WWF/WWE best rivalries?

Which rivalries do you guys think were/are the best in wrestling? I liked the Undertaker and the Million $ corporation rivalry, that produced some of the best matches e.g. Undertaker vs Undertaker, Undertaker vs King Kong, Undertaker vs Kama.

Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior. Back when wresting was amazing.

Steve Austin vs The Rock DUUH!

When i learned that WWE is scripted i stopped watching it

Brothers of Destruction and DX are my favorite partners

Nothing beats the Steve Austin vs McMahon and NWO Era of wrestling. The late 90's were the pinnacle IMO Monday Night Wars were at their maximum. Ton's of great wrestlers, great characters, and good action. It's no wonder that the quality of show and superstar has fallen in recent years. Guys are being brought up before they are ready, and in an effort to push the envelope the storylines are either absurd, or just lame rehashes of tried and true ideas. I really can't get into the top stars of today, and am only interested when I hear of the return of an old favorite like Kane or Jericho only to find Kane in some asinine arch with John Cena. Jericho has been funny though, as he always is.Nuck81

I'll agree the stories were the best in the late 90s. The wrestlers though, by far, were the best in the mid 80s-mid 90s.

Can't really beat Ric Flair/Randy Savage/Ricky Steamboat/Mr Perfect/Bret Hart/HBK/etc. That time period probably had some of the worst wrestlers too though.

Last summer there was a time period when CM Punk was playing an "Austin vs McMahon"-like role and it was really fun.

I agree that I'd like to see more interesting characters, even if they're borderline cartoonish like Ultimate Warrior was. It's better than guys with first and last names who just fall into two personality types: "cocky" or "nice"

I always loved the HHH vs Y2J fued in the early 2000's

• Eddie Guerrero (my favorite wrestler of all time, R.I.P.) vs. JBL and Kurt Angle

and

not a rivalries but my favorite matches:

• Kane(second fav wrestler) vs. Undertaker
• Chris Jericho vs. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit

The Rock/Mankind.

There are plenty of guys that can still work, but unfortunately the story line has taken center stage. Back in the 80's and 90's it was still about the matches, the storylines were just the catalyst to get them in the ring. Not so much anymore, which is a shame. That was one of my favorite things about WCW before Vince Russo took over. There were three or four main sotry archs per show, but most of the two hours were just two guys in the ring putting on an entertaining match. Lance Storm Ultimo Dragon Booker T William Regal Fit Finaly Eddie Guerrero Dean Malenko Chris Jericho Christian Cage Psychosis Kurt Angle Kane Chris Jericho All among my favorite wrestlers. There are lots more I'm forgettingNuck81

And I've never seen a single show of TNA, so I have no clue what's going on there. Nuck81

The Invasion(WCW and ECW vs. WWF)

[deleted]

The Invasion should have been so much better than it was. They just turned it into a McMahon family feud instead.

Not to mention a lot of the biggest WCW guys didn't come to WWE until later, like DDP/Goldberg/NWO

TNA is terrible.

In the mid 2000s when the company focused on AJ StyIes/Chris Daniels/Samoa Joe was awesome. I remember the X Division title actually seemed more important than the NWA Heavyweight Title for a short period of time.

Then it just turned into a place where WWE rejects and other washed up guys could show up. Now they've added guys like Crimson and Gunner who blow.

Triple H and Shawn Michaels came to mind, as did The Rock and Hollywood Hulk Hogan

Do you avoid watching other TV shows or movies because they're scripted?

nope

i really thought wrestling is real

i have watched that for 5 years (2001-2006) i was like 6 years old when i first watched wrestling

i also have wrestling action figures and a ring with micro series and the deluxe version with breakable table and laptop and such

i really enjoyed someone getting hurt at that time, when i knew that it was scripted i feel sad and stopped watching it

Vince McMahon's been saying that it's scripted entertainment for 30 years.
