This is SO obvious I am not sure why it took me so long to see it.

Bang on mate. The rivalry amongst both of them is in direct reference to Tesla & Edison's war of AC & DC. Kudos to your deduction !!

Nope. Its about magicians, not electricians.

Yes of course it's about the magicians. I was referring to the metamorphical showcase of the professinal raivilery berween Tesla & Edison as Agnier & Bordon. Both Agnier & Borden are representative expressions of Tesla & Edison.

Oh wow, great observation! Not sure it's so obvious until pointed out. Very clever.
