Background
This was the second WarGames of the night, and the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, and Gino Hernandez, with J.J. Dillon at ringside, entered confident but visibly tense after a long night of carnage. On the other side, Ricky Steamboat—still burning from betrayals and past beatdowns—looked to exact revenge alongside allies Snuka and Luger.

Narrative Recap

The match opened with Steamboat and Flair, a rivalry steeped in respect and hatred. Flair immediately raked Steamboat’s face into the cage mesh, but the Dragon fought back with chops, each one echoing through the Greensboro Coliseum. The crowd roared as Steamboat, bloodied but unbowed, refused to stay down.

When Luger entered, he brought power to the mix, nearly crushing Arn Anderson with a bear hug before Flair dove in to save him. Snuka’s arrival turned the tide completely, with a body slam and Superfly leap that had the heels reeling against the steel.

But when Gino Hernandez tagged in, everything slowed. Unlike Flair and Arn, who thrived in the violence, Gino looked hesitant. He ate brutal shots from Snuka, got planted by a Steamboat slam, and even Arn was seen barking at him to toughen up. Flair’s frustration was evident too—at one point screaming across the ring for Gino to “get your head in the game!”

The Match Beyond saw chaos unfold. Arn’s spinebuster on Snuka drew gasps, Flair locked Luger in the figure-four, and Gino tried desperately to prove himself, hitting a back-buster that looked more lucky than crisp. Still, the cracks were showing—every time Gino was in, the momentum shifted against his team.

At the 30-minute mark, all six men were exhausted, and the cage had turned into a blood-soaked battleground. Steamboat finally got his moment: after being double-teamed by Flair and Arn, he rallied with a desperate burst—karate chops to both Horsemen, a running slam that rattled Arn, and then zeroed in on Gino.

With the crowd on their feet, Steamboat rammed Hernandez face-first into the cage three times before locking him in the ropes and unleashing a flurry of chops. A final karate chop to the gut dropped Gino to the mat. Steamboat hooked the legs, and with Arn too battered to break it up, Scrappy McGowan counted the decisive three.

Official Result:
Ricky Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka & Lex Luger defeated Ric Flair, Arn Anderson & Gino Hernandez in 42 minutes when Steamboat pinned Gino Hernandez with a karate chop into a cage-assisted pin.

Aftermath
The babyfaces celebrated as Flair stormed out, cursing under his breath. Arn shoved Gino hard in the chest after the bell, clearly disgusted with his performance. Even J.J. Dillon looked frustrated, wagging a finger in Hernandez’s face as the Horsemen regrouped.

Bob Caudle: “Johnny, Ricky Steamboat has finally done it—he’s gotten his revenge here tonight!”

Johnny Weaver: “Yes, but look at Arn and Flair, Bob. They’ve lost this battle, but I promise you—they’re already thinking about how to win the next one. And I don’t think Gino’s standing tall with them much longer.”

Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (63%)
Violent, bloody, and dramatic. Steamboat’s redemption story carried the night, while Gino’s weak link performance added a compelling layer of drama. A must-see WarGames match with storyline fallout guaranteed.
