Let's get right into this one Appreciate all love and support Wargames Years of waiting WWE is finally set to bring the classic wargame stipulation match to the main roster with this week's Survivor Series No longer just an NXT exclusive WWE is probably going to start off with a banger almost a guarantee considering Sheamus is involved But they are not the only ones to house the match over the years There have been wargames matches in one form or another in most major promotions in North America dating back to the stips inception in the NWA courtesy of the mind of Dusty Rhodes It's one of wrestling's great creations a double cage with two or more teams entering it alternating staggered intervals It has built-in psychology with the heels having an advantage for the baby faces to overcome Yeah, except for when they that bit up But that is a tangent for another list and the more modern matches have evolved to also include some of the biggest high Spots of the year for NXT and AEW. Let the wargames begin I'm tempest hailing from parts fun known and these are the 10 greatest wargames matches ever love these matches With this list make sure of course that you like this video and subscribe to parts fun known So you can never miss another fun wrestling list just like it We've done lists of other great stipulation matches like the elimination chamber and money in the bank So check those out check out Before we dive into the list I'd like to give a huge thanks to raid Shadow legends for sponsoring the race out of legends bag. Not mad at it. Not mad at it all 21 AEW's first foray into the double cage just misses the cut not because it isn't a great match Just watch it. You'll see that it is but unfortunately when people talk about this match They don't talk about how great it is with FTR brawling with Santana and Ortiz Wardlow having a Haas fight with Jake Hager and Sammy Guevara doing excellent high-flying No, they talk about the finish that on paper sounds great The inner circle is surrendering on behalf of Chris Jericho as MJF threatens to pitch him off the top of the cage Only for MJF to push Jericho off anyway, but in practice Jericho fell onto a bad Yeah, I'll laugh about it number 10. Yeah, he pretty much fell into like a like soft padding So they probably should have did another spot But I mean I get it. It's all about safety, but at the same time it didn't look good like when the camera zoomed in Horsemen versus Dusty Rhodes, Nikita Koloff, the Road Warriors and Paul Ellering, NWA Great American Bash 1987 I wasn't even born yet The earliest wargames match to feature on this list is a sight to behold Has it aged the most gracefully? No, not really But how much of the wrestling from 1987 has these early wargames matches set the bar very high for their time And there is still plenty of enjoyment to get out of them today Especially when you consider the level of talent involved in them The Road Warriors are the most ridiculously overtag team in history The pops they get being unstoppable badasses are ludicrous And they have the best heels in the business to play opposite them as well Rick Flair and the Four Horsemen bumping around for the two monsters as well as Dusty and Koloff What the match really has going for it is Jim Ross on commentary and the fans being at a fever pitch for minutes on end Properly elevating this match to great territory as this ends up being one of those early matches in a stipulation's life We're not a lot of exciting things happen But it works for its time because it's still revolutionary and the people involved are the top stars of the business The good guys won by ramming JJ Dillon into the cage until he quit and I mean Not before a woman screamed when animal was thrown into the cage Amazing Midnight Express Road Warriors and Dr. Death Steve Williams versus the fabulous free birds and the Samoan SWAT team And w a great American bash I'm getting my history and get my history right now because you know, I didn't know what wargames was until I saw it originally be introduced in HD and then that's when I found out it was you know the The inspiration came you know came from Dusty Rose He was one that came up with the idea and you know took it from there So that this is why this is pretty cool I wanted to check this out just to kind of get the history upon some of the legendary matches before the NXT ones that we ended Up getting out of what I just said applies to this match from the great American bash in 1989 as well If you love to hear an arena full of people losing their shit for some big meaty men bumping meat These matches are for you the road warriors and Dr. He said that so much fun to watch as they beat the shit out of the free birds and the Samoan SWAT team Meanwhile you had the midnight express the best working team of the 80s doing the lion's share of the wrestling Which is also an excellent viewing experience Especially when you get to watch Bobby Eaton one of the best and most underrated performers of his and any other Generation start the match and get some one-on-one time with Jimmy Garvin You had the extra fun of Michael Hayes not wanting to get into the match But this match really is carried by the insane performances of the baby faces Which culminate with animal getting the win for his team with a neck crank a bit more climactic than the last one But we were not yet at the point where we would see the finish be a super creative moment like we wouldn't years to come Number eight team angle versus team cage TNA lockdown 2007 look at the spread on Jeremy Borash's collar Yeah, we don't get to talk about a positive light on this channel very often and they certainly are the biggest offenders when it Comes to up the man advantage stipulation, but they really nailed their lethal lockdown match on one occasion in 2007 lethal lockdown is the one match on this list that doesn't feature a second ring But the rules of the match remain the same Well, that is except for TNA being TNA and making this a bit more complicated The person who got the pin in this match would earn a world title shot against Christian cage because it wouldn't be TNA without Some in fighting in a big tag match goofiness aside this match is chaos With all the biggest stars in the company Kurt Angle Samoa Joe AJ Styles Oh, yeah, I know Scott Siner Christian Jeff Jarrett just battering each other You had Angle and Styles being the two best workers in the ring to start and then just non-stop action Oh, maybe that's where they got their name and There's tax there's guitars. There's tax in a guitar. Oh madness AJ gets ready to fly off the cage and drops like a stone It's not the work of psychology that other matches on this list are save for the finish Where Jarrett sacrifices the title shot to sting, but it is the kind of bat Insanity that gave TNA its charm in the mid-2000s that does sound the same undisputed era versus Tommaso Champa Keith Lee Dominic This was a great ones NXT takeover war games 2019 This was great fans strangely aren't into this match as much as you would expect I was that changes and changes fast This match is best remembered for being the one where Kevin Owens makes his surprise return to NXT in one of the coolest Moments in NXT's war games history facts and from there the matches white hot undisputed era enter draped in gold Well, Tommaso Champa enters wearing Reaper's mask There isn't quite so much plunder as there was in the women's match from the same show and we'll get to that match shortly But this match delivers where the women only teased with tables and tables and tables Yep Fun mix of Dominic Dijakovic and Keith Lee's big man does thing big man shouldn't do style and the super indie style of Kevin Owens in the undisputed era Kevin Owens back in NXT was a lovely moment that really elevated this match If you ever want to get goosebumps go watch the clip of Kevin Owens Coming back to the NXT for war games and listen to that crowd pop instant goosebumps one of my favorite moments ever In NXT and seeing him come back for war games in the pop and Adam Cole's face selling it. Oh, it was great But they ended this match with the climax with Champa hitting On Cole off the cage through two tables furthering the story as he tried to regain Goldie from Adam Cole Number six undisputed era versus Pat Mac. This was a good one, too Orkin and Danny birch. This was a good one man 2020 it's crazy that the best war games match that the undisputed era had was the one with the football player Yeah, this one was good McAfee match war games once again went with the tables upon tables upon tables Approach with the bad boys presenting a table for each member of the undisputed era only for the UE to turn the tables on Their opponents and put each of Dunn, Lorcan, Birch and McAfee through said tables This was a ridiculously ambitious performance for Pat Even if he could hide yourself surrounded by super workers He fit right in here and never looked out of place hitting the big spot of the match with an insane Swanton bomb off the cage It's no secret at this point that McAfee is a natural at this wrestling thing But this was a gutsy performance and he made this match better by being in it and that Oh McAfee was the MVP You wouldn't think he he should have been the MVP, but he was the MVP of this match, bro This is before we knew what Logan Paul could do Imagine if Logan Paul was in a match like this. Oh my jeez Probably be even more insane, but McAfee I give him a round of applause man because he showed out for this match showed out He was easily my opinion want the MVP of the match Absolutely was not a guarantee a parade of finisher saw Lorcan finally pinned And if there had been real fans in the building and not this else world reality where there is just white noise cheering And this is awesome chance when you can clearly see no one is chanting this might have taken the top spot facts number five Sting Brian Pillman and the Steiner Brothers versus Rick flair Barry Wyndham Larry Zabisco and Sid WCW Wrestle Ward 1991 This is where the early war games matches really started to take a turn into a more story-driven style Evolving past the simple but effective story beats of the man advantage in this match Brian Pillman goes against his team's wishes to enter the match as the first baby face despite being injured to get his Revenge on Barry Wyndham He's a house of fire and the most modern performer of the bunch in this match But this was not a good idea for the lad as his injury and the man disadvantage put him and his own team down early This match featured three dick kicks and four simultaneous figure four leg log Times that everybody involved got together in a coordinated Really showed that these matches were indeed That was crazy Brian Pillman get that visual on the top of his head by Sid when his feet hit the top of the cage And then powerbombed again only for my fever dream to kick in as giant Gonzales came down and called the match off on behalf of Pillman this match got five stars and it involved Sid and giant Gonzales Number four NXT 1.0 versus NXT 2.0 NXT Wargames 2021 this match really benefits from not involving the undisputed actually I didn't this is the one war games NXT match. I did not see I did not see this NXT wargames match At this point I hadn't really been watching NXT like that And I bit I did hear a lot of you guys saying this was actually really really good and I made this may be a match I mean need to go check out later on probably sometime this week But I did hear a lot of people saying Dismatch is wargames match was fantastic and it's so on this list So maybe that there's some truth to the praise Which is a weird thing to say about four of the most talented wrestlers in NXT history Renewed energy is through the roof in this match and they start with the best worker from each team Johnny Gargano and Carmelo Hayes squaring off making the young stars the heels against the old guard is a move straight out of WCW but if you ignore that fact and enjoy this match in a vacuum It's pretty beast Bronbreaker is one of the greatest products the performance center has ever produced and this match furthered his rivalry with Tomaso Champa the most of the various pairs of rivals involved in this match Grayson Waller swan dive is scary and chaotic perfectly serving as the high point of the match. This match just feels fresh It's exciting and new and you get to see Johnny Gargano wrestling wargames for the first time NXT 2.0 might not have been everyone's cup of tea But this wargames event was genuinely great and it put a bunch of young talent over strong Which is not something you can often say about WWE. I heard this was a really good match Rhea Ripley Candice Leray Dakota Kai and Tegan Knox versus Shayna Baszler Bianca Belair EO Shirai Keemoway NXT Takeover Wargames 2019 This is another reason why I'm looking forward to Wargames this weekend because a lot of those women that was in that match Are going to be in the wargames match this Saturday. That's why I'm Can't wait. This was good. This was so good. So so so so so good Holy this match goes so hard. This is good perfectly honest guys takeover wargames 2019 was the one takeover I missed and I never went back to watch it until I sat down for this list I knew the match was great, but my lord. I didn't know it was this great This was the this was good NXT women's roster and the best of that roster was on full display here You have the story of Candice Leray and Rhea Ripley as the ultimate underdog baby faces Not only having to deal with the wargames disadvantage throughout the first half of the match But then having to continue the match two on four. Yeah, this was when Dakota Kai went roll Oh, this was good. Mara and all of selling it. Oh, this was great Dakota Kai turned on Tegan Knox Rhea and Candice essentially had to wrestle two handicapped matches at the same time Taking on two of their opponents in each ring these matches can feel a little cluttered at times But this was the perfect blend of pacing and spacing that really makes this match stand out among the rest These women were beating the shi out of each other in the perfect mix of violence and incredible spots with EO Shirai hitting a picture perfect moonsault off the cage before Rhea handcuffed herself to Shayna and hit the riptide through some chairs Yeah, I truly did myself a disservice watching this fantastic match number two Blackpool Combat Club Santana Ortiz and Eddie Kingston versus the Jericho Appreciation Society AEW blood and guts 2022 it took a while for all-elite wrestling. Yeah, this this was uh, ha ha watch it was It looked up to his name blood and guts. I enjoyed it. It was fun It was just a car wreck just a car wreck to get to put on their blood and guts match in front of a massive crowd But boy did it ever feel worth it when we finally got blood and guts in Detroit earlier this year The crowd is so electric in this match cheering for the newly star-made Wheeler Yuta to enter the match early And then of course the monstrous reaction Eddie Kingston finally entering the cage last AEW's blood and guts matches are a lot less structured than NXT's war games matches It feels like a lot more of the spots in the NXT matches are laid out ahead of time Whereas this match in particular felt incredibly chaotic That's not to say either one of those approaches is better than the other But right from the jump Claudio and Sammy Guevara run at each other And it feels like a real fight with bodies just colliding with one another This also has the benefit of being much more violent than any of the other matches I'm very violent with Moxley using glass Tax spikes and every weapon he could get is very Violent it is a shame that this wasn't the end of the Jericho Kingston I was my mom because this ending of Claudio stealing Eddie's win from him really could have been the start of something awesome Yeah going forward but alas. It is merely a great finish to an incredible match and number one the dangerous alliance versus Sting squadron Wcw-Wrestle war 1992 I'd always heard about how good the early war games matches were and I'll be honest while still very fun I did think that they weren't holding up quite as well as I had hoped until I watched this match Holy shit Bangs the dangerous alliance is a murderer's row of awesome wrestlers Rick rude Larry's a bisco and you have Paul II dangerously Like an actual sports coach wait a minute is that Paul's row of awesome Steve Austin Bobby aren't Anderson Larry's a bisco and you have Paul II dangerously spending the match going over That's so seen a young Steve Austin. Wow, that's crazy, bro Wow For a game plan like an actual sports coach making the decisions of who starts and what they do actually feel meaningful There were so many new elements thrown into this match Medusa climbed the cage and dropped Paul II's giant brick cell phone into the cage for the heels to use not realizing She'd be spawning the finish of every shark cage match in WWE some decades later Nikita Koloff and Sting had a great enemies turn friends moment as they were forced to decide if they were going to stand together or not and Koloff shoved Sting to the side to save him from a heel double team before they eventually hugged in one of the bigger Pops of the night the heels unscrew the top rope from one of the rings Damn match a feeling of chaos that you only really get when the ring starts getting destroyed and zebisco use the Whoa to try and hit Sting but missed and hit eaten allowing Sting to lock in an arm bar on Eaton's injured shoulder for the win. It is a shame that this would be the last truly great wargames match Wcw would ever produce damn holy hell. Did they save the best for sort of last and that's Hella interesting brother. This is cool seeing how these wrestlers careers Early in a career how it turned out, you know later for them and it's this is why it's always cool to see the History of wrestling and how far we've come, you know I'm saying if it wasn't for a certain things happening in the past We wouldn't have the some of the great matches.
