Storylines that built through here
Hulk Hogan vs. Macho Man Randy Savage (Oct 1987 – Apr 1989)
The partnership between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage collapsed at WrestleMania V in one of the WWF's most carefully built storylines, driven by jealousy over Miss Elizabeth and the WWF Championship.

Jake The Snake Roberts vs. Ravishing Rick Rude (Mar 1988 – Nov 1988)
Rick Rude picked a woman from the crowd for his post-match kiss who turned out to be Jake Roberts' real wife, then had her face airbrushed onto his tights. Roberts says he warned Rude not to wear them, and when Rude did anyway, tore them off for real. The two worked the angle across the summer of 1988 on TV and house shows before Roberts ended it with a DDT at Survivor Series.
