contest in separate shark cages on the entranceway.

As we've already mentioned, NXT have leaned heavily on old-school nostalgia in recent times to attract people back to the product. And the introduction of the always compelling WarGames matches into NXT arenas no doubt paved the way for the these many revivals of varying quality.
