Feuds and rivalries

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/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·1998–2000

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.

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.

Modern Era·WWE·2011

John Cena vs. CM Punk (Jun 2011 – Aug 2011)

CM Punk sat cross-legged on the Raw entrance ramp with a real expiring contract and turned a list of grievances into the biggest angle WWE ran in a decade, then beat John Cena for the WWE Championship in his hometown and walked out of the building with the belt.

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.
