10 Most Underrated WWE Feuds Of The Attitude Era

10. Shane McMahon Vs. X-Pac

It's not a stretch to say that X-Pac isn't the greatest WWE performer of all-time. In fact, I'd honestly have to question the mental capacity of anyone who made that statement with a straight face. But he did contribute to the Attitude Era more than people like to give him credit for.

A prime example of this is his rivalry with Shane McMahon. Now, Shane-O-Mac obviously has a tremendous amount of fortitude and raw talent - as evidenced by his rather large catalogue of death-defying stunts - and he was great on the mic, but when he first appeared in the ring, he was as green as could be.

He needed someone to make him look good, and X-Pac was that guy.

The amazing thing about their series of matches is just how quickly Shane evolved. In their first couple of outings he was obviously being carried by X-Pac - not to mention constant interference from members of The Corporation and the Mean Street Posse - but by this rivalry's end, he looked like a competent performer who could hold his own.

There was a lot of alliance shifting happening during this time - with DX reforming only to have Triple H turn on X-Pac while The Corporation's roster fluctuated more than Jonah Hill's waistline - but even without those accoutrements, this was a fun one to watch.
