They are without doubt the most important, or second most important aspect in professional wrestling, The good ol' feud or rivalry. Without it, There wouldn't be any face's or heels, Goodies and baddies, which is another key aspect that makes Pro wrestling tick. While there have been hundreds and thousands of feuds, Which one of the past decade have stood out the most?? Well I'm going to pick out some that stand out so much that they slap me in the face when I think back.
- JBL Versus John Cena
Many, if not every fan in attendance hated JBl, and for good reason. He was and is one of the most despised heels of the past generation, and when he and John Cena embraced a rivalry nearly a decade ago, They were the definition of exact opposites, With Bradshaw, The classic gentlemen's look, From the White Cowboy hat, to the Limosuine's and the Tailored suits, Then John Cena, Who wore throwback jerseys and the Denim jeans and chains. While many overlook this feud, It was at the time one of the most bloody and violent feuds of WWE's history, With both Cena and Bradshaw losing more blood in one of their matches than in an entire year of PG WWE.
- Bobby Roode Versus James Storm
Its true, The closest friends make the worst enemies, and the Beer Money boys didn't disappoint. When a beer bottle and the World Heavyweight Championship came between this Championship riddled tag team, It imploded and became the most bitter rivalry in TNA history, Matching that of Jeff Jarrett and Kurt Angle. The heel Roode, made short work of ending Storm's world title reign with the beer bottle to the head behind the referee's back, and in the process Becoming the longest reigning world champ ever, Left Storm bitter and full of anger, that would after a few years lead to Storm turning on the fans and starting The Revolution.
- Jay Lethal Versus Adam Cole
The ROH World Champion Jay Lethal would meet face to face with The New Leader of the Bullet Club in ROH, Adam Cole. Cole and Lethal would embark on a path of twisted hatred and personal vengeance that went further than the ROH World Title. Cole, with the assistance of the Bullet Club, Would shave the head of Lethal bald infront of the fans after being beaten down. This feud would make them arch Nemesis' for life.
- Edge Versus The Undertaker
The Rated R Superstar and The Deadman had a rivalry that one like me couldn't forget in a million years, With the heat from the bitterness scarring my mind everytime I think about it, This was one of the blue brands most notable and memorable of its existence. Edge, who was sleeping with the management, aka Vickie Guerrero, fair to say, put The Undertaker put through Hell in order to keep his World title away from the Demon from Death Valley's clutches. When Undertaker injured Vickie Guerrero, Edge would seek retribution for the damage caused to his wife. Edge, along with Chavo Guerrero, Bam Neely, Big Show, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, Would all go to war with the Deadman.
- Matt Hardy Versus Jeff Hardy [TNA]
The iconic Brothers went to war in WWE also, But in my opinion, Wasn't as intense or as invigorating as their war in TNA, which saw Matt become one of the most fresh, beloved and hottest character's that Pro Wrestling has seen since The Undertaker in the 90's. While now the Hardy's, or should I say Broken Hardy's are on the same page and the hatchet had been buried, At the time, It looked like they would never make up again, in pro wrestling anyway. When Broken Matt Hardy sentenced Jeff to Deletion and rendered him Obsolete, and became the owner of The Jeff Hardy Brand and name, We had no idea where the insane Matt would go with this feud, Which made it more intriguing as time went on. To this day, The Broken brilliance of Matt Hardy is stunning the Wrestling world.
