The Heenan Family
The Heenan Family figures in three storylines documented on WrestlingFeuds, spanning 1986–1988 in WWF.
Storylines
Hulk Hogan vs. Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff (Jul 1986 – Mar 1987)
Paul Orndorff spent a year as Hulk Hogan's tag partner, then piledrove him on television after Adrian Adonis spent weeks calling him "Hulk junior." Their title match filled Toronto's Exhibition Stadium with a then-record outdoor wrestling crowd, and the feud ended in a steel cage match that had to be restarted after two referees declared different winners.

Hulk Hogan vs. André the Giant (Jan 1987 – Aug 1988)
André the Giant turned on his friend Hulk Hogan and challenged him for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania III, in front of a WWF-announced 93,173 at the Pontiac Silverdome.

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.
