#6 The Dream Team vs. The Four Horsemen (WarGames - NWA Great American Bash '89: Night 1)
Trending
The Four Horsemen was the most iconic wrestling stable of the 1980s. The rule-breaking group of heels came together in the summer of 1986 to help Ric Flair keep the World title away from Dusty Rhodes. The following summer, Dusty and a band of babyfaces looked to gain revenge on the Horsemen in the greatest creation of the American Dream, WarGames.
The 1987 Great American Bash was spread across three separate events, with the first two WarGames matches as the headliners to bookend the shows. The two-ring steel cage with a roof was invented to keep Flair and his friends from getting away and allow The Dream Team to finally get their hands on the faction.

Dusty led Nikita Koloff, Paul Ellering, and The Road Warriors against the Four Horsemen of Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Lex Luger, Tully Blanchard, and their manager James J. Dillion. The addition of the two managers made sure that no outside forces could get involved and marked the first time either Ellering or Dillion had been in action.
The inaugural battle inside of WarGames was peerless in its spectacle at the time and allowed a memorable display of bitter warfare. The extraordinary talent involved produced breathtaking and bruising action inside of the cage, and left many of the competitors bloody. The scars of this encounter would be left on the individuals involved and would be a predecessor of this speciality for years to come.
#5 Undisputed Era vs. Sanity vs. Roderick Strong & The Authors of Pain (WarGames - NXT TakeOver WarGames 2017)
For years, fans had begged WWE to bring back the WarGames match. The two-ring steel cage with a roof structure had long been the signature bout of NWA and later WCW.
The stipulation has typically been used to end feuds between groups of competitors in a climactic matter. In 2017, the WWE NXT brand finally decided the time had come for the speciality to return.
The Undisputed Era - Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish - had been running roughshod over NXT since their inception. Beating down the likes of Drew McIntyre and Roderick Strong, the group had caused plenty of destruction in their wake.
Their clashes with the Sanity stable of Eric Young, Killian Dain and Alexander Wolfe had caused tons of chaos. General Manager William Regal determined that the only way to maintain the chaos would be inside of WarGames.
With the added unit of Roderick Strong with the Authors of Pain, this would be a unique take on the bout made famous years earlier.
The nine Superstars took part in a ferocious battle that brought back the stipulation in impressive fashion. The use of weapons and no roof on the structure added to their creativity the men could add to this match.
This set the bar high for all WarGames matches that would follow on the black and gold brand. The contest made what was old, new again.
