10 Terrible Feuds That Ended With Great Matches | partsFUNknown

[@shawnmichaels568]

Brock lesnar vs Roman reigns at SummerSlam 2022 was absolutely incredible, Brock lifting the ring with a tractor, Paul heyman getting F5'd through the announce table etc..

[@enigmaskull3495]

If that was the official last match between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, then it was great way to end the Broman program.

[@mattalan6618]

i still go back and watch that match

[@diabeticman2194]

I love that match so much, definitely one the peak examples of sports entertainment done right

[@Dbryson23]

Yes. I remember being there live and watching it. It was one of the most chaotic things I’ve ever seen

[@Hulkling93]

I will probably give it a rewatch because I felt it was the usual, outplayed, Roman-Lesnar, until the ring lift.

[@MazeDaGr8]

Wrestlemania 31 and 37 are some of the prime examples of Bad Builds, Fantastic shows

[@misterwishart]

WM31 is good, but not fantastic. Try watching it without FF and sit through all the bloody padding that show has

[@SoftBank47]

I’ll always have some good memories associated with WM31 (aka Play Button). It was my first WrestleMania, and while I didn’t love everything, I thought it was a great show. But…I was loving NXT more at the time, and I had also seen Wrestle Kingdom 9 (which literally changed my life), so my first WM was a bit muted.

[@pablodiaz5325]

The last great wrestlemania was 31, then is the shits because everybody had to get in the card and nobody cares except for the main event

[@SomeoneElse-]

@@misterwishart What's FF?

[@Jerome-Boateng]

@@pablodiaz5325 I thought last year wrestlemania was pretty damn great. Almost every match delivered except for the main event of Night 2, and that’s only because Roman got injured.

[@SonnyO]

The whole Invasion angle had amazing match quality in the main event scene. Rock, Austin, Angle, RVD, Booker T, and Jericho had some of their best work then.

[@Wurzelknecht]

Yeah, 2001 really is one of the best years if you just look at the quality of the PPV matches. And until I decided to finally watch the entire era on the network (didn't have WWE on Free TV back then), that was all I ever knew about WWF in 2001, so I never got why people hated that year. And to be honest, even the TV shows had some good to them. Like I genuinely think that heel-Austin was one of the most entertaining and creative phases of Austin's career. And it became obvious as soon as he turned back to babyface after Survivor Series, that the creative tank of the old Austin character was empty.

[@claytonrios1]

I definitely think that a great match after an uninteresting or even cringe worthy feud is at least a nice prize for sitting through the rough parts of a feud that wasn't well thought out.

[@vishaalanand]

it’s kinda funny that if Lesnar did the Brock Party stuff today it would probably be much more well received cause of how his character has evolved

[@JustChrisTM]

Sheamus vs Cesaro. The audience audibly groaned at Mick Foley putting them in a best of 7 series. 6 matches in, nobody cared. Then match 7 had everyone wanting more.

[@PICFL1]

“STOP IT…WHY CANT I QUIT YOU!” 🤣🤣 So true. Sometimes it gets to the point you dont even know why your watching then something like Edges Rumble Return happens, or Rock Vs Hogan. And you realize this is why.

[@eliebechara3811]

Cole's "Kickout by Sasha" messed it up a bit though 😂😂😂

[@Sledgehammer78]

That "Why can't I quit you!?" from Adam at the end.... Super felt by me prior to Summerslam last year... I was getting burnt out.... Then that night my kiddo watched it with me and he immediately latched on to the product. He loved Brock's tractor antics. He's been hooked ever since and it has helped me regain my enjoyment(not quite love, yet) out of the business.

[@Cursed_Mark]

The Debra stuff in the run up to WM 17 wasn't great, but I wouldn't dismiss the feud completely. I particularly liked the sit down interview with both Austin and Rock, where Austin hints at his future heel turn by explaining his "need" to become the WWF champ again after his long hiatus.

[@coltsmallwood7835]

"Simple country hyperchicken" popped me so much. Love Futurama so much

[@diabeticman2194]

The 6 man tag between Darby, Sting and Sammy Guevara vs AHFO at Revolution 2022 is another one for me; a build I was not a fan of that went completely balls to the wall with action and the first of Sting's many balcony dives last year! Also want to give some love to NXT Vengeance Day last night, decently fun show overall

[@ktownshutdown21]

This is actually an interesting topic that I've thought about before; especially nowadays people can hope straight to social media and nitpick storylines on a week to week basis, but ultimately what people take away from them in the long-term is whether it has a satisfying conclusion or not. The ends justifying the means.

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

I'll still maintain that House of Black/Varsity Blondes had the fun idea of a teen slasher movie behind it. They didn't quite deliver on it, but I really enjoyed the freaks stalking the jocks.

[@matthewrocks23]

Literally live Adam Blampied, been listening since WhatCulture and it always feels great to hear him and make his lists. But with this I must admit that when they booked Brock vs Roman in 2015 we would’ve never had imagined a great rivalry that everyone will be talking about in decades to come. Like the heist of the century was perfect and both men have changed drastically since their first encounter

[@TheDukeofMadness]

The Triple H/Kane feud growing out of the Katie Vick vomitus led to Trips and HBK having several bangers.

[@TheDukeofMadness]

@@Kingofb0ngstyle I remembered it erroneously. I always thought the first shot fired was Shawn super kicking Trips after coming out of the coffin during the match with Kane to finish off the Katie Vick nonsense.

[@ericthomas917]

Thar storyline had nothing to do with Triple H vs HBK lol

[@imjusthere750]

Adam Blampied I just want you to know your videos are some of the most enjoyable things I watch on KZbin. I still watch you 10 fascinating facts of Wrestlemania, Summerslam, and KOR on that dumpster fire of a channel where your videos are still the highest viewed despite not being there in 6 years. Please feel free to bring back the facts for other PPVs on this channel.

[@boyankovachev7982]

Come on now, mate. Wc still has Simon, and only because of him, they are still good, if not great channel. Imo, Simon and Adam are the two best personalities in the Internet wrestling community. One love ❤️

[@AcornPlays]

Head over to No Rolls Barred if you love Adam and have even a passing interest in board games, I went over just for more Adam content and ended up falling in love with the whole gang and board games in general

[@SESauvie]

It hurts my soul that this probably is setup to great feuds with horrible blow offs because a terrible ending is what I fear most in the Bloodline angle.

[@jasonmarinezslowpoke8845]

How do you want to see The bloodline angle end?!

[@gauravshahi6334]

@@jasonmarinezslowpoke8845 Sami/Jey winning the universal title with the help of Sami/Jey would be the perfect ending imo. Roman losing the bloodline, his titles and his wiseman would be the end to his character arc.

[@jasonmarinezslowpoke8845]

@@gauravshahi6334 What about the both the Usos cost Roman the titles at WM Night 2 after they lose their tag titles at Night 1?

[@SuperDaidai14]

Idc what anyone says, I may have hated the way Brock won money in the bank, but Brock WITH the briefcase afterwards was hilariously great

[@patrickearles471]

the feud between Miro & Kip Sabian and Best Friends was so awful (other than Miro calling Chuck Taylor "Charles"), but Arcade Anarchy was so good

[@diabeticman2194]

I keep forgetting about that match, but it was really fun! Best Friends/Santana and Ortiz in the Parking Lot Brawl was great blow off as well

[@JaimeD.]

Yeah, *FTR vs The Young Bucks* was a fantastic match, including the sequel in 2022. And, it was 2020 where many angles were questionable across promotions around the world (I'M LOOKING AT YOU NEW JAPAN WITH YOUR EVIL OVER PUSH!).

[@mjb2697]

The Evil overpush literally turned me off NJPW. Legit.

[@ArcanaEric]

@@mjb2697 It wouldn't have bothered me if they had actually turned Evil into a believable top guy, but Gedo just saddled him with the typical shitty Bullet Club interferences in every match to the point where he came off as a loser.

[@Stooboot]

The most true line that ever been spoken "I can't stop watching because I never know what's going to happen"

[@tezzzzzzzz]

ultraviolet discos 😭😭 my biggest fear now is that they've had the incredible storyline aspect with the Bloodline, that the ultimate pay-off is never going to live up to it.

[@thebunnygod1605]

I have a idea you should make top 10 matches that were better than the main event matches video

[@jmls3584]

Rhea Ripley vs. Charlotte at Money in the Bank for me. That feud was so stupid, the crowd didn't care & was chanting for Becky at the beginning, but the match was so good those two won them over by the end.

[@johnloper]

I respected Adam being the first KZbinr to threaten murder for not subscribing

[@CenationTroop]

I don't agree with number 3. The buildup to Rock vs Austin and the weeks leading up to it was amazing and the match itself felt like a huge deal, much more so than their first and last matches at Wrestlemania. Debra probably wasn't needed but it was still a great build

[@leaderofnoone9087]

Honestly that build up had way too much Debra in for it own good. Also it reminds me of one of wrestlings habits, which is unnecessary drama being inserted into a feud that already has a huge amount of anticipation around, and I don't know why every company does it too.

[@jonprice9214]

They frustratingly muddied the water with Debra. But the TV was genuinely unmissable. Recently re watched a lot of that era and the crowds were absolutely fuckin molten week after week. They could only dream of that these days. The interview they had with JR was absolutely fantastic. Austin blew my tiny little teenage mind with the old "I need to beat you Rock. More than anything you could ever imagine.." monologue.

[@MrUltrasaber]

I thought Sheamus and Big Show blew off their feud at TLC 2012 not Hell in a Cell.

[@Funkypanda87]

Shelton Benjamin's ladder Un spot has always been my favourite, makes me so happy it's no#1. One of my fav wrestlers, horribly underrated and underutilised.

[@tafua_a]

About number 2 and its go home Raw, LittleKuriboh's words on it will always stick with me: (Imitating Lesnar and Reigns playing tug of war) "Eh." "Eh." "Eh." "It's mine." "No it's mine." "You're a jerk." "No you're a jerk." "Eh."

[@daiemmohammad8640]

Wrestling being Adam's addiction is very funny

[@alpha068]

Randy Orton absolutely roasted 😂😂

[@wyattangle]

He's my favorite wrestler of all time....yet Adam is right though. I love all his stories. All his crazy promos. He's my fave because of his CHARACTER(s), not his matches. It is what it is😁.

[@codyweaver7546]

Could you imagine if the invasion was actually good? I think if it was good it might have led to a second boom period.

[@logansheffield8641]

Definitely looking forward to the inverse of this list featuring Randy Orton at least 7 times.

[@Saltyoven]

Tbh, you could of just said instead of Rock vs Steve Austin, The Road to Wrestlemania 17 as a whole. what a lot of people forget is how bad most of the feuds were going into it.

[@shrawanacharya3895]

Sheamus and big show feud started on hell in a cell where bigshow won the world championship. And it ended with the giant chair at TLC

[@TheJuliet316]

I have to object, Brock dancing with the briefcase like a boombox was quite fun. I probably have my Austin blinders on, but I didn't quite mind the build up between Austin/Rock. The ending... though... Yeah...(No, still not a fan of Austin turning heel) The one highlight of that Invasion storyline that was Paul Heyman's workshoot promo against Vince the SMACKDOWN before Survivor Series.

[@jdog7673]

In ring is JUST AS important as segments. And you can do great storytelling in both ways and with both ways. It’s like if with all that build to avengers endgame ended with a 2 minute final battle. Wrestling matters in PRO WRESTLING but a certain section of fans refuse to accept that for whatever reason (wwe brainwashing)

[@OptimusProvost]

I was expecting Sasha Banks vs Bianca Belair to be number 1. That feud was nauseatingly awful!

[@Maor4444]

When I was 13, my brothers and I watched the WWE vs WCW match (without having any context or knowledge about anything leading up to it) so many times because it was incredibly fun to watch, it is an epic match regardless of its messy storyline.

[@PUCKTHEGREATEST]

Stop. The feud between Big Show and Sheamus ruled. The segment between the WMD and Brouge Kick on Smackdown kicked ass. That feud was cool as hell. It’s one of 3 good things Sheamus did as champion in 2012.

[@thefiggamehunt6946]

No 1 should be luke v Oli that ended for the wrestletalk championship

[@spacedoutgaming]

If this ever gets redone, Charlotte vs Rhea from this year would be on this surely

[@themurc6391]

Say what you want. Boombox Brock was fun and I believe it was the first signs of current day Brock Lesnar where he is clearly actually enjoying his time performing.

[@ericmonaco4509]

Honorable Mention: Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero - Ladder Match - For the custody of Dominik - Summerslam 2005

[@Top10Rangers]

Whoah easy fellas, Sheamus vs Big Show fued was NOT worse than Sheamus vs Del Rio. I actually thought that was the best Show had been in ages and the most tolerable Sheamus had been during that agreed, awful babyface run discussed.

[@trigun1081]

👍🏼👍🏼for a deep Futurama reference in there.

[@Wurzelknecht]

I honestly haven't watched a complete episode of RAW or Smackdown since 2005, and ever since then I basically just kept an ear out for any good PPVs the company produced and bought those on DVD or nowadays watch them on the Network. Never watched a single episode of NXT, but loved every TakeOver show. If they do a good enough job recapping the story before or during the match, that's enough for me. And sometimes it's even better. Best example: I wasn't able to watch WWF/WWE from like 2000 till mid-2003, due to them losing their free-TV slot in my country. So when I first watched Summerslam 2002 and the amazing Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H match, I had no clue about the story. I just knew that my all time favourite wrestler had returned to wrestling after 4 years, and I wanted to see it. Then they played that incredible video package before the match and that was all I needed to know about the story. That was enough to get me up to speed and get me hyped up for the match. I don't need to see Hunter running around for an entire episode trying to find the culprit who attacked Shawn in the parking lot when it was obvious it was him the whole time. That entire "who did it"-story was just blatant padding because they had to come up with a way to stretch this story to four weeks. That's why I was never a big fan of weekly wrestling TV. Stretching out storylines over too many episodes like butter over too much bread.

[@GamingWithCubby]

I know someone who said Seth cashing in on Brock vs Roman ruined the match and it would of been a five star match without Seth 🤢 Help

[@AtlasAlpha0678]

Not gonna lie, I loved that segment with Brock and the boombox briefcase.

[@MadSnake123]

11:32 ... That's probably the biggest, most painful and yet, the better truth about wrestling ever said ...

So yeah ...

[@niiniiniinii5936]

Is this my favorite part of Sunday? Yeaaah

[@TUNWIN8R]

Honourable mention to Bayley vs Sashas first takeover match, while not the worst build and it had the history attached to it, it was very rushed as Bayley just got back from injury so she had to quickly beat all the other horsewoman before taking on Sasha and the focus was more on the "Divas" revolution at the time. Still lead to one of my favourite matches of all time though.

[@shachardahan1081]

At number 2: how is Lesnar roman number 2? Horrible feud fantastic match. At number 1: oh yeah. The invasion.

[@jshipp5469]

The FTR and bucks feud was shitty cuz I feel like neither team really wanted to be the loser of the feud

[@tspawn35]

Roman vs Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31 was so boring to me until Rollins cashed in. I haven't watched it since the night it aired however at the time I felt that Lesnar was just going through the motions not selling for Roman at all. Only to actually sell for Rollins when he joined the match injecting life into a lifeless match.

[@DinnersOnSaturday]

Kurt Angle vs Shane McMahon going into 2001 King of the Ring comes to mind for me. Nobody will ever deny how great a match that was and how amazing Shane was to finish the match there. But their storyline feud going into that match was stupid and made zero sense. It all starts with Kurt Angle re-enacting his Olympic Gold Medal ceremony. Right in the middle of it Shane McMahon comes out for no reason at all and starts talking about how WCW will be starting up soon. It made zero sense as to why Shane would pick that particular time to come out and talk about WCW. He never had any interactions with Kurt up until that point. It all just seemed so random. Then he calls Kurt a "woosie" which causes Kurt to snap and do the angle slam and ankle lock. It was just a real stupid reason to start feud.
