Feuds and rivalries

New Generation·WWF·1993–1994

Bret The Hitman Hart vs. Owen Hart (Nov 1993 – Nov 1994)

Owen Hart got eliminated at Survivor Series because his brother stumbled into him, spent two months asking for a match he could not get, and then kicked Bret's leg out from under him at the Royal Rumble, starting a year that produced the best-remembered opening match in WrestleMania history and a five-star cage match with their parents at ringside.

Hulk Hogan vs. The Iron Sheik (Dec 1983 – Jan 1984)

The Iron Sheik held the WWF Championship for less than a month as a transitional flag-waving heel before Hulk Hogan escaped the camel clutch at Madison Square Garden to win the title, launching Hulkamania and, by both men's later account, surviving a $100,000 bribe to break Hogan's leg instead.
