The worst ring psychology you'll ever see.

I'd say there have been worse War Games matches in NXT. I'm just glad these ones didn't really solely on weapons. War Games isn't just a match about weapons/hardcore spots.
That said the women's one did nothing for me this year, it was just kinda 'there'. Which, is how I've felt about the men's one in past years.

Every War Games match after 1992 has been garbage.
The 1992 one is really bloody and after that it's been complete garbage.
The WWE ones have been even worse than the late WCW ones in the 90s.

I didn't think they were bad. I thought the Women's one (albeit with a few botches) was better than the Men's (Men's was boring AF to me). That being said, what I don't want to see every time they do a War Games match is the stereotypical "let me pull 30 weapons from under the ring and turn this into a hardcore brawl". The cage itself should be enough of a weapon/spectacle.

I'd rather watch the NWO destroy WCW each year in the War Games than see the Undisputed Era do spots in a War Games match.

yes this is true, the lack of blood means there are limitations... but then again you are a Shotzi fan so.....

War Games is boring as hell to me. That whole show was a drag imo. I have to agree. Just got & seen the war games blu-ray collection & the matches were boring & predicable. I saw all the early ones up until the nitro era ones. Maybe my opinion would be different if I saw these around when they actually aired idk? The heels always got the coin advantage. We never see the coin lol. I thought they would change it up once & give the babyfaces the advantage but no. The pinfall is anticlimactic & the most jobberish guy gets pinned. I've never seen the nxt ones so idk. This year's women's match was ok. I saw the whole thing. The weapons thing was ridiculous. They just kept bringing in more & more. Sometimes they had weapons in front of them & wouldn't use them while being attacked with a weapon. Makes no sense. I fast forwarded the men's cause I was tired at the end & not really a fan of most of them

I didn't mind the ppv (sorry "PLE") as a whole, but the war games match in general doesn't really do anything for me.

Wargames has always sucked. Two rings is stupid.

I’ve never been a big fan of War Games so it didn’t mean much to me to begin with. I didn’t mind either match but nothing blew me away. It was refreshing to get a new take on Survivor Series tho

Wargames has always sucked. Two rings is stupid. The two rings are necessary and allow more space for spots. One caged ring with 10 wrestlers inside would be cramped.

Rumbles have 10 people in one ring and that's not cramped. Survivor Series matches have 5 people on each side and that's not cramped either. They could do 4 on 4 instead of 5.

Imo the womens match wasn’t horrible, but it definitely wasn’t good. The mens match was good, but that was mostly because of the build up and story, not the actual match itself.

It was tarnished when NXT had their first one and nothing’s changed. I haven’t considered the NXT/WWE ones to be War Games matches because they got rid of the cage for the ceiling. Without that it’s just a 2 ring cage match. It just not War Hames without the ceiling to me it would be like Hell in the Cell not having a ceiling to it.

The heels always got the coin advantage. We never see the coin lol. I thought they would change it up once & give the babyfaces the advantage but no. That was always the point. The heels got advantage so the babyfaces could build heat and get sympathy for their inevitable comeback. Changing up that small detail would make a whole difference to the match psychology and leave the fans even more with expressionless faces.
