Feuds and rivalries

Golden Era·WWF·1991–1992

Macho Man Randy Savage vs. Jake The Snake Roberts (Aug 1991 – Feb 1992)

Jake Roberts crashed Randy Savage's wedding reception with a cobra in a gift box, had the real thing bite him on live TV, and slapped Miss Elizabeth. The feud drew death threats, upset Elizabeth's real family, and ended before its WrestleMania payoff.

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.

The Rock vs. Triple H (Jul 1998 – Jun 2000)

Dwayne Johnson and Paul Levesque spent two years trading the Intercontinental and WWF Championships across a ladder match, a strap match, a Fatal Four-Way, and a sixty-minute Iron Man match with Shawn Michaels as referee, a rivalry that grew out of real backstage friction between two ambitious young stars and ended with both of them running the company's next decade.

New Generation·WWF·1992–1997

Bret Hitman Hart vs. Shawn Michaels The Heartbreak Kid (Jul 1992 – Nov 1997)

A five-year rivalry between the WWF's two defining New Generation stars ended with Vince McMahon secretly ordering the bell rung on Bret Hart's own Sharpshooter, handing Shawn Michaels the WWF Championship without Hart's knowledge or submission in Hart's home country of Montreal, an incident that broke apart a real friendship, birthed the villainous Mr. McMahon character, and is still argued about by everyone involved.

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.

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.
