NXT: 5 points to note (November 08, 2017)

#2 The history of WarGames

What a tribute to Dusty Rhodes this is — NXT took a trip down memory lane, this week!

Even if you've been a lifelong WWE fan, chances are that you may not have heard of WarGames unless you were a fan of WCW or NWA. This week on NXT, we saw a special glimpse into the history of the match.

To elaborate on the rules and the nature of the match, NXT called upon resident experts such as Goldust, Booker T and of course, Arn Anderson. NXT owes a lot to Dusty Rhodes, and this was their way of honouring the American Dream's legacy.

Paul Ellering, the man who commands and leads the Authors of Pain, was also a part of the first WarGames match, and it's a great way for this contest to come full circle, once again. This was a great package to familiarize new fans with the rules.
