Feuds and rivalries
Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. Greg The Hammer Valentine (Apr 1983 – Nov 1983)
Greg Valentine cracked Roddy Piper's ear open when he took the NWA United States title back in Greensboro, then spent the summer calling it the Year of the Ear. The two of them settled it at the first Starrcade, chained together by dog collars for sixteen minutes of real blood, and Piper came out of it with permanent hearing loss he carried for the rest of his life.

Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. Superfly Jimmy Snuka (Mar 1984 – Mar 1985)
Roddy Piper smashed a coconut over Jimmy Snuka's head on Piper's Pit in 1984, starting a grudge that ran through the WWF's arenas all summer and fed into the main event of the first WrestleMania.

Hulk Hogan vs. Rowdy Roddy Piper (Jun 1984 – Mar 1985)
Roddy Piper's contempt for the WWF's new MTV-driven Rock 'n' Wrestling Connection escalated from talk-show insults into an assault on Cyndi Lauper, pulling in champion Hulk Hogan and building to the first WrestleMania, a closed-circuit show Vince McMahon called the biggest gamble of his career.

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.

Bret Hitman Hart vs. Goldberg (Mar 1999 – Dec 1999)
Twelve days after winning the WCW World Tag Team Championship together, Bret Hart and Goldberg met for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade 1999. A kick that was supposed to miss caught Hart in the head, and the concussion that followed, compounded by more in the days after, ended his in-ring career within a year.

Also appears in
The Ultimate Warrior vs. Ravishing Rick Rude (Jan 1989 – Aug 1990)
It started with a posedown and a steel bar, ran through two Intercontinental title changes and a WWF Championship cage match, and by the end, according to the referee who was there, Rick Rude was chasing the Ultimate Warrior into his limo for real.

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.
