5 match concepts and the creators behind them

#5 WarGames – Dusty Rhodes

WarGames is no longer in use

For our one and only WCW entry, we head over to the bizarre yet genius mind of The American Dream, Dusty Rhodes. Rhodes, who probably knew more about the business than anyone else, first had the idea for a WarGames type match when watching the film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. No, we aren’t lying.

Rhodes recalled how vital Steel Cage matches were in his career, and wanted to expand on that for the future generations to come. The match first came to fruition in the late 80s, with it originally being intended as a speciality match for The Four Horsemen.

Will it ever see the light of day again? Only time will tell.
