Feuds and rivalries

Golden Era·NWA (Jim Crockett Promotions)·1985–1987

Nature Boy Ric Flair and The Four Horsemen vs. The American Dream Dusty Rhodes (Sep 1985 – Jul 1987)

Ric Flair broke Dusty Rhodes' ankle at the Omni in September 1985, Rhodes answered with the Hard Times promo, and the two years that followed produced the Four Horsemen, a fourteen-day world title reign, a baseball bat in a parking lot, and the first WarGames match.

Attitude Era·WCW·1996

The New World Order vs. WCW (May 1996 – Dec 1996)

Scott Hall's shock walk-in from the crowd on Nitro, Kevin Nash's arrival two weeks later, and Hulk Hogan's heel turn at Bash at the Beach launched an invasion angle built on real WWF contract jumps, turning WCW's Monday night ratings around and igniting the New World Order's first chaotic year against the promotion it claimed to be taking over.

Attitude Era·WCW·1996–1998

Sting vs. Hollywood Hogan (Sep 1996 – Feb 1998)

Eighteen months of Sting silently stalking the New World Order from the rafters built to Starrcade 1997's WCW World Heavyweight Championship match, a finish so botched by conflicting instructions and Hollywood Hogan's last-minute creative control that the title had to be vacated and settled two months later at SuperBrawl VIII.

Also appears in

Golden Era·NWA·1989

Nature Boy Ric Flair vs. Ricky The Dragon Steamboat (Jan 1989 – May 1989)

Steamboat's surprise return from a year away sparked a three-match series for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, at Chi-Town Rumble, Clash of the Champions VI, and WrestleWar, that Dave Meltzer rated five stars three times over and is still routinely called the best in-ring trilogy in wrestling history.
