Little/Unpopular Feuds You Liked

I've always been a sucker for the entire Kane and X-Pac saga from their run as tag champs, to their bitter rivalry involving Tori.

Good stuff all around.

I gotta go back a bit here with mine and say two come to mind for me.....


One is in 1992 - 1993 for WCW with having Ricky Steamboat & Shane Douglas vs. The Hollywood Blonds. They wrestled on World Wide, Pro, Main Event, Saturday Night, and even a Clash of the Champions. Just really good stuff from those two teams when everyone else was watching Barry Windham, Dustin Rhodes, Sting, Vader and such.


For the WWE, again I go back to 1993 and it's also a tag team feud.

The Steiner Brothers vs. Money Inc. feud was awesome back them. They had some awesome matches on Superstars, and had a few on Coliseum Videos as well. Not to mention the cage match on the SummerSlam special going into SummerSlam that year where they wrestled in a cage.


So those are the two that automatically pop out to me.

Yes, I also loved that one. It was so great seeing two new guys go up against the veterans that early in their careers.

Rock/Rikishi, anyone?

I liked this one too. I always thought that Kennedy should have won their match on PPV, but I enjoyed the feud. I remember on one Raw Kennedy bringing out a fake Diesel, fake Razor Ramon, and a fake Shawn Michaels. I really liked how much veterans WWE had Kennedy feud with.

Words can't describe how mad I got when they gave it to Edge. I was fuming. I have always wanted a Mr. MITB to "get injured" and be off for a while, then return and cash in.

The crowd would explode if Lesnar's music hit and he ran out with that briefcase. 

One that seems to never get the credit it deserves is Bret Hart vs Diesel this ran from 94 to 96 they had four great PPV matches and each one offered something different. We all know Bret is one of the all time best, but this series of four matches with the same big guy really do showcase just how good he was in the ring. And Kevin Nash as well I feel deserves a great deal of credit for the performances he put in.

I have an obscure one.... but it was a lot of fun and they put a lot of detail into it. I wish they thought stuff out like this today...

"Rugged" Ronnie Garvin VS Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, WWF sometime around late 1989 I think? - awesome feud that got almost ZERO attention....

I believe it started with the two having a regular match on one of the shows, maybe Primetime Wrestling.... I think Garvin won the match.... no big deal....

Valentine flipped out about losing - challenged Garvin to a "loser must retire" match the following week.....



This time, Valentine won, I think he cheated with a handful of tights.... Garvin was forced into retirement.

The next week, on a Mean Gene "Update" segment - it was revealed that since Garvin could no longer wrestle - he had applied for a referee license.

Garvin would pop up occasionally as a referee, seemed like a pretty good one.... but when he refereed a Valentine match on Saturday Night's Maine Event, he did a "fast count" resulting in Valentine losing....

* UPDATE - I just reviewed the YouTube video - actually Garvin cold-cocked Valentine & cost him the match!



So Garvin got banned from being a referee - then he became a ring announcer. That didn't work too well either....



Valentine flipped out again - Garvin was brought back and the two fought one-on-one at Royal Rumble 1990, I think...

When Garvin showed up at the Rumble - this time, HE was wearing an IDENTICAL shin-guard - and it came into play during the match when he used it to block the pressure of a figure-four leglock... it was a great match if you enjoy good ring psychology.....



Garvin won the match - and was never heard from in WWF again. And I think I'm the only person who enjoyed/remembered this feud, but I wish they would put this much thought into some of the feuds that go on today....
