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.

Superfly Jimmy Snuka vs. The Magnificent Don Muraco (Jun 1983 – Dec 1983)

Jimmy Snuka chased Don Muraco's Intercontinental Championship through every major Northeast arena in the summer of 1983, lost the cage match at Madison Square Garden that October, and then splashed Muraco from the top of the cage in a dive that inspired Mick Foley to become a wrestler.

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.
