4. WrestleWar 1991: WarGames – The Four Horsemen vs. Brian Pillman, Sting & The Steiner Brothers

This is one of the greatest gimmick matches in wrestling history. The bitterness and excitement start from the very beginning, as Bryan Pillman gets his revenge on Barry Windham. With each additional entry, the match gets more unpredictable and chaotic, and the audience simply erupts as each new entry comes in.

It isn’t hard to see why so many people love this type of match. The drama and anticipation with each additional entry are akin to the Royal Rumble entrants, but this match allows for more intricate storytelling and psychology, which makes this match more enjoyable.

The only real knock against this match (pardon the pun) is the set of botched Powerbombs that Sid executed onto Brian Pillman. The first one looked utterly horrid and the second one appeared to legitimately knock him out.

While this was indeed an exciting match, serious botches like that prevented it from scoring any higher on this list.
