Feuds and rivalries

Attitude Era·WWF·1996–1998

The Undertaker vs. Mankind (Apr 1996 – Jun 1998)

Mick Foley debuted as Mankind by ambushing The Undertaker the night after WrestleMania XII, took Paul Bearer away from him inside a boiler room, and two years later took two falls off and through a sixteen-foot cage in Pittsburgh that reset what a WWF main event was allowed to look like.

New Generation·WWF·1997

The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker (Aug 1997 – Oct 1997)

A SummerSlam chair shot meant for Bret Hart instead crashed into The Undertaker's skull, turning Shawn Michaels heel and igniting a rivalry that ran through a no-contest riot and a brass-knuckles brawl before landing on professional wrestling's first Hell in a Cell match. Kane tore the cell door off its hinges to end it, launching one of the most famous debuts in wrestling history and sending Michaels straight into the Montreal Screwjob five weeks later.

Attitude Era·WWF/WWE·1997–2003

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock (Dec 1997 – Mar 2003)

Austin beat him in five minutes over the Intercontinental title in 1997 and threw the belt in a river the next night. Six years later, on a night Austin had spent in a Seattle hospital, The Rock finally beat him at WrestleMania, and neither of them wrestled a full schedule again.

Attitude Era·WWF·1998–1999

The Rock vs. Mankind (Nov 1998 – Feb 1999)

Vince McMahon rang the bell on Mankind at Survivor Series to hand The Rock the WWF Championship, and the two of them spent the next three months trading it in a No DQ match on Raw, an empty arena during the Super Bowl, a ladder match and an I Quit match in Anaheim where Foley took eleven unprotected chair shots with his hands cuffed behind his back while his wife and children watched from the front row.

Golden Era·WWF·1983

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.

Attitude Era·ECW·1995–1997

Raven vs. Tommy Dreamer (Jan 1995 – Jun 1997)

ECW built the rivalry on an invented summer-camp backstory and a Penthouse model who claimed Dreamer had spurned her as a teenager. For two and a half years Tommy Dreamer could not beat Raven one on one, until a Loser Leaves Town match in June 1997 sent Raven to WCW. Two years later they were tag team champions together.

Attitude Era·WWF·1997–1999

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Mr. McMahon (Sep 1997 – Jul 1999)

A boss-versus-employee rivalry born out of Steve Austin's real neck injury and Vince McMahon's new on-screen villainy, escalating from a single Stone Cold Stunner into a year and a half of Corporation ambushes, rigged tournaments, and stipulation matches that defined the Attitude Era and turned around the WWF's fortunes against WCW.
