Feuds and rivalries

Golden Era·NWA·1989

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

Steamboat's surprise return to the NWA 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, with a six-star house show in between.

Golden Era·NWA/WCW·1989

Nature Boy Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk (May 1989 – Nov 1989)

Minutes after Ric Flair closed out his trilogy with Ricky Steamboat, ringside judge Terry Funk asked for a title shot, got turned down, and piledrove Flair through a table, opening a six-month war that ran through a plastic bag over Flair's head and closed with an I Quit match the Wrestling Observer named 1989's Feud of the Year.

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.

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·ECW·1995–1997

Sabu vs. Taz (Feb 1995 – Apr 1997)

Sabu and Taz won the ECW World Tag Team Championship together, then Sabu skipped a scheduled title match to take a better-paying date in Japan, and Paul Heyman legitimately fired him in front of the ECW Arena crowd. The real resentment Taz carried over it simmered for two years before ECW turned it into one of the two featured matches on the company's first pay-per-view.
