Luna vs Sherri These two hell cats started their feud at WM IX during HBK vs Tatanka for the IC Title.During the match Sherri would stop Luna from interfering but Luna would get the upper hand post match as she attacked her new foe in a vicious attack. She also attacked here in the first aids station! I remember them showing this on the WM IX CHV.Great stuff here with Sherri selling like a pro with Luna coming off like a complete lunatic. The feud heated up afterwards with the two getting into a big brawl on Raw. It was great seeing Rob Bartlett roughed up a bit here Following this Bam Bam Bigelow would get involved into the feud as he revealed Luna was his new ''main squeeze''. Tatanka would also get involved to aid Sherri in her battle plus he had a vendetta against Bigelow for cutting his hair.They were still teasing a match between Luna/Sherri with the match being advertised for Superstars that July but it was a bait and switch since it never took place due to Bigelow's and Tatanka's involvement. This was going to lead to a mix tag at SSlam that year but that was nixed after Sherri was released from the company. Overall....Even though it didnt have an ending I liked this feud.We all know how wild Sherri's personality was through the years and Luna matched her to perfection in that department.

It was definitely strange seeing Sherri play the face role. Didn't seem natural and particularly odd to see Luna outcrazy her.

A great write up as always.
I never cared for this at all, Sherri to me came across as so weak during this feud and with how much I hated her when she was with Savage and Dibiase there was no way in hell I could get behind her as a babyface. I think the main reason for this was that I always thought she was tough, but as I said I felt she looked really weak during this whole thing pretty much.

I think the main reason for this was that I always thought she was tough, but as I said I felt she looked really weak during this whole thing pretty much. I wonder if that's why Sherri left. This feud was probably the only time she was really weak and maybe she even felt like Luna would be taking her place. In WWF and WCW Sherri always looked pretty strong. It almost always took a male wrestler to take her down. I stopped watching wrestling around late 1992 to mid 1993 so I kind of missed this feud but had seen Wrestlemania when the VHS came out and I had seen a Superstars taping with Sherri, maybe her last TV appearance. I would have liked to seen the match play out, especially if Tatanka was involved since he couldn't take a loss on TV or PPV and there was a mixed tag match scheduled for Summerslam. I met Luna and Sherri in person and have seen a lot of posts on facebook about people who knew Sherri and it really speaks to their talent how good they were at their jobs because both women were very sweet from what I saw and read. |

I have a suggestion for you, Shawn Michaels vs British Bulldog kind of crazy to think that they fought on PPV in 1992, 1995, 1996 and 1997!
I know their main program was May to July in 1996, but these two always worked well together.

I request Honky Tonk Man vs Randy Savage. I cannot recall how this one ended, just that Savage elevated to winning the WM IV Tourney and Honky still had the IC belt.

Shawn Michaels vs British Bulldog
 ![]() These two would start their history together in late 92 on an episode of SNME in a match for the IC Title.This is where HBK would win gold for the first time in the WWF. Solid performance here between these two I thought and a good way to really get HBK going on his path to the top. Following this Davey Boy would be released from the WWF with that putting an end to any hope of a rematch. They would meet back up at the 95 Rumble with them both drawing 1 and 2 respectively with them lasting until the end in which HBK would prevail after barely surviving elimination.These two performance was one of very few highlights for this Rumble that's sure. Their first official feud would come in the Spring of 96 when HBK was accused of making advances toward Diana Smith(Davey's then wife) This would lead to a showdown for the World Title at IYH Beware of Dog but the end result was a no contest.This would've been the perfect time to give Bulldog his brief title run IMO. This would then lead to the rematch at the KOTR in which HBK would put an end to the feud as following this he would transition to Vader. In 97 they would again collide with Michaels once again getting the better of Bulldog by taking the tag belts with partner Steve Austin on Raw.Davey could not catch a break! The final leg of this feud would come at One Night Only that September in which HBK beat em for the European Title.Michaels played the a$$hole heel to a tee. Overall....These two had great chemistry together so I liked their stuff since the beginning.Again I say I wish Bulldog got that one little run as champ in 96.

Their match at one night only is my favourite as I was there. However, their match at king of the ring is awesome as well.
I hated the ending to the 95 Royal Rumble Bulldog looked like a freaking moron and he was technically screwed as they played his music! I never understood why this was never made a bigger issue of.

This was a great feud that had great matches on the house show circuit. Great suggestion. It was weird seeing Sherri play a face in her feud with Luna. The match at Summerslam 93 would have been interesting. |

Honky Tonk Man vs Randy Savage After Honky beat Ricky Steamboat in June 87 to become IC Champ, he would go on and gloat by proclaiming himself the ''greatest IC Champion of all time''. This in turn would tick off former champ Randy Savage who didn't take kindly to Honky's new claim.Always good TV when you got an intense Mach cutting a promo This would lead to Savage turning face with the match being set for SNME that October for the belt. So much going on here with this one. Savage would win by DQ but took the brunt of a beating post match by Honky and the Harts beating em down. Then you saw something that never happened on WWF TV before with Honky throwing Elizabeth down. It was normal during the AE but here it was a complete shocker to see a woman thrown down like that.Liz was a pro at selling here.After a blast from the guitar on Mach, Liz would go back and get help in the form of Hulk Hogan! And with that the Mega Powers are formed. Classic moment here in Hershey.
The feud would boil over into the first SSeries when team Mach would defeat team Honky after Honky walked out after being down three to one. Jesse putting over him over for being smart was great.They would continue on over the next few months by facing off on house shows for the belt with Mach coming close to recapturing it but just coming short.The culmination of this feud would come that February on The Main Event in which Savage would would win the match but once again come up short in getting the belt.He would destroy Honky's precious guitar post match though...
Overall...Entertaining feud here.Savage was going pops for a good portion of 1987 so it was the right move to turn em babyface during this one.And at the end of the day it was for the better Honky refused to drop the IC belt to em as in the end we got this...

Great feud, definitely turned Savage into a mega baby face. I also think it was a good thing that Honky didn't drop the belt back to Savage, we got Savage as World Champion for a year and we got the creation of one of the greatest titles ever because of it, the million dollar championship. Also, I think Honky holding on to the title for as long as he did made Warrior defeating him like he did at Summer Slam 88 look even more impressive. I know that a lot of people rag on Honky Tonk Man because he wasn't the best in-ring performer but he did a great job as the IC Champion. He did what champions are supposed to do, draw people into the building. It didn't matter who Honky was facing, fans went to the arena to see him get his but kicked - it worked. Plus, having a baby face champion in Hogan and Savage, it was always good to have a heel IC champion so baby faces didn't control both singles titles.

I'm so glad they turned Honky heel not long after his WWF debut as him as a face did not mix. Him being shocked by the fans not being behind him was gold. |

I'm probably in the minority here but I really enjoyed his first theme that he used from late 86 until the Fall of 87...
Reminds me of WM III in which he was ripping on Alice Cooper saying something along the lines ''The fans dont wanna hear that nightmare music they wanna here Honkytonk Mama'' lol

Especially as one of those heels that believe people like him but they really don't. Reminds me of when Kurt Angle was going around telling everyone that he is happy to be their hero and the crowd would just booo the hell out of him and he would be so surprised that people didn't like him. Great stuff. |
