Pete Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Was hoping they would debut it with the old-school 5-vs-5 format... but still. MOTHERFUCKING WARGAMES. We better have some kick-ass vignettes to go along the history of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'm beyond excited that we're getting War Games, but going by spoilers the title match for Takeover has me almost equally as excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one I saw was the Great American Bash '87. I rented that tape so many times. Renting wrestling tapes Friday night and watching it over and over all weekend was an awesome part of childhood. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd go get 5 PPVs, and try to watch them all before they were due back the next day. Some of my favorite wrestling memories revolved watching Wrestlmania X or Royal Rumble 1992 with my friends for the 43rd time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Takeover is looking pretty rad. I'm not worried about the title match because every time the challenger has had the chance he's delivered. It may not be the most anticipated match, but realistically the women's title match to crown a new champ and MF'n War Games will be enough on top of the card.

quackhell Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Trips finally gets to do a version of War Games. While it probably can't attain the awesomeness of early versions, 92 being my all time favorite, it should be a ton of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm disappointed they didn't do this instead. It doesn't make sense because Spoiler Undisputed already attacked the AoP From a match format standpoint, it makes a whole of a lot more sense. If I were fantasy booking this, I'd go with Spoiler Drew Mac and Sanity forming a dangerous alliance vs Undisputed with a mystery partner who could be revealed to be Ohno, a new debut like Rush, or whatever. None of this matters though because they're going with Drew Mac vs Almas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
