Pretty simple. I know many would want Austin-McMahon but I kept it wrestler vs. wrestler. So yeah, which do you think was the best feud?

I went with HBK vs. Bret, just because there was so much realism in that feud, being both men legit had issues with each other, and hated each other more times than often.
So far, the HBK vs. Bret is the only feud that had a whole DVD set/Blu Ray set released on the matter. So I had to go with those two.

Cena vs Edge for me, it took a mid carder edge and put him in the spot light

Kane vs the Undertaker. No? :/ Those two were never the top two stars in the company for a consistent period of time, unlike the 8 guys in the poll. |

Rock vs Austin by far. It's one of, if not, the most well known feud in WWE history.

You really think Kane-UT was a generation defining rivalry? I assume you place it in the Attitude Era generation (although it spans longer than that), so you think its bigger than Rock-Austin? |

Like 2-3 months with a number of random matches happening afterwards? |

I'd say so. How long was the Rock/Austin feud? Like 2-3 months with a number of random matches happening afterwards? They started fighting in 98 and had a match every year (apart from 2000 where Austin was out for 95% of it, and 2002 where Rock was out for half of it) until Austin's final match in 2003, where Rock was his hand-picked opponent. They faced off at least twice in 99 and 3 times in 2001 (including the 5-on-5 Survivor Series match). That's a pretty big feud, and they were the 2 biggest stars in the company from 98/99 to 2003. Kane was never one of the two biggest stars in the company, and whilst Undertaker's longevity is unmatched I struggle to think of a full 365 days where he was one of the top two stars in WWE. Maybe 98-99 whilst Rock was still rising. |

Maybe 98-99 whilst Rock was still rising. I just don't think of Austin and Rock as a 'life long feud' where as Taker and Kane, though also a tag team here and there, have spent 90% of the time trying to kill each other. It also doesn't help that my knowledge of 'Stone Cold, I.C. Champion' and Rock as a midcarder doesn't hold up well. There was never a time when it was 'Rock and Austin' trying to really end each other outside of 1998, even in 2001 it was just Rock and Austin stealing each others finishing moves, managers, and being placed in tag team matches - Uptil the end of the year. Where as Kane and Taker spent every single time they're on the same roster trying to murder each other. I wouldn't compare the two feuds really but think that Austin/McMahon has a stronger case against Kane/Taker. |

I wouldn't compare the two feuds really but think that Austin/McMahon has a stronger case against Kane/Taker. You're forgetting 2003, which had Hollywood Rock and a fantastic buildup imo. You could also argue the same for much of Undertaker and Kane - they were friends for basically all of 2001 (teaming up after WM and again at Survivor Series) and have reunited as the BOD more than once in recent years. Whilst its definitely a great feud I don't think it defines an era, whereas the ones above are pretty much the first thing you think of when you think of their respective eras. McMahon-Austin might pip Rock-Austin in some people's eyes but like I said I wanted to focus on wrestler-wrestler feuds, and honestly the Attitude Era was so successful that it could have two defining feuds. |

I personally would've replaced Hogan-Savage with Hogan-Piper. that feud not only helped elevate the WWf to a National level,not only sparked the Rock n Wrestling Connection,but it also helped usher in the Era of WrestleMania.
Hogan-Savage was great, and a hell of a feud,but I don't think it defined a generation as much as Hogan-Piper did.

Austin - Rock. Their final match at WM19 is one of my favourite of all times. Great stuff

Hogan-Savage was great, and a hell of a feud,but I don't think it defined a generation as much as Hogan-Piper did. I thought about that, as well as Hogan-Warrior and Hogan-Andre. Ultimately I decided the Mega Powers storyline was too iconic to leave out, but I understand if you disagree on that one. The other 3 were far simpler to choose. |

Rock and Austin.
I still don't consider Cena/Edge to be the definitive feud of its respective "era". It was an amazing feud but I don't quite consider any feud to be the definitive feud of that era. There were too many great ones and not one that really spanned the entire era.

There were too many great ones and not one that really spanned the entire era. I think it depends on when you define the start and end of the era. I'd go 2003 (after WM XIX) to about 2009, and I don't think another feud in that period compares. Orton-Cena should be massive, and was quite big, but it never had the same chemistry. Edge is definitely a much smaller star than the seven others listed though. |

Shawn-Bret feud was amazing, apart from the fact that it didn't produce very good matches...

Edge is definitely a much smaller star than the seven others listed though. It just doesn't scream definitive feud like the others. Punk/Cena is much more definitive even though its probably a different era. Its still hard to pinpoint an era in the 2001-2013 time period. I'd say 2013-Present day is definitely a new era but the previous period is too blurred. There were more definitive matches then feuds so to speak. |
