War amongst champions would imply a war among three or more champions, not two, if the word was used properly. A war between champions would imply two. Not that this helps much, but thought I'd throw that out there...
Prodigy is a synonym for divine intervention/ miracle
I ended up at Prodigy by linking "bore" with cylinder, and "war amongst champions" with vigorous and fast spark plug firing (Champion being a brand name of spark plugs), as happens at "Full Throttle," a song by the Prodigy. Decided the connection was weak and tossed it.
The combined logic on The Prodigy is as "solid" as any other we have had so far...I will add it and see if Gary will confirm or deny the bands listed in the first post.

I actually think that helps a lot. Now we know what not to look for. Ruling out things is always helpful.
k sorry I know you guys said you were gonna get away from the BoRe part and focus on the rest of the clue, but I found this mildly interesting and it might be of assistance....
when I read BoRe with the capitalization the way it is, I read is as Bo-Ray....just me? maybe...
Its a French card game in which "In the French game a player who plays and takes no tricks is said to be "bourré"....
could this be a wierd reference to someone who plays a lot of charity events? or multiple artists who do?
I'm thinkin Arcade Fire right off the bat, somebody help me fill in the rest
I liked this idea and either it got lost or nobody else liked it, anybody think this could be something? Anybody whos good at twating wanna at least ask gc for me?
What about Empire of the Sun? Empires wage wars of champions, and sun can be a form of divine intervention in everyday life. As for the BoRe, not 100% sure, but if we're switching the R and B, the band members do wear Robes...

I actually like it too. Might be worth exploring.
Bourre was the card game that Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenden were playing that led to Arenas getting suspended from the NBA following his bringing guns to the locker room. It's also the game that OJ Mayo and Tony Allen were playing on the team plane when they got into a brawl lately.
Fights over cards = war Athletes = champions
It's a stretch, but could there be some connection? Who would the divine intervention be? David Stern?
K keeping going with that, Lionel Hollins is the coach of Grizzlies who banned gambling on team trips, possibly the "divine intervention". A local radio host Chris Vernon made a song about Lionel Hollins, Vernon hosts a segment called "Sounds of Memphis".....all I got right now but I feel like this could be goin somewhere....
just a thought, Bouree (BoRe) is called a cross between poker and spades....a fight breaking out over a wierd type of poker could be referred to as "a crazy game of poker" mehh

still goin with this cuz i'm bored between classes, somebody help me funnel my thoughts into something productive......but if bouree is significant then....
"Bourrée in E minor is a popular lute piece, the fifth movement from Suite in E minor for Lute, BWV 996 (BC L166) written by Johann Sebastian Bach. Though it was written for the lute, it may be played with other string instruments, such as the guitar, mandola or mandocello, and keyboard instruments, and it is especially well-known among guitarists."
"The piece has been used by a number of musicians: Paul McCartney has said in interviews and on tours that the songs "Blackbird" and "Jenny Wren" were both inspired by variations and alterations to the bourrée.[2] The London Blues-rock group Bakerloo released their arrangement of the tune, titled "Drivin' Bachwards", as a single on Harvest Records (HAR 5004) in July 1969. The same recording appeared on their self-titled debut album (Harvest SHVL 762) the following December. Jethro Tull used the piece in the third track in their August 1969 album Stand Up, "Bourée".[3] A version of the same track appeared on The Jethro Tull Christmas Album. Led Zeppelin has used this piece in live performances while playing "Heartbreaker".[4] Tenacious D used it for their songs, "Rock Your Socks" and "Classico", which was played in Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny.[5] Yngwie Malmsteen has also been known to integrate this, among other works by Bach, into his live sets.[6] Leo Kottke performs "Bouree" on the album "Mudlark"."
Jethro Tull seems to have the most notable version of Bouree (for someone who's alive) he is on tour this summer, and has only one date booked during roo (June 10th in Phoenix)
K now i'm done for a while sorry if this leads nowhere!

Alright, this is looking like a Fistful of Mercy answer to me.
Divine intervention and war amongst champions = Mercy as I take the divine intervention part as the losers would be at mercy with the winner who had divine intervention
Titus Andronicus? Perhaps referring directly to the Shakespeare play? Based on the divine intervention it could be something like Deus Ex Machina. I feel pretty unsure of both of these since I don't understand the BoRe thing, but [Greek-based] drama seems like a good path to go down.
EDIT: I like where the Fistful of Mercy idea is headed though
Well, when bore something you tend to go through it and when you punch a hole in the wall, it's normally with a fist.
Got it...but it doesn't take into account that Gary said the B and R are uppercase for a reason.
ok so it looks like we have to figure something that fits the word bore and the B and R thing, so im thinking theyre either initals or an abbreviation for something, or it could be that they are totally independent but representing something important starting with B and something else starting with R. i definitely think that we may have to get away from the Bo____ Re_____ idea though...
...unless someone comes up with something spectacular that makes this all null. im totally stumped on this one.
Rooin' since '05...(except 2014...worst June of my life!)
"Hey Peter Frampton! Do you like toast too? Yes, as do I. It is warm and crispy, and a perfect place for jelly to lay. Now stay the hell away from me Frampton, I ain’t got sh*t to say to you!"

It just occurred to me that the wording "from one BoRe to another" had me mostly thinking a BoRe referred to a person...as in one person talking to another. And from what I've seen, it seems like a lot of people were kind of assuming that. But that doesn't really make much sense with the second half of the sentence.
It might make more sense if the BoRes were geographic places or maybe some sort of timeframe. Something that could describe the boundaries of the war amongst champions, y'know? A war could rage from one coast/city/country/etc to another. Or it could rage from one day/year/decade/etc to another.
The more I look at that first sentence the more I'm thinking our BoRes might not be people.

how about Queen.
2 members still doing it Brian may and Roger taylor
then there's this i pulled off some lolla board: "From one BoRe to another (Another One Bites The Dust), a war (Warboys) rages amongst champions (We Are The Champions). We're calling (Calling All Girls) for divine intervention (The Miracle)."
