The Undertaker vs. Mankind (Apr 1996 – Jun 1998)

Mick Foley debuted as Mankind by ambushing The Undertaker the night after WrestleMania XII, took Paul Bearer away from him inside a boiler room, and two years later took two falls off and through a sixteen-foot cage in Pittsburgh that reset what a WWF main event was allowed to look like.

D-Generation X vs. The Nation of Domination (Mar 1998 – Sep 1998)

Within a day of WrestleMania XIV, both factions changed hands: Triple H inherited D-Generation X from a retiring Shawn Michaels, and The Rock took The Nation of Domination from Faarooq. The rivalry between the two new leaders ran through a widely condemned blackface parody, a two-out-of-three-falls time-limit draw, a weapons-filled street fight, and a SummerSlam ladder match that made both men into main-eventers.
