Feuds that were awesome that no one seems to remember/badmouth.
Two that stick out in my head are both from WCW, but are still worth mentioning. One being Bret Hart vs. Curt Hennig. Nothing fancy. Nothing deep. Just some awesome technical bouts from two of the greatest legends of all-time.
Second being Raven vs. Chris Benoit vs. DDP. Possibly my favorite feud ever. We have DDP vs. Benoit already long in progress, but here comes Raven, just signed with WCW, to intervene and take the US title. Gave us many awesome matches between the three, and probably the best match an Uncensored PPV ever saw, a hardcore 3-way that rocked all kinds of ass.
You?

Macho Man vs DDP was really good. Benoit vs Sullivan is usually remembered, but him having to go through the Dungeon of Doom before the retirement match produced some really stiff matches with the Faces of Fear.

Macho Man vs DDP was really good. Yeah, I agree 100%. And Savage even put DDP over - several times! I think this series of matches really made DDP a star and "groomed him" as it were for the WCW World title. Another one that I think is overlooked is Undertaker-Yokozuna. Yoko could work for a huge guy, and 'Taker has always been capable of good matches, but I never hear the matches get the respect I think they deserve. (possibly because of the mid-'90s "cartooney" timeframe?) |

Macho Man vs DDP was really good. Oh, you get a big QFT for that. I remember watching Nitro w/my dad, and god bless him, he made a comment to me about the luchadores. "You know, Shawn, one of these days, a WCW guy is gonna pay a Mexican to use his outfit and surprise the hell out of one of these nWo jackasses. No more than 5 minutes later, it's La Parka v. Savage. La Parka hit the Diamond Cutter and unmasked. We marked huge. |

Not so much an angle as it was a heel stable push, but it resulted in feuds against Perry Saturn/Raven and Harlem Heat that I still remember much to my surprise. One time the Triad was in the ring insulting Harlem Heat, and they made fat jokes about their mother. |

I dunno if it's overlooked or not, but MVP vs. Kane seems to get overshadowed by Taker/Kennedy, when I happened to enjoy it more
