Paid Members martyngnr Posted November 19, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hogan vs Savage in 88/89. The year-long build with Savage's paranoia/jealousy of Hogan and Liz was tremendous, culminating in (for me) the best Mania main event of all.

Â If i remember correctly apart from the first promo it wasn't much of a build, in fact i think if truth be told WWE never quite realised what they had on their hands until the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zep81 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Would have to go with Austin/Bret or USA/Canada from 1996/97. A lesser mentioned one though that I loved so much I made a DVD compilation a few years ago is Savage/Page. Easily the best feud WCW ever booked.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted November 20, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 Bret/Lawler was a great feud, too. Lawler was in particularly amazing form - was a true heel in his element, tremendously detestable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Maverick Posted November 20, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 20, 2014 Another fan of DDP-Savage here, interesting to see you made that comp Rick, I had one under production in my TT days too. It really brought DDP to the fore as someone who could compete with the top names in WCW and they had some class brawls. It sort of existed outside the nWo/WCW bubble aswell even though they were both aligned, Liz and Kimberly added to it too. My favorite thing when I went back and watched the 97 Nitros a few years bacl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they knew from day 1 that Rock would face Hogan at Mania, and there was a build - but it's not in the league of DDP V Savage or Austin V Hart.

King Coconut Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I always have to go back to Jake The Snake Vs Earthquake here. That shit was the only playground topic of conversation for weeks on end. What sort of a man kills another man's pet with his arse? An evil man, that's who.

Otto Dem Wanz Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 First post here after lurking for a year or so, hi everyone. I'll echo one previous shout in this thread and nominated Undertaker vs Kane as my favourite feud, the first years or so at least before it got a bit TOO silly.  The June 30th 1997 Raw is great as its where Paul Bearer cuts the promo revealing the Undertakers "dark secret" that he supposedly killed his family and after being slapped around later on tells us that the Undertakers "dead" brother is actually still alive. I think the slow burning and intricate story between Paul Bearer, The Undertaker and Kane (the genesis was Summerslam 96 and culminated in its first match nearly two years later at Mania 14) with generous amounts of Vader and Mankind is my favourite thing in wrestling ever.   People HATED Paul Bearer, best exemplified by the nutter who attacks him on his way to the ring in the aforementioned show! Calling the Undertaker a murdering twat, burning him alive, smashing up his parents graves amongst other things. Great stuff.  I suppose its because it involves everything I like about the wrestling; exaggerated, colourful, logical (for the most part), a bit daft but completely enjoyable.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavinSAFC Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Bryan v the Authority has to be up there, surely? The payoff at last year's Mania was genuinely brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnuts Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I was 10 years old, I was/am a huge Bret Hart fan and Bret vs Owen circa WM 10 had me hooked like nothing else has ever hooked me. I know I was only 10 but they both played their parts just so well. Hart family battles have always been my guilty pleasure (even the Hart Dynasty haha!)

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted November 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2014 I loved the Savage vs Jake feud. It was the epitome of wrestling at its best. It had everything, Romance, vengeance, evil and crossed the line at the time. The snake as a wedding gift, the savage snake bite, the slap to Liz which was really shocking. It had two incredible wrestlers at the centre of it all, but the one thing I could criticise if anything, was that the pay off seemed like it could have been more. Â Regardless, it was insane for its time. Â I think the Savage, Flair, Liz angle was brilliant too, but the Savage/Jake feud tops it form me personally.
