Major Feuds

Recommended Posts

Guest Anglesault

I was watching my WM XIX DVD, specifcally the Undertaker extra, when it dawned on me: Undertaker has never faced Mankind in any way at a Mania.

 

For such a major feud that spanned like four years and God knows how many PPVs, I think that's kind of funny.

 

Any other big feuds with no Mania?

Hogan and Piper never had a one-on-one match at WrestleMania, and I've always contended that had Piper been in the cage at WrestleMania 2 instead of Bundy they'd have made incredible money.

They have fought though.

 

It's not like Taker/Mankind, Austin/Taker or HHH/Taker who just never crossed paths.

Rock/Mankind. The feud lasted from about November 1998 to February 1999, with four title changes: Rock-Mankind-Rock-Mankind-Rock. Then, right before WrestleMania, it was dropped in favor of a Austin/Rock match.

 

They would eventually fight each other in 2000, but I don't think we can really count the Fatal Four-Way.

HHH/Taker wrestled at WrestleMania X-7.

 

Might want to change that ;)

I think you mean Austin v. Taker 'Sault.

 

 

How about Austin v. Angle as a match that never happened at WM?

I'm an imbecile, that as HHH/AUSTIN.

 

HHH/Taker wrestled at WrestleMania X-7.

 

Might want to change that 

 

See above.

While they never feuded in WWE really, I always found it f'd up that we never got a Flair/Hogan match at a WrestleMania.

 

I heard that was the original plan (which makes sense since Flair was pretty much starting a feud with him when he cost Hogan the title at SSeries 91), but got nixed because of the steroid trial debacle.

What else is funny is that the feud started one night after WM12.

Look above NY Untouchable. Already corrected and I didn't need to use that horrible emoticon to do it. :lol:

 

Austin v. McMahon never happened at WM either

Just a note, I am counting tags and threeways/fourways

Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker fought several times on PPV (IYH: Ground Zero, IYH: Badd Blood, Royal Rumble Casket Match), but they never fought at a WrestleMania.

Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker I'd guess, since they had a big feud for the second half of 97 and into 98, but then Taker had Kane to worry about so HBK was booked with Austin.

 

Undertaker/Rock never happened at WM I don't think. I don't think anyone mentioned it either unless my memory is that terrible.

Was Undertaker/Rock even that big?

 

I think they had two one month feuds, three years apart.

Thats even weirder. Two Main Eventers for the past 5 years (in UT's case, too lnog to count) have rarely feuded.

They've had their fair share of matches with each other.

 

King of the Ring 1999

Unforgiven 2000

No Way Out 2002

Vengeance 2002

 

And countless Raw matches where JR would proclaim "My gawd, never have we seen a match of THIS magnitude on Raw before." Despite the fact the match had taken place like two weeks ago.

I can't believe they blew their load at St. Valentines Day Massacare with the Austin/Vince match in 1999. Sure, I'm glad that we got Rock/Austin from a wrestling fans standpoint, but the Vince/Austin fued had been building for a year and was the hottest thing in wrestling ever. With Russo in the drivers seat, that had to have at least been an option.

Unforgiven 2000

That was more of two big feuds (Taker/Kane and Benoit/Rock) being shoved into one match than Taker/Rock feuding.

Well, yeah, but Rock and Taker also had their own problems leading into the match. I remember Taker chokeslamming Rock on a Smackdown or Raw right before the PPV.

 

They may not have been feuding directly, but they were still involved in a feud against each other and fought one another on a PPV. I would still consider that a feud, although it may be a more minor case than the others.

 

Randy Savage and Jake The Snake also had a relatively nice, long feud - but I don't recall them wrestling each other at WrestleMania.

King of the Ring 1999 you mean. :P  98 was Rocky Vs. Kenny

Consider it changed. I suck at remembering years.

 

Another one: The Undertaker vs. Yokozuna. Considering Yokozuna KILLED Undertaker at Royal Rumble 1994 - and we watched Taker ascend into Heaven - you would think they'd fight on the biggest show of the year. Not so.

Hogan/Earthquake & Hogan/Flair come to mind immediately. LOD/Demolition is another one that started a feud in the summer and continued through January when all of a sudden Power & Glory got moved over from their Hart Foundation feud and replaced Demolition in the Wrestlemania match.
