Yes I know it's scripted, but no I don't think that takes away from the athleticism of some of these guys
Anyway for the WWF fans out there I wanted to know what you consider as your favourite all time feud? I'll throw up a poll and a few videos of some all time classics, but add in whatever you want.
Personally I'd go for Bret vs Austin. I think the way the whole feud was handled, with Bret getting more and more frustrated, leading to the classic WrestleMania 13 match and heel turn was as perfect as it gets in wrestling. The continuing feud up to Austin injuring Bret's knee provided the foundations for the WWF to turn things around against WCW and not go out of buisness in my eyes. I would have gone for Sting vs Hogan had they not had a ridiculous end to their pay off match at Starrcade '97. Really, how Hogan was allowed pass this over as a good ending to the feud is beyond me. Savage vs Warrior is an absolute belter as well

I voted Rock-Austin but in all honesty HHH-Austin and HHH-Rock were probably better. Special mention to Rock-Foley, Benoit-Jericho, Shane McMahon-Test, Edge+Christian-Hardys, HHH-Foley and Orton-Undertaker... those were the days
Watched a bit of it this weekend though, wasn't bad. It's good to see Edge and Jeff Hardy doing well after years of hard work.
The whole Corporation - Ministry angle from 99 got me back interested in wrestling when I was on work experience from college. I was usually hungover on saturday mornings, so it was perfect braindead tv! Had some really messed up stuff in it in retrospect, kidnappings, crucifiction, and the ending of it all with Vince as the higher power, meaning he had ordered the kidnapping of his own daughter just to screw with Stone Cold, was an awful cop out.
Special mention for the Hardys - Edge+Christian - Dudleys feud that made the tag division interesting again. And for getting Lita more airtime!
Great thread. More please but IMO one of the best was bret vs shwan michaels for the aftermath and the seriousness about it. thats why i voted other

See that's the problem with Bret vs Shawn, outside of WM12 and Survivor Series 1997 they refused to fight each other, even at that SS97 can hardly be counted as a proper match. Proper outside the ring feud Bret vs Shawn wins hands down, but in the ring I think the listed ones provided more entertainmentOriginally Posted by bellavistaman
Well I do, and I've moved it out of sports.Yes I know it's scripted, but no I don't think that takes away from the athleticism of some of these guys

Personally I really enjoyed the Chris Benoit v Chris Jericho feud over the Intercontinental Title about 5 years ago. Some tremendous wrestling and good contrast of styles. Jericho also had the personality to carry Benoit's lack of mic skills.
I loved the whole McMahon family feud back in 2000. I think it all came to a head at Wrestlemania, iirc, with Stephanie backing HHH, Vince backing The Rock, Shane backing Bigshow and Linda backing Mick Foley in a four-way title match.
Kane vs. The Undertaker was another favourite of mine.
The Kurt Angle/Brock Lesnar feud was pretty good too.
The Big Boss Man/Bigshow one you were telling me about the other night was pretty hilarious too.

Not into wrestling since i was small but after seeing this i looked it up came across this..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Screwjob
Video of it here.....The Montreal Screwjob was the real life double-crossing of defending WWF Champion Bret Hart by Vince McMahon, the owner of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), during the main event match of the professional wrestling pay-per-view event Survivor Series held on November 9, 1997 at the Molson Centre in Montreal, Quebec. A secret change of the match's pre-determined finish (known as a "shoot screwjob" in professional wrestling parlance) was devised by McMahon and discussed with Hart's match opponent, Shawn Michaels. The plan was executed when the match referee, Earl Hebner, under orders from McMahon, called for the bell to ring and ended the match as Michaels held Hart in the Sharpshooter submission hold (Hart's signature finishing move), even though Hart had not submitted. Michaels was declared the victor by submission and crowned as the new WWF Champion, even as Hart and the audience demonstrated their outrage.

Very interesting, while i'm not into wrestling i love reading up on stuff like this. You can see how ****ed of Hart is, so much so he spits at McMahon, even the commentators did'nt know it was going to happen as indicated by a few things they say, never saw a WWF crowd as angry
There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D
That was one of the most god awful world title feuds in rasslin' history! It was the first ever WWF World title feud that I'd ever seen not make the main event. It was a mere appetiser to Vince v HHH grudge match that main evented that PPV. The feud did have some "that's so bad it's good" moments like the tasteless on-screen "death" of the Big Show's father by cancer and the Bossman stealing his casket from the funeral.All in all though it was a pretty poor pairing for the top belt in the industry and the match was woeful. Big Show's whole title reign very took a back seat and he merely kept the belt warm before HHH took the belt back off him.

Austin VS McMahon. I don't know how it wasn't an option so therefore i voted for other.
Actually when i was posting here earlier and trying to remember some feuds this one came straight to mind, i kind of got back into wrestling around 1999 when i was 13 until around just after the whole ''WWF Vs ECW/WCW'' there were some great years around then, Austin and McMahon really came across like a genuine feud.
I suppose since mentioning it WWF Vs ECW/WCW was a feud itself!!.

Proper. Ballet dancers and circus trapese acts have tremendous athleticism. They're not sports either.
Besides ...ye'd nothing involving Big Daddy or Kendo Nagasaki.
