10 Most One-Sided WWE Feuds Ever

Didn't break a sweat.

Most of history's great sporting rivalries have been pretty closely contested. Take Muhammad Ali versus Joe Frazier, for instance. That ended 2-1 in favour of the former, with their final encounter going to the 14th round.

In general, pro-wrestling has followed largely the same trend. From a marketing standpoint, it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have one competitor completely dominate another, particularly if you're planning to spread the feud out over several pay-per-views. Fans will simply lose interest if it's too obviously one-sided.

That doesn't always happen in WWE, though. Over the years, several of the company's biggest rivalries have ended up being a little asymmetrical, either in terms of the official match score-card or just the general tone (for example, if one of the two men or women involved is humiliated in promos at every available opportunity).

And before you ask: yes - at least 75% of the time, the beneficiaries of these lopsided feuds are exactly the kind of names you expect to see a W next to. We're talking John Cena, Triple H, Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker.

Hey, they got to the top for a reason.

10. John Cena Vs. JBL

At least two dozen John Cena feuds could take this spot, but the one he shared with JBL in 2005 stands out more than any other, perhaps because it was the one in which he first became Big Match John.

He was victorious twice against the Wrestling God in 2005, winning both their WrestleMania 21 showdown in Los Angeles and a particularly brutal "I Quit" Match a couple of months later at Judgement Day.

But that only tells half the story. The promos the duo shared over this period were amongst the most one-sided WWE has ever seen, with Cena taking every opportunity to bury his uptight, self-made opponent in the most humiliating fashion possible.

Had JBL been a young up-and-comer this might have been cause for complaint, but it made perfect sense given their respective career trajectories. The challenger was on his way to becoming the new face of the company, while the champion would only be around another year before taking up a role on the commentary desk. No-brainer.
