2. Originality (War Games)
One complaint that's been thrown at TNA numerous times over the years is that the promotion desperately wants to be accepted by the same fans who watch WWE. Such blatant copy-cat tactics are not a recipe for success, and many wrestling fans would much rather see TNA try their own thing every now and then. WCW may have ended up a colossal joke towards the end, but nobody can point the same fingers at them for shadowing everything WWE were doing at the time. One classic example of this is the War Games match, which fans are crying out to be reintroduced today. The two-ring, double cage bout is still one of the most unique match types to ever come along in pro wrestling. Not all of them can be considered classics, but some of the earlier ones - in particular - are rather brutal and violent, which only adds to the drama and excitement. Truth be told, matches like this, where rival factions want to settle their differences once and for all, demand blood, and maybe that's why WWE have steered clear of War Games in the PG era. Quite whether another unique concept, the three-ring World War III battle royal was a success if up for debate, but WCW have to be given points for originality if nothing else. At least they were coming up with some fresh ideas.
