Michael Cole vs. Jerry Lawler
I still don't understand what the purpose of this feud was. To get Michael Cole over? To... give a rub to someone? To amuse Vince?

DAN LAMBERT VERSUS HAPPINESS This. Came in here to mention Inner Circle/Lambert and co. which derailed Guevara and amounted to absolutely nothing in the end. Even Don Callis and his brown note theme are preferable to Lambert's inane bullshit.

The whole Blood Runs Cold, Glacier (& Ernest Miller) vs Mortis & Wrath thing.
It started because Mortis stole Glacier's helmet.
Then they forgot all about the helmet but they kept feuding.
And they kept feuding and kept feuding.
And then Glacier finally suffered his first lost and everyone just kind of went their separate ways. Mortis Wrath and Miller all did pretty well for themselves in the long run but Glacier got demoted to jobber-to-the-stars.

How about Scott Steiner and Goldberg feud that began with Goldberg not following the script, stupidly tearing up his release where he would still get paid in full of his contract (and denying him a chance to go to WWE where he would get paid TWO salaries) and then they forgot the script part and it was decided that the feud was about who was tougher.

Michael Cole vs. Jerry Lawler I still don't understand what the purpose of this feud was. To get Michael Cole over? To... give a rub to someone? To amuse Vince?Vince would NEVER stoop to the level of booking something for his own amusement. How dare you make such an assertion... Anyways, can someone please make a thread about this 5 star classic?

Now I'm wondering...did Patterson/Brisco ever have a serious match?

I actually really dig the Blood Runs Cold stuff, despite it being super repetitive. I think it didn't help anyone when they started having Mortis get destroyed multiple times by other WCW guys...which made it difficult to take him seriously after that. BRC would have benefitted with a few more guys, and just making it almost it's own thing like the Cruiserweight division.

I thought the purpose was going to be, "we want to kill about 4 minutes on Wrestlemania, people hate Cole anyway, might as well have King kick his ass." Then they tried to have an actual match with that much time. It should have been a total squash or at the most extreme, Cole takes the advantage through heel tactics right off the bat (low blow, powder, etc.) but after a minute or two, King takes over, drops the strap, piledriver, 1-2-3. That whole debacle was one of the final straws that drove me away from current wrestling for at least a decade.

Scott Steiner and Test had an entire storyline arc that lasted like 8 months and the best thing about it was probably Steiner tripping off the ring apron at Bad Blood. They got to swap Stacy Keibler like she was property though so that was something

The same age bracket today is Jericho, Jeff Jarrett, Billy Gunn, Sting, PCO, Christian, Adam Copeland. Wow.

Jeez, I thought they were in their mid 60s Once again shows how much better people are aging now I mean, Pat pretty much looked like that when he was Intercontinental champ.

Jeez, I thought they were in their mid 60s Once again shows how much better people are aging now I would have thought the same, but something in my head made me think they were younger than we thought. Makes sense, from the mid 70s when they were at their peak till then was about the same from then till now, so our current old guys are in the same windows age wise.

It wasn’t that long, but disco inferno vs Konnan felt like it lasted ages. Mainly because they insisted on airing those stupid music videos unendingly.
