Greatest Feuds: 20-16

20. Samoa Joe vs. the X Division

This feud began with Joe's unbeaten streak and his breaking the rules of X Division competition.  One of the highlights was putting Christopher Daniels in the hospital with a concussion.  It brought in AJ Styles, but no one could take down the Submission Machine.  The feud ended with the X Division winning with TNA's only ever 5 star match: Destination X where Joe took on Styles and Daniels, and Daniels came out on top, but Joe was never pinned.  New champ, X Division elevated and highlighted, and Joe made into a World Title contender with a streak intact.  Best thing TNA ever did.

19. Mick Foley vs. ECW (Tommy Dreamer)

Mick Foley sold ECW by being its opposite.  He did only headlocks and wore shirts of horrible former wrestlers.  The legend of Hardcore had gone corporate, and in saying things like "take me back Uncle Eric" and refusing to use the extreme rules the man made loyal ECW fans.  Dreamer was the guy on the other end, but really the work was more Foley versus the whole ECW attitude in order to promote the ECW attitude.  

18. Vern Gagne vs. Nick Bockwinkle

This feud was great simply because it lasted forever.  And in fact, it was still selling out places long after Vern was past his prime.  Nick was an underrated wrestler and a fine villain who could talk enough to put the people in the seats.  Vern was a beloved hero who could go in the ring.  Together they made Minnesota wrestling lore with their knock down drag out fights.

17. El Santo vs. Blue Demon

These two Mexican legends need to be on this list.  El Santo and Blue Demon along with Mil Mascaras are the top three stars in Mexican Wrestling history.  And El Santo and Blue Demon had a great series of matches that was eventually won by Blue Demon in 1952 and 53.  It started with a tag match where the two were on opposite sides.  El Santo was able to unmask Blue Demon's partner, and the duo would go on to feud in epic matches that haunted El Santo for the rest of his career.  When two legends actually meet in the ring, it is bigger than life.  McMahon has kept that from American fans (see the lack of Hogan vs. Flair or Hogan vs. Piper or even Hogan vs. Harley Race).  Mexico actually got to see it.

16. Steve Austin vs. Vince McMahan

This feud saved WWE from real trouble and launched the attitude era.  It was sort of one sided since only one of them was actually a wrestler, but it did include a cage match so it did have a pay off where both men wrestled.  Austin became a household name and McMahann a billionaire off of this.  For that alone it deserves a spot.  But it gets such a high spot because who has not wanted to beat up their boss?
