It was probably before my time, but can somebody explain what the Valiant/Jones feud was about and why it was so unnecessarily long?

As it was told to me... Jones'men just randomly attacked him and shaved his beard.

Jimmy did an interview with Dave Chappel from Mid-Atlantic Gateway. He said he was feuding with the Assassins. Paul Jones stuck his nose in one night and they beat him up, tied him in the ropes and shaved his beard.
Why it took so long? "Well, he had an army!"
Boogie Jam was when it escalated, unmasking Assassin #2. Paul would reload with new guys: buy off Manny Fernandez, bringing in Rick Rude, getting Pez Whatley to turn, etc. Baron von Raschke, Superstar Billy Graham come in. Teijho Khan, the Barbarian. Jimmy lost his friends and his hair. But he wouldn't bow down to Paul Jones.

Yeah, I remember a lot of it. To me, an 11 year old, it was pretty dull. But it is interesting in hindsight. Jimmy wasn't in any title programs, but he was still over AF. Fans loved him and waited for that day Jimmy would finally get vindication against Paul.

In a way, the Raven-Tommy Dreamer feud was similar. A lot of moving parts to draw it out longer.

But as Andre poignantly said once, "3 years...it’s a long time."

During the interview Dave Chappel also coined, “I’m Rick James, bitch.”

Hogan/Andre even though it was significant

[karl100589]

Kevin Sullivan had a near two year feud with Hulk Hogan because he wasn’t his brother’s favourite wrestler anymore.

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

It felt like Kofi Kingston and Dolph Ziggler wrestled like a million times from 2009 through 2013. What made it worse is there never was really a storyline to it other then one has a midcard belt and the other is trying to take it.

[hulksmash87]

Curt hennig and ric flair and the horsemen it went from fall brawl 97 until around superbrawl 99

[Nr1Humanoid]

Long running feuds are fine as long as they are given new reasons for hating each other rather than feuding over the same old beef.

Currently like half of WWE's storylines. Reflected heavily in WWE's shit live event ticket sales currently. They've drug ass on way too much for way too long.

Just like The New Days/Usos. They've been trading the tag team titles on and off for what? Five years now? Isn't it still going on?

[James Fabiano]

How about Hulk Hogan vs. the Heenan family?

Went across two companies, carried over through early 80s till at least 1991-92 (when Heenan was on Team Flair).

Technically WCW too as Bobby was still bashing Hulk on commentary.

[wendytorrancev1]

D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry vs. Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett with Debra.

That went on for far too long.

[Aceorton]

Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs. Dino Bravo was crazy long. They started soon after SummerSlam in 1988 and were still doing house shows against each other on the regular up until around WrestleMania 5. Then they were pitted against each other again at WrestleMania 6.

Duggan and Bravo were also on opposing teams for 3 straight Survivor Series.

I'd say this applies to Kofi vs Miz too, to a lesser extent.

After going through Wrestling Bios reliving the war series, I was surprised to learn the gang wars(DOA, Los Boriquas, Nation of Domination) was still going on all the way into December(maybe even beyond). I thought it fizzled out sometime in the fall. The feud started in the summer of 97, and I'm up to the December 29th edition of RAW and the Boriquas and DOA are still going at it because? What also didn't make sense was Faarooq fired Crush and Savio from The Nation, both having to endure the same humiliation, wouldn't it have made sense to join forces against their former boss and his newly reformed faction, why do they all of a sudden hate each other, let alone having matches every week for the remainder of the year?

Savio Vega and Crush also had issues with each other.

That's what I said. Was there any storyline thrown in over why?

["Playboy" Don Douglas]

It felt like Cena and Edge went on forever, but that’s probably because I didn’t give a shit.

[Natural Born Farmer]

WWE thought Cena v. Orton was interesting waaaaayyyyyyy longer than it was.

[XIII]

Von Erich’s and Akbar’s Army/Devastation Inc has got to be up there somewhere.

Oh sorry. I think the reason why they were fighting were because they were constantly accidentally costing each other matches due to miscommunications.
