Underrated Storylines That People Have Forgotten

What's good y'all? It's your boy Ross back at again with another video. So, we're check out most underrated storylines in wrestling history. Not every story line can be a cinematic uh climax like the the bloodline story and with Cody finishing his story at Wrestlemania 40. Even though that wasn't the end of the Bloodline story, but that's neither here nor there. Not every story can have that climactic feeling like they did at Wrestlemania 17 between Stone Cold and The Rock. It doesn't always happen that way. Sometimes there are stories that may not be as grandioso as some of those or like the the uh the Yes Movement at Wrestlemania 30 with Daniel Bryant ended off in a fantastic way. Sometimes those stories other stories don't get to that level, but it doesn't mean that they're not good in their own right. So, we're going to check out some of those stories that uh, you know, probably went underrated, deserves a lot more love and attention. But, I appreciate all love support. >> Let's get right into it, man. >> In wrestling, such as Austin versus McMahon, the S movement, the Mega Powers, and the Bloodline Saga. But not all great angles are as talked about as these. >> No, some have gone a lot more forgotten today. >> But just what are the most underrated angles of all time? Well, that's exactly what we are going to be looking at right now. Starting with our first entry, the saga of undashing Cody Rhodess. >> Undashing Cody Rhodess. >> Yes. While most fans today will know Cody Rhodess as the American Nightmare, this wasn't always the spot he held in the landscape of the industry. >> No. Back during his initial run in WWE in the late 2000s and early 2010s, [music] he was struggling to find a place that wasn't the dead zone of the Smackdown midcar. Of course, while this was a difficult time for Roads, a time which saw him cycle through many failed gimmicks, it wasn't like he didn't strike gold at least once. It's just that the gold he struck here has gone forgotten by so many today. What was this hidden gem? Well, it was undashing Cody. >> Yes, the idea here was that after working a gimmick as dashing Cody Rhodess for a while, a vain pretty boy heel, an injury would leave the grandson of a plumber wearing a face mask. as in full Phantom of the Opera style, he descended into the role of a hate-filled monster who didn't want anyone looking upon his vis. >> Obviously then, this did a lot in getting Cody over during the early 2010s, largely on account of the fact that with his mask being clear plastic, we could all see that his face looked exactly the same as it always had. >> So, there was more than a hint of comedy interspersed into this maniacal gimmick. That said, it wasn't [laughter] the only fun story line happening on the blue brand during the mid to late 2000s. [laughter] Now, our next entry also falls into that category. The enemies to tense friends angle that was Matt Hardy versus MVP. >> Oh, I remember this. I remember the Matt MVP back and forth. Who remembers this on Smackdown? Man, this was actually pretty good. >> That's right. Smackdown could be a rough place during the second half of the first brand extension. Really, it was often a show that felt like anything below the main event scene was completely skippable. But there were people in the midcart of the blue brand here who were determined to make something out of what they were given. And that was rarely more apparent than in the work put out here by Matt Hardy and MVP back in 2007 and 2008. It all started during the former year. That was when Matt and Montel first got involved in a beef with one another. One which saw them have a series of showdowns. Yeah. >> And these weren't all straight matches either. No. While they would meet in one-on-one action, the pair would also take part in fun, if bizarre, skits and comedy segments, such as was the case when at the Great American Bash on July 22nd [laughter] of that year, they'd have a basketball game, an arm wrestling contest, and a chess match. >> [laughter] >> Then of course there was the boxing bout which was supposed to see the two lock horns but which ended with MVP pulling himself at the last minute due to injury and instead being replaced with former undisputed heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield. That was a spectacle if nothing else. And it felt like the peak of what the program could do. How little we all knew then because not long after this the duo were paired up together by Smackdown general manager Teddy Long and forced to become a full-time tag team. Yes, it was that classic odd couple pairing, the one which has worked for so many different acts. And it certainly worked here because come August, they'd be dethroning Deuce and Domino as WWE tag team champions. But this still wouldn't be the end of their issues. No. After dropping those same belts a few months later, Matt Hardy and MVP would be at each other's throats once more. With this continuing to be the case all the way up until April of the following year when at Backlash, the former beat the latter for his United States title. In the process, finally closing out their program after almost a full year. While it might not be as celebrated as Austin Rock or Hogan Savage, it's clear the Matt Hardy MVP feud deserves more love as it was a perfect midcard angle which served its purpose and then some. And that's the thing. This is why I say I want WWE to do that more. Not every feud needs to be for the top championship or those are the only feuds that you care about. Put emphasis into the midcard feud. put emphasis into these other situations with wrestlers that don't really have much to do at the moment. Because if you put emphasis there and you somewhat make people care, then when you try to push them into that midc card, top of the card range, people have already like, you know what, I like what they did there. I'm ready to see them go for the top title. I'm ready to see them at the top of the card. You gradually build them up. But if you only care about your top main feuds and everything else, you just don't give a damn. How do you expect fans to care about these characters and want them s to succeed? That's why I mean like you you got to be able to give that type of attention to detail to some of the midc card too. They can benefit from it. >> And it wasn't the only time WWE have found success doing an enemy to friend story as the same thing would happen with our next entry. the story of Cesaro and Sheamus, which eventually led us to the formation of the bar. >> This is how it happened. >> Yes, it isn't a controversial statement to say that both Sheamus and Cesaro are excellent in ring workers. Unfortunately for both of these men, however, outside of some early periods in Sheamus' career, neither were ever pushed as hard as they should have been. And this has led to a lot of their work falling under the radar somewhat with that never being more apparent than in the work they created together during the mid to late 2010s. What was it they did here that was so special? Well, it all began with a very good best of seven series, which allowed each of them to do what they did best over the course of the summer of 2016, and that was absolutely tear it up in the ring. >> Yeah. >> Hell, so good would Cesaro and Sheamus be together here. By the time their series was reaching its end, fans were asking for them to be paired up as a tag team. And in the end, that's exactly what would happen. Because when their seventh bout finished in a no contest, meaning the whole thing was deemed a draw, then general manager of Raw, Mick Foley, saw an opportunity to have them pair up full-time going forward. As you might expect, then this turned out to be the best decision Mrs. Foley's baby boy could have possibly made. As over the course of the next couple of years, the bar turned into one of WWE's top duos. Good enough that they'd win the tag team titles on five separate occasions. Pick it up. >> Rivalry does not end up in the two men involved teaming up, though. Can this still create an underrated storyline? Why, of course it can. And if you need an example of that being the case, you need only look towards our next entry, the 2015 program between the Undertaker and >> this was fun. Post streak. Oh, this was fun. I enjoyed this. This was so damn fun, bro. [laughter] Oh my god. I think this involved did this involve that massive brawl where they was basically like this was like one of the we've seen a lot of brawls in wrestling but this may have been one of the most fantastic brawls where they had the whole locker room trying to separate these guys and you had the Undertaker uh talking about I'm going to kill you or one of them was talking about I'm going to kill you and other guy's like you're going to have to. It was so good. so good, bro. >> And Brock Lesnar. Now, we know The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar have feuded multiple times over the years, but in the case of their first two feuds, the ones which took place during the early to mid 2000s and in the buildup to Wrestlemania 30, they've both been rightfully praised numerous times by fans. Unfortunately though, the same cannot necessarily be said about the resurgence of their lengthy rivalry they engaged in during the summer of 2015. And that really is a shame because in many ways this iteration of their beef was just as good as anything which came before. >> So good, bro. >> Now, this was possibly the last great feud the Undertaker ever had. And it all came about because the dead man was furious that the beast had ended his undefeated streak at the showcase of the immortals the year prior. So once he'd picked himself back up again, then he'd return and make a quick beline for Lesnar. Hell, this would be so intense it created a very memorable pull aart brawl on an episode of Raw, which all ultimately served as a prelude to the two meeting one. >> I think that may be one of the best brawls ever on Monday Night Raw. I'm being so dead serious. That may be one of the best pull- aart brawls cuz it looked real. They sold it so well. They had the whole roster out there trying to separate them. You got these guys saying, "I'm going to kill you." They're going to try to kill each other. and you believed it and even then they were fighting in the back and they were it took everybody on the roster. If you were in Kaden, you came out there to help them break up this brawl. That was fun. You don't get too many good brawls like that. That may go down as my personal favorite WWE brawl ever. It's up there as one of the best ever. So fun. >> More at SummerSlam on August 23rd of that year. Who won this one? Well, that would be the phenom, albeit under controversial circumstances, as in truth, Mark Callaway had already tapped out before he caught his opponent in a hell's gate. It was just that the referee didn't see it. >> So, in order to settle things once and for all, then a final showdown was booked for Hell in a Cell two months later, where inside the titular cage, the pair put on one of the best cell bouts of the modern era. One which ended with the beast coming out the winner. And so like that, the lengthy feud between the Undertaker and Brock Lesnar finally drew to a close, as did the dead man's career in many ways. Because while he would wrestle again, he'd never have an inring match which even approached this level of quality. No, this was a spiritual end of the road for the man who'd been part of the WWE for decades by that point. And so for that reason alone, it deserves to be remembered better. Of course, this wasn't the only time Brock Lesnar was involved in an underrated feud on WWE TV. However, no. There's at least one more example that we can think of. One which comes in the form of our next entry, his 2017 program. >> Yes. Oh my god, this was so good. This was so good. Oh my god. And they did. This is one of the feuds that ultimately pissed me off because I felt like you had lightning in a bottle and they they didn't pull the trigger because they wanted Roman Reigns to be the guy. That's that's the only reason, bro. This was so entertaining. You believed Joe would be one of those people that could put down Brock. Oh my god. those promos alone, that backstage promo where they were separated in the arena and they was like, "Bro, why are we doing this? Hold on." He takes off the the microphone. Where you at? Where you at, Brock? And pulls up to his door like, "WHAT'S UP, BROCK? COME ON." CUZ HE PUT HIS advocate to sleep. Then he end up he was putting Brock to sleep. This [ __ ] was so good. Joe was on time and like, "Where you at, bro? I'm I'm sick of this. You you hiding behind your advocate. BRING YOUR [ __ ] ASS. YOU KNOW WHAT? I'MMA FIND YOU. OH my god. I tend to go back and watch some of these promo segments. It's just some of the best stuff. They just wasn't going to put the title on on Samojo. If there's anybody I would have been okay with, a lot of fans would have been okay with putting the title on Samoa Joe would have been perfect around this time >> with Samoa Joe. >> So good. >> That's right. This one happened right in the midst of the beast's second lengthy run on top during the mid to late 2010s. And what a great feud it was, as it basically just allowed two big horses to go at each other full force. >> Of course, we all know the shootute fighting credentials of Brock Lesnar, but it shouldn't go forgotten that while he isn't an MMA star himself, Samoa Joe is also a very intimidating man who could more than hold his own in a real fight. >> This was so good. So, when the pair clashed over the Universal title at the terribly named Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view in July of 2017, it was instant magic as they had excellent chemistry right off the bat with neither man being afraid to stiff the other one up. >> Hell, so great would the match which followed be Joe would get another shot at the gold at SummerSlam [music] one month later when he was added to a four-way which also included Roman Reigns and Braun Strow. >> That was great, too. >> Really though, what makes this one extra special is that you can tell Lesnar was motivated during it. Obviously then Samoa Joe must have left quite an impact on the champ for him to bring his >> Hey, look when we're not talking to you. Oh, we can get this [ __ ] straightened OUT RIGHT NOW. THIS WAS such a good segment, bro. Oh my god. Oh, when WWE was firing on all cylinders, they were firing on on all cylinders. The only problem was we all knew it was for Roman Reigns. Everything else didn't really matter. But this was entertaining cuz Joe was like, "Hey, I beat your ass. I don't give a damn. What you talking about, buddy?" [laughter] >> A game here and that gave fans a real treat. Come on now. This was such a memorable feud and it injected so much life into the main event scene on Raw. There were many calls for this to be the moment the Samoan submission machine got a run as world champion in WWE. >> It should have happened. Sadly though, that would not be how things played out, and Joe would instead be left to find those world title wins elsewhere later on down the line. >> And I'm glad he got it in AEW. I'm so glad he got it in AW. He looks like a world champion. I didn't like how things ultimately ended towards the end of his second run, but that's neither here nor there. But nevertheless, I'm still glad that he ultimately ended up getting the world championship run that he deserved in WWE that he most likely will never get, but glad he was able to get it in AEW. >> But even if that's the case, it can't take away from how much energy this program created. As like with all the best feuds, they felt like two guys who truly were ready to knock each other out if that was what the match demanded of them. But let's move away from WWE for now, as they're not the only company who has put out underrated storylines over the years. No, World Championship Wrestling would have their fair share of those, too. And one of those would be our next entry, as it happens, the program between Hulk Hogan and Billy Kidman. Yes, we're going back to WCW 2000. >> A bad time for wrestling, as to this day, it still stands as possibly the worst run any company has ever had. Uh-huh. >> That said, this shouldn't suggest there was nothing redeeming about the whole thing, as there was at least one underrated angle to be found within the muk here. What was that angle? Well, it was the aforementioned one which saw Hulk Hogan, then member of the Millionaires Club, take on newb blood upandcomer Billy Kidman for a series of matches. Sure, the psychology may have been a little off here, as the pluckucky young upandcomer was being treated as the heel and the old-timer millionaire the baby face, but that didn't stop the feud from being worthwhile. as it did somewhat help Kidman once it was over. How did it do this? Well, in an incredibly rare example of the Hulkster putting someone over, he do so with his opponent here by losing in the middle of the ring. That's right. The fact Kidman can say he pinned the Hulkster is something which can never be taken away from him for the rest of his days. >> Yeah. >> No, he now stands amongst that rare class of people like the Ultimate Warrior and The Rock who actually beat Terry Bala by pinfall. And this is a big achievement. Maybe still the biggest achievement of Kidman's career to this day. >> Really, how many other WCW cruiserweights can say they got such an honor. >> Not even a Rey Mysterio or a Chris Jericho can make such a claim. >> But we've talked enough about the turn of the millennium period for WCW for now. Let's move back over to that same time period for the WWF instead. The period which gave us our next great underrated storyline, the feud between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Good Love in the spring of 1998. >> Oh, damn. >> Now, if you were around during the spring of 1998, you'll remember that this was right as the attitude era was kicking off with Steve Austin having just won the WWF title from Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 14. He was on top of the world. But while fans were very happy to see this, one person who was not happy was Vince McMahon, as he wanted nothing more than to get the belt off the guy he didn't see as being a fit corporate champion for his promotion. >> And so it was then that Austin versus McMahon began, arguably the greatest story line of all time. >> But nestled within this great story line was a smaller one which often gets forgotten today. as of all the handpicked heels the boss chose to get the belt off the rattlesnake. Arguably the best was the first one, dude love. Why was that? Well, because over the course of two matches, first at Unforgiven in your house on April 26th and again at Over the Edge in your house on May 31st, Dude Love would help to fully establish Austin as the guy by putting on two very strong bouts with him. Hell, the second one, which happened at Over the Edge, might represent the peak of what the Attitude [music] Era could be when it was at its best. And we say that because it was so wacky. What with it featuring Vince McMahon and his stooges serving as guest referee, timekeeper, and ring announcer, all in the hopes that one of them would be able to screw the champ. It set the template for what the time period's main events would look like going forward. Truly, if you weren't around to see this feud firsthand, then you have to go back and at least watch the second match now. [music] It's pretty much perfect cartoon mayhem from start to finish, and it probably represented the peak of the Rattlesnake's first run as champ. More so than that, though, it showed his bosses that Mick Foley could be a guy who operated at the main event level in the WWF, with this reaching its climax less than a year later when Mrs. Foley's baby boy beat The Rock on the January 4th, 1999 episode of Raw to win the WWF title for himself. >> Y, >> of course, even before the Attitude Era, though, WWE had some very underrated storylines. ones which are in dire need of being rediscovered. So, let's rediscover one of those next now. Namely, the one from the New Generation era, which saw Sunny use her wilds to manipulate pretty much the entire tag team division by jumping around different duos and serving as a manager to each of them. Yes, this really is one which has flown under the radar in the years since. >> That's a crazy thing. [laughter] She's just jumping the team to team [laughter] >> as you never hear anyone talk about it anymore. Sure, part of the reason for that is because it happened during a time period where fewer fans than ever were watching the show. But even if you take that into account, it's still gone mostly forgotten. And this is a shame because back in New Generation era, before everything that happened with her husband, Sunny truly was one of the most entertaining stars WWF had on their roster. No, she wasn't a wrestler or anything, but she could do pretty much anything else. Whether that be backstage interviewer, commentator, or of course, manager. Hell, it was her managerial duties which made up this entry. As between 1995 and 1998, she'd make it her gimmick to be the secret power broker of the tag team division. How did she do this? Well, by acquiring the services of so many of the notable duos in the WWF at the time, something she started doing in 95 with the Body Donna's, the team which included her real life boyfriend Chris Candido. As time went on though, managing the Body Donna's wouldn't be enough for Tammy Citch. So, it was then that she started branching out [music] and this was what led to her turning on her team and aligning herself with the Godwins instead of May of 1996. >> Yeah, there was some other stuff going on behind the scenes, too. boy. She Oh, man. I think we checked out a video about some of the her escapades and you know how she was doing her guy dirty. It was Yeah, bro. It was Yeah, bro. It was It was a lot going on. A lot. Six. Why had she shacked up with the pig farmers here? Well, because they just won the tag team titles and Sunny knew that managing the champs meant more money for her in the long run. But that wouldn't be the New Jersey native's final stop when it came to her managerial duties, as once she rung everything she could out of the Godwwinds, she'd throw them to the curb and take on the Smoking Guns as clients. Obviously then this helped the duo of Root and Tootin Cowboys go to the next level themselves when they also ended up winning tag team gold. What happened following on from there? Well, eventually Bart and Billy Gun would lose their gold as well. And once that happened, Sunny moved on from them with her next step in the tag team division being to briefly manage the Legion of Doom in early 1998. That's right, it was quite a ride and it showed just how valuable Sunny was to this era of the WWE. >> Everybody's move away from her and on to someone else who played an important role in New Generation era WWF, partially on account of a very underrated storyline. Who are we talking about here? Why Jerry Lawler and his rivalry with Extreme Championship Wrestling, [laughter] of course. >> Yes. While WWF and ECW were two separate companies back in the mid 90s, they did have an informal working relationship, one which centered around Vince McMahon secretly helping to fund the Renegade Philly promotion in exchange for access to a number of Paul Heymon's talent should he choose to hire them. >> As you would expect, then this meant there was the occasional bit of crossover with the territories. Yep. >> No, it wasn't like a full-blown forbidden door situation or anything, but there was one notable occasion when the Extreme Championship Wrestling roster invaded Monday Night Raw in early 1997. How did the WWF roster react to this? Well, in the case of Jerry Lawler, he'd let his distaste for the entire situation be known as he was sitting out at the commentary booth. And the reason he had such a distaste for the situation was because he [music] genuinely did not like ECW with him seeing it as trash wrestling. >> Yeah. >> So using [laughter] this then Vince McMahon would have the King lean into this hatred as the weeks went on by having him continue to call out Paul Heyaymon and his band of Merry M. >> Yeah, bro. He he legit was talking mad [ __ ] about them, bro. He legit thought they were bums. Straight garbage. [laughter] He he was like, "Damn, bro. What they do to you?" [laughter] >> for being what Jim Cornet might refer to as an outlaw mud show. Clearly then, this did not go down well with the ECW audience, an audience that already hated the WWF. And so, as things progressed even further, this quiet interpromotional rivalry began gathering a lot of heat over in the 2300 arena. Really, the only question at this point was, could there possibly be a payoff to the entire thing? And that was a question we'd get an answer to when at orgy of violence on July 12th, 1997, the king made a surprise appearance to nuclear booze from the live crowd. Yes, as Lawler stood there in the ring and ran down extremely crappy wrestling, fans in attendance felt like they were on the verge of rioting. [laughter] Honestly, it was the kind of heat Jerry probably loved as it reminded him of the Old Territory days. >> Yeah, bro. >> And it led directly into >> He was getting [laughter] real. That's real nuclear heat. Like that's the heat you want. You don't really see it too much. You see it every now and then, but to get real nuclear heat is a wrestller's dream because now you have people that are like thinking about jumping the barricade wanting to kill you because they hate you that much. You got them. You rage baited them to the point of they're willing. They're thinking about committing crimes against you. They know this is a storyline. They know this is a work, but you've got them so mad that they don't care. That's that's that's rare to see. You know, it's rare to get nuclear heel heat like that. >> A six-man tag at Heatwave not long thereafter when the King actually wrestled in an ECW ring. They're teaming up with Rob Vanam and Saboo to take on Tommy Dreamer, the Sandman, and Rick Rue. Why is this one not talked about more today then? That's hard to say. Maybe it's because WWE hasn't promoted as much in the years since. It's certainly a great underrated story line. Right up there on the same level as our next entry, Sami Zayn's journey toward the NXT World title from the mid2010s. >> Come on now. In many ways, this is the best story NXT has ever told. So, for it to not be as highly rated as something like the saga of DIY or the rise of the four horse women, well, that's a crime. Really, it was the first time WWE fans would have gotten a chance to see how great of a baby face Sami Zayn could be. How did it all play out? Well, during the early days of black and gold era NXT, the through line would pretty much be the Canadian wanting to win the world title, but never quite being able to get there as he always ended up bottling it at the final hurdle. Hell, this would be the case across multiple editions of Takeover and Weekly TV throughout 2014, with it always being true that no matter how many shots Zayn got, he'd end up walking away the loser once things were over. And this stung all the more for him because the man then holding the belt he wanted for himself was one of his peers in Adrien Neville, aka Pack. So to see the Englishman find all this success when he couldn't get himself together, it only did a further number on the Quebec native psyche and caused him to stumble even more as time went on. So bad did things get. In fact, after failing to beat Neville on two separate occasions, once in a fatal four-way, which included Tyson Kidd and Tyler Breeze, and once in a singles bout, the champ would inform Sammy that he was only getting one more shot at the gold. And if he wanted to get that last shot, he would have to put something on the line himself. That's right. When the final showdown took place between the pair at TakeOver R Ev Revolution on December 11th, 2014, the Baby Face would be forced to leave NXT should he lose again. >> As you would expect, then this made the whole match very tense. And it also made the ending all the more cathartic as when Zayn finally got the one two three, it meant he'd be staying around on the brand now as champion. >> All it took was for him to finally get out of his own head and be the man everyone knew he could be. Sure, things took a downturn for him immediately thereafter when his real life best friend Kevin Owens turned [laughter] on him. That was the reality for Sammy now that he was the champ. Everyone was going to be gunning for him. >> This is so >> Need any further proof of this? Just look at the target The Miz had painted on his back when he was defending his Intercontinental title in our next entry for great underrated storylines. [music] The story line which saw him beef with Dolph Ziggler. >> Miz and Dolph Chef's kiss. This was good. This was good. Oh my goodness. This was so entertaining. This is honestly I think this may be the best work Miz has done in his entire career. I think this will go down as some of his best work. This was so [ __ ] fire, bro. This they really elevated the Intercontinental Championship in this particular feud. This was really good >> for that same belt back in 2016. So fire. >> Yes, this was truly great. And it focused on what was happening in the ring with some [music] great matches. >> And in focusing on that, it gave the Intercontinental title division a boost right when it needed it the most. >> Needed it. >> After all, if this was supposed to be the workhorse belt, then great matches should be its bread and butter. [music] >> A few people were better at pulling out consistently great matches back in 2016 than Dolph Ziggler. It all started at Backlash. That was when the pair met for the first time. And on this night, Mike Misannon would surprise everyone by holding his own in the ring with his opponent. Enough to where he actually came out the victor. Of course, Dolph wasn't happy to let things end there, though. No, he'd want a rematch. A rematch which eventually happened on Smackdown a couple of weeks later. Who won that one? Well, it would be The Miz again, albeit via underhanded tactics. So, as a result of this, a third bout was scheduled for No Mercy on October 9th. With this one proving to be the best in the series by far as with his career on the line, Ziggler was able to finally dethrone the incoming champ as the pair completely stole the show. >> So, good. >> Even then though, things would continue as on Smackdown just one month later, a fourth match took place with The Miz managing to win his gold back here, although again through underhanded means. So that meant another decider was going to have to be booked. This [music] time an absolute feud ending one in the form of a ladder match. Where did that match take place? Well, this would fittingly happen at TLC tables, ladders, and chairs on December 4th with Mike Misan once again coming out the victor as the whole thing was finally put to bed. Yes, even if it isn't as well remembered today as it should be, it was great. [music] >> But then every story line we've looked at today is also underrated. in their own way. >> It was entertaining, man. That's that stuff was entertaining. And honestly, like I said earlier in this video, if you put time and energy into some of these feuds, they can be memorable. They don't always have to be for the the World Championship. It can be a feud that doesn't even involve a title. Just two guys have an issue and they want to hash it out. We all remember the Edge and Lita and Matt love triangle. That was a real thing and people still talk about that feud to this day cuz it was so good and so visceral and so personal and real, you know? So I I feel like if you invest in your mid card, it ultimately helps everything because if you only invest in the top and then everything below is shaky or you know people are not really you know caring too much about it doesn't help out for everybody. But hey, comment down below. Let me know what's your favorite underrated feud. A feud that doesn't get talked about much but you feel like it deserves to get that love and attention. Let me know down below. I appreciate all love support. road two 200k. Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See you on the next one. Peace.
