5 things you need to know about WarGames 

#5 Inspiration for various other match-types

Lethal Lockdown is TNA's very own version of WarGames

WCW's demise in 2001 brought a halt to WarGames. But its legacy was kept alive by countless match-types that were inspired by it and borrowed elements from the same.

The most notable gimmick-match inspired by WarGames was WWE's Elimination Chamber. Innovated by Triple H, Elimination Chamber was WWE's third match-type that involved a caged environment. It had elements like a cage enclosed from the top and fixed time intervals before the entry of a new participant that was reminiscent of WarGames.

The original ECW had their own version of WarGames called the Ultimate Jeopardy. Permission of weapons was the only way in which it differed from WarGames. TNA came up with a similar format called Lethal Lockdown where the cage itself was packed with weapons. Over the years, various other promotions like ROH, CZW and SMW have tried WarGames with minor modifications. But none came even remotely close to the original one.
