I was just thinking back to watching wrestling as a kid and trying to see what types of stuff came to mind first, and some of it was just odd.
The point of this thread is to tell what obscure feuds you remember. They could have been really short or just not memorable, but for some reason you remember them when not many others do.
One of the first things that came to mind when I was thinking back was a feud in WCW, probably in late 1993, maybe early 1994, with Lord Steven Regal and Todd Champion. It was over the TV title and stemmed from them wrestling to TV time limit draws like two weeks in a row. They pushed it as Champion had Regal's number and Regal needed to stall or have Sir William's help for the time limit to run out so he could keep his belt.
From what I remember, the feud lasted for maybe 4 or 5 weeks tops, and Regal ended up beating Champion finally on Main Event I believe.
So, what have you got?

Todd Champion was long gone by the time Regal came in...

The one that always sticks in my mind as a random and dumb feud was Bret Hart feuding with Jean Pierre Lafiette, the evil jacket stealing pirate.

Back when the NWA was on Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon, I vaguely remember a feud between jobber Tony Zane and... somebody else (for some reason I think it may have been Lasertron, but I could be wrong).
I only remember this because it was over a 'mid-heavyweight' title that the show had just introduced for the undercard guys, and I remembered Zane because... someone posted a video here of the Midnight Express unmasking the Midnight Riders, thinking that they were Dusty Rhodes and Magnum TA. Zane was the 'Dusty' Rider in that video.

Not sure what year this was but as far as I can remember it was Funk/Foley Vs The New Age Outlaws.
I may have been watching beforehand but that's the first one that comes to mind.

(If not, don't pay any attention to me.)

Val Venis vs Goldust. This was at a time when I confused Val Venis with Triple H and the first Goldust match I saw which stuck in my mind.

Michaels/Rick Martel - Just fun
Also most of Disco Inferno's mid card feuds (Malenko, Booker & Saturn) in WCW, I have to be honset I was a fan of Disco (I was 7!)

Todd Champion was long gone by the time Regal came in... 10/13/93; Gainesville, GA; Georgia Mountains Center 11/21/93: WCW US Champion Dustin Rhodes defeated Sonny Rogers Erik Watts defeated Tom Burton WCW TV Champion Lord Steven Regal fought Todd Champion to a drawRicky Steamboat defeated Tony Zane 10/13/93; Gainesville, GA; Georgia Mountains Center 11/28/93: Thunder & Lightning defeated Big Bad John & the Gambler Tex Slazenger & Shanghai Pierce defeated Alex Davis & Tommy Angel Todd Champion defeated WCW TV Champion Lord Steven Regal via disqualificationTerry Taylor defeated Chic Donovan WCW Tag Team Champions the Nasty Boys defeated Erik Watts & Mark Starr 12/6/93; Dalton, GA 12/12/93: Brian Pillman vs. Bryant Anderson Harlem Heat vs. Rod Martin & Johnny Stevens WCW TV Champion Lord Steven Regal vs. Todd Champion Jeeze, that IS obscure. He came back for 4 more matches in 1993 and 2 more in 1994 if History of WWE is correct. Coulda sworn he was USWA by and by by this point.
