10 Wrestling Promotions That Did WarGames Better Than WWE
9. Women Superstars Uncensored
History is history.
It's indisputable.
Pro wrestling history, however, is disputable, at least in WWE's eyes. There weren't 100,000 live in the AT&T Stadium for WrestleMania 32 but if it breaks a record, there was. Hulk Hogan didn't actually slam Andre The Giant for the first time at WrestleMania III, but it sounds better than having the moment occur on a nothing show in 1972. Randy Orton wasn't actually the youngest World Champion at 24-years-old, but when is WWE really going to bring Lou Thesz out of the archives for his title ascendancy at 21-years-old?
The point is, WWE's history of pro wrestling neglects to mention the history of pro wrestling. WWE, in WWE's eyes, is all that exists.
It's why, in 2019, they declared the WarGames battle between Rhea Ripley and Shayna Baszler's teams as the first all-female WarGames match - except it wasn't. Women Superstars Uncensored beat them to it in November 2011 at their aptly-titled Breaking Barriers pay-per-view, as the trios of Allysin Kay, Jessicka Havok, and Sassy Stephie, and Alicia, Britney Savage, and Mercedes Martinez waged war on each other.
The match was a superb take on WarGames, albeit with a minor change; the steel cage surrounded only one thing. All other rules applied, though, with the finish involving Havok threatening Martinez with a machete(!).
It was WarGames to a tee.
