every day so be sure to subscribe to our
channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos but
this list we’re looking at the rivalries
that transcend the in-ring feuds and
take a peek at when they spill out into
real life no matter what Federation
these feuds began in they eventually
found their way to the WWE and became
the source of much chatter backstage and
online number 10 JBL versus the blue
meanie this feud started after the blue
meanie left doe derby for the first time
in 2000 and made some comments about JBL
online but it escalated at the ECW
reunion pay-per-view one night stunned
in 2005
meanie called JBL a bully and an asshole
in a web interview and Bradshaw never
forgot about it so when the two met
again in a dojo Beavis is
ECW brawl at one-night stand JBL beat
the ever-loving hell out of the blue
meanie for his comments leaving him
bruised and bloodied bubs between the
two would be traded back and forth over
the years but they eventually made up
and are currently twitter buddies number
9 CM Punk versus Ryback Ryback was red
hot in the dough to be back in 2012 the
big guy was being fed top talent and
crushing them on his way to a series of
top-tier matches with CM Punk but after
working together a few times
Ryback claimed that punk went to dirty
bean management claiming that he was
dangerous in the ring and the punk no
longer wanted to work with him of course
being champ Punk got his wish
and the blow to ryback’s Korea was
immense he’d eventually leave the
company in 2016 punk claims that working
with Ryback shaved years of his career
and continues to be very critical of the
big guys in ring work number 8 Mick
Foley vs. Ric Flair in his first book
title
have a nice day Mick Foley made some
legit criticisms of Ric Flair during his
WCW days mainly that he seemed to
wrestle the exact same match over and
over again
of course flats a great offense to these
comments and came back at Foley calling
him nothing more than a glorified
stuntman and claiming the only reason he
made it to the top of the WWE was
because he was willing to accept insane
levels of punishment the shots continued
back-and-forth for some time and the two
Hall of Famers even used their heat with
each other to have a few spectacular
matches before making up and becoming
friends
number 7 Chris Jericho versus Goldberg
in WCW in the mid-90s Goldberg was the
guy while Chris Jericho was struggling
to be recognized as a top talent because
of this Goldberg refused multiple times
to work with Jericho which upset y2j
greatly eventually Jericho would call
out Goldberg on WCW TV angering
management who then booked Jericho into
a squash match against Goldberg to which
y2j refused the heat between the two
spilled out over – ww2 thousand to
Jericho and Goldberg got into an
incident backstage where the two got
into a screaming match
and Jericho put the much bigger Goldberg
into a headlock
number six Eric Bischoff versus Bret
Hart the excellence of executions run in
WCW was anything but excellent and Eric
Bischoff was very vocal over this very
fact while Bret claims that Eric knew
nothing about the wrestling business and
booked his WCW run poorly Bischoff
claims that Bret was an absolute
nightmare to work with during this time
due to his negative attitude and lack of
passion and that’s why the hit man’s WCW
run was a failure bright fired back
calling Bischoff a loser maggots and the
whole thing devolved even further from
there this is one of those real-life
feuds where we have very little hope of
the two ever kissing and making up
number five edge versus Matt Hardy this
real-life you’ve got a wee bit person
as it involved Matt Hardy’s girlfriend
later cheating on him with the rated-r
superstar edge interestingly enough
however the two didn’t feud back and
forth in the dinner sheets but instead
saw their feud play out on WB TV and
financially speaking it made a lot of
sense as no doubt the two men hated each
other at this time thus it’s really hard
to tell where the actual tensions ends
and storyline heat begins but it’s fair
to say that both men used real emotions
to underpin their feud on live TV but
somehow they managed to break the bread
later down the line number four Hulk
Hogan vs Randy Savage talk about déjà vu
is another love affair between three top
WB stars that played out in front and
behind the cameras bull Cogan and Randy
Savage were undeniably the two biggest
stars in WV during the early 90s and
their tag duo aptly named the mega
powers was fronted by Macho man’s wife
Elizabeth a TV angle that saw Hogan and
Elizabeth’s relationship come into
question eventually split the super
human tag team and shockingly came to
pass in real life as well macho was none
seemed pleased and resented Hogan almost
until his death in 2011 but luckily the
two would finally bury the hatchet
months before his passing number 3 CM
Punk this is the authority Punk makes
his second appearance on the list in a
much more publicized feud with two of
WB’s most powerful people in Triple H
and Vince McMahon punk has long claimed
that Triple H kept younger talent down
in an effort to put himself over and
that he’s only in the position he’s in
because he’s married to the boss’s
daughter
the game denies these claims of course
and it was rightfully upset by them
calling Punk a diva for his erratic
behavior backstage and is constant
complaining there’s no love lost between
mr. McMahon and Punk either as their
long-standing beef led two Punk’s
infamous pipe-bomb promo that led up the
Internet in 2011 number 2 Vince McMahon
vs. Bret Hart’s
once WB’s frontman Bret Hart was told by
Vince McMahon that his current 20-year
contract was unaffordable and that he
should seek to wrestle elsewhere the
incidents that followed including the
Montreal Screwjob are the stuff of
legend and part of the brilliant
documentary hitman hearts wrestling with
shadows Bret felt betrayed while Vince
felt that Bret screwed Bret further the
hit man’s younger brother Owen died in a
stunt gone wrong on a Delta II
pay-per-view in 1999 an incident that
Bret deeply disapproved off and placed
at the feet of mr. McMahon Bret has
since made amends with WV but one has to
wonder just how far he trusts its owner
considering their long stormy past
number 1 Shawn Michaels versus Bret
Hart’s it’s no shock that Shawn Michaels
versus Bret ha is the number one
real-life feud considering their bitter
hatred for one another led to one of the
finest errors in wrestling the Attitude
Era feuding in and out of the ring the
tension came to a boil at 1997 Survivor
Series aka the Montreal Screwjob where
Michaels along with Vince McMahon you
Bret out of the WV title though the pair
would battle publicly for many years
afterward through shoot interviews
trading barbs with each other in a game
of one-upmanship they claimed to have
put the past behind them and moved on is
hoping they can both forgive and forget
