As you can see the cage being lowered...... it's time for War Games!            







  Main Event: The 4 Horsemen  vs The Pinnacle in War Games               


The two groups make their entrances and the ref calls Flair and MJF in for the coin flip......MJF dares Arn Anderson to start the match against him. Arn accepts and jumps inside the cage......only for MJF to back out and send in Terry Gordy to start for The Pinnacle against Arn!

In the meantime, Gordy gets busted open without the Horsemen even needing to use the cage! The first two minute period is over and Dr. Death  runs in to save his friend. He completely DESTROYS the Arn and Tully, including catapulting Tully into the cage multiple times! He doesn’t even stop to take a breather after that and follows up by giving Tully a running shoulder tackle. Meanwhile in the other ring, Gordy is just beating the crap out of Arn. Uh oh, Tully is now busted open! He gets hung out to dry on the ropes while being demolished by Doc and Gordy! Arn tries to save, but he gets dropped with a clothesline from Doc. In comes Ric Flair, who sneak-attacks Williams. He no-sells some chops, but then Arn comes up and clips Doc from behind. Flair and Arn then toss Williams face-first into the cage a bunch of times, while Tully chokes Gordy down on the mat. Then out of nowhere, Gordy comes back and clotheslines all three Horsemen to save Williams from getting beat up! Flair attacks Doc again while Arn keeps Gordy in the corner. Then, Flair leaves Doc alone and starts chopping Gordy and grinding his face up against the cage! Here comes Wardlow!!!

Flair is all over the place! He’s now over at the door to meet Wardlow and pokes him in the eyes to keep control of what’s happening in the match. Flair gets in a little offense, but then Wardlow explodes out of the corner with a DOUBLE LARIAT for Arn & Flair! He doesn’t stop and runs over and makes Tully taste the steel! Powerbomb to Tully! Meanwhile, Dr. Death is pressing Flair up and then slams him down to the canvas as MJF is outside the cage, loving what he sees. Wardlow has some fun playing a little ping-pong with Tully between the ropes.

Gordy rolls over to the other ring to shield Wardlow with his body, as Flair and Blanchard decide to beat the crap out of him as well. Arn leaves Windham alone with Dr. Death and continues the beatdown of Wardlow.

In comes MJF as the last member of the Pinnacle team to enter Wargames which means only one thing.......THE MATCH BEYOND HAS BEGUN! SUBMISSION OR SURRENDER! Arn delivers a double noggin knocker on Doc and Gordy while Flair is ripping at MJF’s face! Wardlow rushes to MJF's aid and annihilate Windham with a lariat. Gordy battles back and puts Tully into the Oriental Spike! Wardlow hits a powerslam on Flair! Now all the Horsemen are down! MJF begins giving orders to Wardlow..... "FINISH FLAIR OFF!" 

Wardlow grabs Flair...... POWERBOMB SYMPHONY! NOT 1......NOT 2.......NOT EVEN 3! MJF tells Wardlow to keep doing it! Dr. Death has Windham in a STF and Gordy still has Tully in the Oriental Spike! MJF pulls a bloody Arn up and tells him to look at what the Pinnacle have done to his Horsemen comrades. MJF tells Arn to quit.....or they will end Flairs career right now. Arn won't do it. MJF tells Wardlow to continue the damage. POWERBOMB SYMPHONY CONTINUES TO FLAIR! 10 of them to be exact. MJF tells Wardlow to hold Arn back. MJF grabs Flair who is in bad shape and locks in the Salt of the Earth! MJF screams to Arn to quit or he will retire Flair right now while he cinches in the hold even more. After a few seconds, Arn reluctantly says "I Quit" to save Flair..... giving The Pinnacle the win! The cage raises up as The Pinnacle celebrate and several EMT's attend to a motionless Flair. After a few minutes they have to put Flair on a stretcher to get him out of the ring as The Pinnacle stand victorious!



    Jim Ross: "Fans, I've called a many of Ric Flair matches, and not one time has the man ever been stretchered out until tonight. It looks like that pompous ass MJF, lived up to his promise of ending Ric Flairs career. And the sad part is....he didn't have a play in it. It was all Wardlow following his orders. Then the little bastard applies the Salt of the Earth. Just disgusting! Fans, we are almost out of time..... but please keep Ric Flair in your thoughts and prayers tonight! He's gonna need them. We will see you Saturday night at the pay per view!"
