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 tried to kiss a woman in the crowd who turned out to be Jake Roberts' real wife, then had her face airbrushed onto his wrestling tights; Roberts warned him not to wear them to the ring, and when Rude did anyway, tore them off for real, a genuine threat carried out inside a storyline built on someone's actual marriage.
