I just finished watching the Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes Rivalries episode on WWE Network. LOVE the documentary style of this show and Monday Night War. I always thought those type or releases were best WWE DVDs. So it's cool that they made some series on the Network with this style. They know how to make a good documentary.
I didn't realize how intense things got then. According to this special, these two guys are a big part of the reason we started seeing more emotionally-driven feuds culminating with high-impact, often violent clashes.
Really cool stuff.
So what were some of your favorite rivalries in wrestling?

Are you talking full bore rivalries or just storyline feuds.
I was a big fan of the Ultimate Warrior back in the day. When him and The Undertaker feuded I was about 8-10 years old. The Warrior got locked in a damn coffin. That shit was real to me! Then, Jake The Snake "trained" the Warrior in the ways of darkness only to turn on him. Never Trust a Snake. I still think this is my favorite feud to this day.
Hogan and Sgt. Slaughter was awesome. It was right in the middle of the Gulf War. Slaughter was an amazing bad guy.
Of course all the nWo vs WCW stuff. That was an awesome time to be a fan. Then the nWo into 2 groups and it sucked.
As far as rivalries that lasted? Hell, I have no idea.

Agreed and all awesome picks!
I'm particularly fond of Jake the Snake, Ultimate Warrior, and the nWo 3 of my all-time favorite things in wrestling. Despite all the problems Snake had, he sure knew how to work a crowd.
And I still have and wear an nWo shirt to this day.

How freaking stupid! Half of America, including my area, doesn't get this on their cable package! They'd reach more people with syndication!
burningdoom:
WHAT?! DID YOU SEE THAT MAIN-EVENT?!!
That's what a damn main-event should be! That was one helluva match, followed by one helluva reveal! And it's about time Ziggler got his spot to shine.
Go watch at least the main-event of Survivor Series if you haven't seen it yet!
And the Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt match was pretty good, too.
