The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels vs. Sycho Sid (Jul 1996 – Jan 1997)
Shawn Michaels spent his 1996 WWF Championship reign defending it against the same handful of opponents, until his one-time bodyguard turned attacker turned ally, Sycho Sid, chased off a rival at ringside and earned a title shot of his own. Sid beat Michaels for the belt in front of a Madison Square Garden crowd that booed the champion out of the building, and Michaels won it back two months later in San Antonio while running a fever, only to forfeit the title three weeks after that over a knee injury Bret Hart never believed was real.

The Hart Foundation vs. The United States (Mar 1997 – Nov 1997)
Bret Hart turned heel by attacking Steve Austin's fans instead of Austin, reformed the Hart Foundation with his real family, and spent 1997 getting cheered across Canada and Britain while getting booed everywhere in the United States, an angle that peaked in front of a delirious Calgary crowd and ended in the same building where Brian Pillman was found dead and, five weeks later, in Montreal.
