juggaloninjalee Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Wasn't War Games an old WCW PPV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsiddus2 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 yes and I doubt WWE will use War games as the premis of that was a 60 man battle royal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trell Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Wasnt the PPV World War 3 the one that had the 3 rings with wrestlers and War Games was with the double ring with the cage around it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterded Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Wasnt the PPV World War 3 the one that had the 3 rings with wrestlers and War Games was with the double ring with the cage around it Yeah. World War 3 was a PPV with a 3 ring 60 man Battle Royal. And War Games was a type of match in which 2 teams battled in 2 rings with a cage around it. It starts with 2 people then another joins every 5 minuets or so until all are in. Then the match goes until one team gives up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdWarrior Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Wasn't War Games an old WCW PPV? War Games was an old WCW match, probably my favorite gimmick match of all time, but it was usually on the Fall Brawl PPV. Does this mean The E is gonna bring back War Games though? Positively dumbfounding that WWE might be doing something I might actually like... What is this world coming to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha Black Phenom Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 If you look at the other suggested names, it says Riot Control and Multimania. So while those names are quite damn horrid(at least Multimania is), it does hint at such a possbility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it...they wouldn't be bringing back War Games, it'd be War Games in the WWE. With a PG rating. Trust me, you do NOT want to see that.

CQI13 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Minus the extra ring, isn't that similar to Ultimate Lockdown match that TNA has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 It is similar to Ultimate Lockdown. There's no way the WWE brings back War Games. If they were going to do it, they would have done it back when they weren't G rated. The match would be a joke now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjb000 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Multimania? Are you kidding me? I don't care for that name at all. Also, I don't see WWE bringing back War Games. If they did, like people have said, it'd be a watered down version of it. They could probably use the name "War Games" just as an event title. I have no idea. I don't know what's going through The E's minds with all these horrible PPV names and gimmick events. It sure would be a pipe dream though if they did bring back War Games and did everything the right way. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah War Games was one of my personal favorites as well. If WWF did bring it back they would not hold it in two rings because of the money that they would lose by doing so. Unless they have some smaller rings like TNA does when they do house shows. I would also like to see a Scaffold match make a come back. Yeah those matches usually sucked, especially the one with P.N. News in it, but they always seemed cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristram Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 War Games is brilliant, utter torment. The best/worst depending on how you saw it moment was when Curt Hennig slammed the steel cage door on 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair's head to force the abandonment of the Four Horsemen, with Hennig turning on the Horsemen to do it. Some things to remember; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyJPiOjyn6E Now, you kinda know its going to happen when you watch the build up on the PPV, but the way they do it on Flair... my oh my... watch it from about 5:57 onwards http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/WCW+Fall+Brawl+1997/video/xa24lc_wargames-1997-pt2_sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antithesis Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 The heyday of WarGames come from NWA/Crocket in the mid 80's. Usually some configuration of the Horsemen vs Dusty and the Road Warriors. I've read that HHH is a huge mark for the match and wanted to try them in the WWE since the Evolution days, but that Vince doesn't like the idea. I also agree a Wargames match without blood would be horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remianen Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I know what you mean, I had the same first reaction...I grew up watching those first War Games, I'd love to see it brought back if it was done right. Emphasis mine. Not possible to 'do it right' under WWE's current restraints. As said, if the match was 'dry' (i.e. no juice), it would blow chunks. Besides, a War Games match would basically just be the hardcore equivalent to the Survivor Series match (to the casual fan, at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolinc Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I really don't know why WWE is changing the names. However, if we get a War Games match out of this I am going to be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Apparently I'm not as knowlegable on WCW gimmick matches as I thought, but is the blood REALLY that important? I know with the recent Hell In A Cell PPV, there were complaints about the lack of blood, and blood certainly could have helped a match, but I don't think it was the be-all-and-end-all. Blood is a tool. It adds drama depending on the context of the match. The REAL crime of the HiaC PPV was the lack of stories that involved the Cell. With the exception of DX/Legacy, they didn't use the environment to create drama and therefore wasted a gimmick. The same would be true for a WarGames match. Even without blood, if you tell a good story that properly uses the rules, it could be really good. Blood would make it better, sure, but it wouldn't necessarily suck without it.

I don't remember blood really in many war games matches. Not to say it didn't happen, but it didn't stand out in my memory. The telling of a story in the cage is what is awesome. The rules of the gimmick work very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthsiddus2 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 blood is very important in cages matches, cell matches, etc. it adds realism to them. at least that's my opinon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it matters, though, as WWE will make it suck with or without blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
