Of all the feuds you've watched play out which stands out the most. I'll start by saying Jerry Lawler vs. Tommy Rich and Austin Idol. Granted, I wasn't watching Memphis wrestling at the time but thats to Highspots I was able to watch the bulk of the feud carry out. It had a great build with Rich and Idol jealous that Lawler was getting a world title match. The two joined forces and crotched Lawler on the ring post and put him out of action (nowadays that wouldn't even be sold for a week). This was followed by Lawler recruiting help from the likes of Bam Bam Bigelow, Bill Dundee, and Nick Bockwinkle. The fued just kept escalating and blew off with Austin Idol beating Lawler in a Hair Match. A match that if Idol lost he'd have to refund everyone in the building's tickets. I think that match may have been followed by a scaffold match (a lot more important than it would be today). My description really doesn't do it justice. The program succeeded on every level. It drew great houses, generated A LOT of heat, and produced classic promos and classic brawls.
Anyway, what would ya'll say is your favorite feud?

Bret Hart vs. Jerry Lawler, although it dragged on a bit too long.

Bret Hart vs. Jerry Lawler, although it dragged on a bit too long. Agreed. Anything after the Kiss my Foot match was overkill.

I don't really have any one favorite, but I've got to give the nod to, of course, Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven. It was so heated, so epic, and incorporated so many human emotions, that it's simply unforgettable.

I thought Austin-McMahon was lame and unbelievable (I mean that in a bad way, as in, 'only a total mark could buy this story about Austin attacking his boss in non-match scenarios without security arresting him).
My favourite feuds:
Bret Hart vs Owen Hart
Eddie Kingston vs Chris Hero
Raven vs Tommy Dreamer
Sid Justice vs Hulk Hogan

1. Raven/Dreamer. If you count all the people involved/introduced in this feud, it would probably end up being 30-40% of what made ECW great in its hey-day. If nothing else, it was the cause of the legendary "Anti-Hardcore" promos from Mick Foley. SO much came out of this feud.
2. Austin/Bret. This gets slightly overlooked, I feel. This was probably my favorite feud in terms of everything being done perfectly. Unbelievable promos that just led into tremendous matches.
3. Piper/Hogan. The best "good guy vs bad guy" feud in wrestling history. That simple.

JJ vs Raven during the beginning of TNA when they only had the Wednesday PPV's.... Oh thank goodness for scramblers and free PPV back in those days or I would have missed it!
A great honorable mention goes to Heenan and Hogan...

austin/bret because you really felt like bret was offended by the austin character and the fans turning their backs on bret's values. it made you believe, and that's what it's all about. and at that time, the austin character was still so fresh and unlike anything seen on wwf at the time that it added another layer of excitement.
followed up by freebirds/von erichs, prob in large part because I was so young at the time and had an easy time believing the von erichs were heroes and the freebirds deserved an ass-kicking. slamming the cgae door shut - classic.

In no particular order
1. Hulk Hogan vs Randy Savage
2. Ric Flair vs Dusty Rhodes
3. Bret Hart vs Mr. Perfect (I don't know if you'd call it a feud but they're matches were always top notch)
4. The Assassin vs The Grappler

Of all time? Undertaker vs Mankind...The run they had together in '96 was pure wrestling gold.
Mankind actually got Paul Bearer to turn on the Undertaker?! SummerSlam 96 blew my mind when Bearer smashed 'Taker in the head with the urn. I couldn't believe it.
