So, I started watching wrestling in the summer of 2003. I stopped somewhere around 2008, but started watching again summer before last. I never really got into stuff from the Golden Age (or really anything before 1996 or so), or anything from WCW. Now that I'm older I have been going through a lot of older stuff on the Network and I have found that I really appreciate a lot of it more than I did when I was a kid. I've gone through and watched the main storylines like the forming of the NWO, Hogan v. Andre, the rise of Austin 3:16, etc, but I'm sure there are lesser known feuds that I missed out on.
So, what feuds would you guys recommend watching? I've really come to appreciate the work of big men like Bam Bam Bigelow, Vader, Yokozuna, etc. so those are a plus, but I am open to anything. I'll look into anything that is recommended. If you could provide dates and shows where the feuds began and ended that would be appreciated.

Jake Roberts vs Randy Savage feud that started at Summerslam 91 until SNME in February 92. Classic feud
Randy Savage vs Ultimate Warrior that started during the fall of 90 until WM 7 (Warriors best match IMO)
Ric Flair Vs Randy Savage in both their feuds in 92 WWF and WCW 95/96. Great storytelling here.
Bret Vs Owen feud that started at Survivor Series 93. Their WM 10 and Summerslam 94 matches are classics
Steve Austin vs Bret Hart September 96 until July 97.
To name a few. all these feuds I HIGHLY recommend.

The Mega Powers exploding between Hogan and Savage that started at Summerslam 88 when Hogan hoisted up Elizabeth and Savage gave him this wtf look. It had slow build until the February 89 SNME when Savage turned heel on Hogan by walking out on him. Then the big showdown at WM 5.

I might be in the minority on some of these but here are a few of my favorite arcs that don't get mentioned enough.
— Angle/Benoit feud in 2001. Ultimate Submission Match, 2 out of 3 Falls Match, Ladder Match, just an all around great feud.
— London/Kendrick year long run as tag champs. Maybe not necessarily an arc, but I feel like their run was awesome and flew completely under the radar.
— Edge/Mysterio 2008 feud over the World Title.
— Undertaker/Kennedy in late 2006.

The Randy Savage vs. Honky Tonk Man feud gets over looked and it was quite entertaining.
You have their SNME match, the match with Savage vs. Bret off of SNME, the Survivor Series encounter and then the match on The Main Event.
It would help if WWE Network had all the Superstars, Wrestling Challenge, Prime Time Wrestling, and such on there too to watch. You could see how these older feuds came to be.

Since you started in 2003, I would like for you to watch the Invasion angle. In fact, watch from WrestleMania X7 to WrestleMania X8. The fans that saw this as it was happening didn't like it, due to many different things. You won't have that same bias. I believe this was the greatest potential the WWE ever had. The WCW / ECW Alliance is the biggest threat to the WWE, and nothing will ever come close. Witness the rise of Chris Jericho. Feel all of the twists and turns. Then when you’re done, do what everyone else who saw it does…rebook the entire thing.

No you can't. I don't think the Hart Foundation and British Bulldogs ever had a bad match together. Also loved
Piper vs Snuka and the Tonga Kid.
Santana vs Valentine Intercontinental Championship feud.
Santana vs Muraco feud.

Another underrated feud IMO is Bret Hart vs Jerry Lawler that started at KOTR 93 and went off and on for the next 2 years.
Lawler was on fire as a heel during that period. I enjoyed the hell out of that feud.

One feud that has gotten lost overtime is Steve Austin and Kurt Angle from 2001. The series of matches they has were good. Not to mention, the chemistry the two had.

That feud really did start right after the KOTR in June when they were both injured and did back stage stuff with Vince, all the way up to December when Steve pinned Kurt to go into the finals for the unification match. Steve vs. Kurt happened at four out of five PPVs in a row in 2001. Plus their big title match on Raw. Good stuff between those two. |

Not to mention, the chemistry the two had. 2 great performers putting on great shows every time. Angle was awesome the way he could do comedy and then go out and kick ass and you would believe in him. Him and Austin were absolute gold |
