WrestleMania's 10 greatest feuds

Over their storied careers, Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage probably wrestled each other more than 100 times. But when most of think about “The Hulkster” and “The Macho Man” tying up, we probably remember one, particular bout—that contested at WrestleMania V.

The fact is that when a match makes it to WrestleMania, it achieves a kind of wrestling immortality. It means that the bout was selected from hundreds of possible matches to be included in the most important wrestling card of the year.

And so it goes without saying that when the same match is featured more than once at WrestleMania, it takes on even more mythical proportions.

That will certainly be the case this year, when Triple-H and the Undertaker do battle at WrestleMania for the third time—tying the all time record for most times a match has been featured at WrestleMania.

With that in mind, here is a look at WrestleMania’s 10 greatest feuds.

10. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit - WrestleMania 2000 (in a triple threat match that included Chris Jericho), WrestleMania X-Seven: As two of the most respected ring technicians of the modern era, it stood to reason that WWE would pair Benoit and Angle together at the biggest show of the year. Unfortunately, the first of their two bouts was overbooked, as was everything else on WrestleMania 2000. In the match, Benoit pinned Jericho to win the IC title, and was later pinned by Jericho for the European title. A year later, the two men had the match that fans expected of them—a barn-burning 14-minute affair won by Benoit that would have stolen the show, if so many other matches on it weren’t so damn good also.

 9. Mr. T vs. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper - WrestleMania (in a tag team match that included Hulk Hogan and Paul Orndorf), WrestleMania 2 in a boxing match): As the story goes, there was real life bad blood between Piper and Mr. T, based largely on Piper’s resentment over a Hollywood actor not showing proper respect for his business. The heat between Piper and T helped make the inaugural WrestleMania a big success, and launched WWE into the global wrestling juggernaut it is today. A year later, Piper started showing up at events with boxing gloves, and put out an open challenge to anyone to trade leather with him. Mr. T accepted, and we got one of the worst WrestleMania bouts of all time. Better Match: WrestleMania
