Fall Brawl '98: War Games was the sixth Fall Brawl professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It took place on September 13, 1998, from the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. As of 2014 the event is available on the WWE Network.
Nine matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Team WCW (Diamond Dallas Page, Roddy Piper and The Warrior) defeated nWo Hollywood (Bret Hart, Hollywood Hogan and Stevie Ray) and nWo Wolfpac (Kevin Nash, Lex Luger and Sting) in a WarGames match, with Page pinning Ray to win the match and earn a WCW World Heavyweight Championship opportunity at Halloween Havoc. In another prominent match, Perry Saturn defeated Raven in a Raven's Rules match to free The Flock from Raven's control.
The event garnered negative reviews from critics, with the matches being criticised for lacking substance and setting up angles instead, and is regarded as one of the worst PPVs in WCW history. However, the Raven's Rules bout received praise, and was singled out as the best match of the night by most critics.
