Greatest Feuds: 15-11


15. Lita vs. Trish Stratus
The best woman's feud of all time.  These girls were good enough to headline and have a main event on Raw.  They did moves and told stories.  They were attractive and fought over the belt.  It was entertaining and believable and you forgot you were watching women wrestle.  Bonus points for that.

14. Rock vs. Mankind
This feud saw some really amazing matches and a trading back and forth of the title that helped cement Rock as a legit star and Mankind finally ending up with the title he so deserved.  What other feud can you see a forklift be used to pin someone, a title match where neither man can continue, and chair shots that make you sick to your stomach.  Only here.  

13. Edge and Christian vs. the Hardy Boyz
These two teams briefly energized tag team wrestling again.  They had amazing ladder matches that still set the standard for the industry.  They had cage matches where they did crazy things to one another.  They even were able to make a match that included the Dudley Boyz look good.  The feud was always these two teams no matter who else was involved.  This match would steal any show it was on.  No one wants to follow this.

12. Flair vs. Sting
This feud never had that one dynamite go round, but always lived up to the billing.  It was used at any time by WCW because it would always deliver.   Whether it was the time Flair defeated Sting with the help of Scary Sherry to unify the World HeavyWeight Title with the World International Title, or the time Flair tricked Sting into helping him vs. Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman and Flair turned on Sting, it was always worth checking out.  Fitting that this feud was the last match on Nitro ever.  It deserved the honor.  

11. Steve Austin vs. the Rock
These two giants had some good times in the ring and they made each other great.  This is better than the Austin v. Vince feud because this was more than just crushing cars and silly promos.  This was two men who could savage each other on the mic and in the ring.  Who can forget Rock throwing Austin into a river or Austin kicking out of the Rock Bottom or the tossing a belt into a river?  They headlined multiple Wrestlemania's and that should tell you something.  I think a case can be made that these two and their feud helped put WCW out of business.
