Your top 5 career RIVALS in wrestling history

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

What are their classic moments? Post some of them. I honestly can't remember a single moment of theirs that's anything special, let alone legendary. Their matches were at best acceptable, and at worst as repetitive, bland and mediocre as their characters. I just can't see how with as many great rivalries there have been in wrestling over the years between talent that had great characters, could cut great promos and could work great matches, you put up two guys who are really nothing special in any of those departments and headlined the least interesting era of pro wrestling in the past 30 years.

i dont want to clutter this thread with youtube videos, when orton went to WWE, cena challenged him in OVW and they had a bunch of matches their...their first major fued had RKO punt his dad in the head, had cena get himself DQ'd out of rage in a PPV match...had rko handcuff cena to a ring post and kendo stick him repeatedly, they had a great i Quit match, and a wrestlemania main event.

Most recently, the promo where cena buried orton saying he was a huge dissapointment given mad passes was great...one of cena's better ever...and orton responded by becoming champion of champions.

So, as a CAREER ARC, they have an oustanding rivalry

It's obviously not on the level of the like's of Hogan v Macho or Rock v Austin but I always loved how long lasting the Bret Hart v Jerry Lawler fued was. shyt went from 93-97 with Lawler burying Bret any chance he got to the very bitter end. It's a lowkey, underrated feud that led to so much fukkery

Austin/Bret was a better rivalry than Austin/Rock. It felt like to me that Austin/Rock was more Austin/Vince with the Rock acting on his behalf. Besides, Austin dominated that rivalry, and unless it's hotly contested or even, I don't count it.

HHH/Rock might be my all time favorite, with Kurt/Benoit and Hogan/Savage also getting some shine.

Okada/Tanahashi, tho...

 

[mrken12]

Cena-Styles is definitely a noteworthy one.

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

All the best and most popular have been named so here's a couple more classic ones

I think Undertaker/Brock is up there. A lot of classic moments over the years. Not all of them good but the feud has seen many different stages.

Eddie/Rey Mysterio always a natural built in feud. Two of the best wrestlers ever. Eddie always put Rey over

Dudleyz/Hardyz/E&C

Angle/Brock to me had a great feud and so many high quality matches.
