I'm starting this thread real early today b/c I have work that will take me probably right up to show time before I can rejoin this thread

1 of Dusty Rhodes' ultimate creations is back on Survivor Series weekend as NXT again will play War Games - The Match Beyond for the second straight year tonight in Staples Center at NXT Takeover War Games II



War Games will go back somewhat to its original rules... where 2 wrestlers will start and then the teams will alternate 1 by 1 who enters after a set amount of time (5 minutes before the 3rd combatant enters, and then 3 minutes between each of the rest of the participates) - if you remember last year when they had 3 teams the rest of the chosen team was allowed in all at once... however victory in The Match Beyond still comes via pinfall or submission (the original War Games was submission only) or your team can be DQ'ed if one of its participants leaves the cage (which still doesn't have a roof unlike Dusty's original cage)

Here's tonight's card

War Games - The Match Beyond
NXT North American Champion Ricochet, WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne, & War Raiders (Hanson & Raymond Rowe) vs. The Undisputed ERA (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, NXT Tag Team Champions Kyle O' Reilly & Roderick Strong)

NXT Championship Match
Tommaso Ciampa (c) vs. Velveteen Dream

2 Out of 3 Falls Match for the NXT Women's Championship
Shayna Baszler (c) vs. Kairi Sane

Johnny Gargano vs. Aleister Black

It's never really been used right unfortunately, even in the WCW. They would have some of the dumbest finishes to the matches

Matt Riddle is Pat McAfee's favorite wrestler? Who'd a thunk it

Gargano needs a new song if he wants this semi-heel persona

I think this semi-heel thing will only be short-lived

he'll get back to full face soon to again chase Ciampa and the NXT Championship

They had a 5 star match in ‘88 with Sting’s team vs Flairs team but I don’t think they were called the Horseman at the time (Austin was in the match I believe).

Think the finish was kind of wonky though lol. That being said, best War Games ever.
