Tony Khan ripped off nothing, it was Cody's idea. Cody spent a lot of effort into getting the rights to everything his dad came up with that Vince let lapse and he ended up selling it all to get his last name back. They did rename it to Blood & Guts because WWE owns War Games and the Match Beyond so they couldn't call it that and Vince accused AEW of being blood and guts wrestling (compared to WWE family-friendly sports entertainment) and they wore it like a hat.

Cody Rhodes attempted to be Dusty Rhodes for AEW and he couldn't hack it. The fact that they still do a lot of Dusty Rhodes shit like War Games and battle royals for props should tell you the mark Cody left on the company.

The 1988 War Games matches were clearly on the Great American Bash tour but they didn't do it on PPV that year. Probably because they ran it from Baltimore where bleeding isn't allowed. AEW even got fined for Omega vs Mox having a light's out death match there a few years back.

PPV bump. Normal PPV bump plus the story of Forbidden Door being so hype and doing good numbers after all the doomsaying and uncertainty got people to watch. Probably the Blood & Guts match too, though I personally wasn't looking forward to it any more than a normal Dynamite.
