WCW WrestleWar 1991 - The Four Horsemen & Larry Zbyszko vs Sting, Brian Pillman, & The Steiner Brothers: War Games | DEADLOCK Watch This #228
Added 2025-02-14 20:00:08 +0000 UTC
WAR GAMES!!
On this edition of Watch This, the boys venture back to 1991 for a big WAR GAMES match. It's three members of the Four Horsemen (Ric Flair, Barry Windham, and Sid Vicious) teaming up with Larry Zbyszko, taking on the stacked team of Sting, Brian Pillman, and The Steiner Brothers. There is a damn ceiling on this cage, there is pyro, there is a cool ass stage, and there is BLOOD!! What more could you ask for?!

OMG and then immediately after saying "I love that this has a ceiling." "And I love that its low." LMFAO

The foreshadowing from James when he saw Pillman wrapped up at the beginning of the video "Oh he's hurt!" Not yet brother, but he will be.

I'm like the boys where I didn't really think I'd be into the older stuff either, but there's so many 'smart' spots in this and some of the other matches on Watch This we've seen that are just lost now that I love. It's such a good indicator of just how much wrestling has evolved/changed over the years and what's done differently.

Grabbing the cage roof to dropkick Whindham was tits
I Ordered the Hulkorus from the pastamania restaurant and now I have type 3 diabetes brother.
2025-02-20 03:04:43 +0000 UTC
Watching Sid bugged eyed asking Rick Stiener if he was ok after going headfirst into the cage was honestly wholesome as shit lol

No, let Jawnny cook. I think War Games would be more entertaining if they just released bees into the cage.

The difference, besides blood and safety concerns, is that WCW and WWE have wildly different definitions of cagematches. WCW used cage matches as a 'nobody can escape, they must settle this' type match. WWE for some reason uses them as a 'what if you just take the roof off and climb out' match, which defeats the purpose of the cage.

It's because they can bleed. Modern War Games matches try to overcorrect the lack of blood with weapons and choreographed spots but it just makes it a boring plunder brawl. That and they've repeated Io Shirai doing the Great Sasuke spot for like five years running.

Sid doing a fucking Ganso Bomb to Pillman is insane
zaza so rancid it made me end Bobby Roode's TNA push
2025-02-16 16:13:33 +0000 UTC
I'm old. I saw this show live on PPV. It's definitely peak of pre-Hogan, pre-nWo WCW. I'd love to see you guys watch more of this era.

2025-02-16 13:47:26 +0000 UTC
The issue is WWE does two War Games matches in one night. It would be sus if both matches had the heel team get the advantage. They need to just do one.

I've had a thought recently about how his E run could've went if HHH was in charge then. Maybe better?

Like 6 minutes in and this is wild before a 3rd man comes in Pillman was thinkin up crazy shit

How good was this so simple but wow genuinely lowkey shits on recent war games matches don't get me wrong roh 2006 rules on watch this but wow looking back at this its actually so enjoyable can someone explain why hahah well apart from the fact that dusty and JR on commentary fucking rule every move is like woaaah

Need some more old-school Stinger matches. Maybe one of his battles with Vader?

I'd love to see a Watch This! of Jade vs Rosemary Six Sides of Steel. I recently have done a deep dive into Rosemary after watching some old DPW and have really fallen in love with her as a worker.
Hey James, Im coming to Charlotte to watch Judgement Day 2003, can you ask Jawnny if there's anything to do in Philly on my way
2025-02-15 11:03:32 +0000 UTC

great wargames, i think 92 wargames is even better. if you dont "get" Sting after that I dont know what to tell you

Didn't Pillman really got fucked by Sid here?

2025-02-15 05:45:00 +0000 UTC
I love this match. Very glad you watched it. It's crazy to think that the 92 one is arguably even better.
Also I can't stand when people do war games and give the faces the advantage. TNA did it a few times and WWE does it every year it feels. It's so backwards.
This is the easiest shit to book. Heels get the advantage until the face makes the save. repeat.

Man I love that you guys are getting into older stuff! I've been real into 80's and early 90's stuff for a long time but this era of WCW is a blind spot for me, so getting to watch it with you guys is just the best

This show also had Big Van Vader vs. Stan Hansen ending in a double disqualification. That had to be a slugfest.

Just further proof that wrestling has always been awesome. It may not always be awesome in the same place, but there's always something that's fucking dope happening somewhere in the business.
AzraelReaperX
2025-02-15 02:34:37 +0000 UTC
Absolutely. Sure, the second half of his TNA run and his WWE run weren't great, but his AEW run more than made up for it imo

I started watching wrestling in 96 so hearing JR dong WCW commentary and Schiavone doing the ring announcing feels weird.
This makes me want to watch more War Games, I went to check and see if Macho Man was ever in one, he was but it's with the freaking Dungeon of Doom....

early to mid 1990's WCW is how pro wrestling should look, it's such a clean and beautiful stage setup
