7 Wrestling Grudges That NEVER Really Ended
Bret Hart still hates Goldberg, but not as much as Vince McMahon still hates Eric Bischoff?!
Wrestling is founded on confrontation. By its very nature, a great feud is built upon the believability that two (or more) people hate each other's guts and cannot stand the sight of one another, then taking that heat and turning it into hard-hitting, microphone-wielding beef for our entertainment. So it was in the beginning, so it will be forevermore.
In some of the most beloved grudges of all time, this natural dislike for one another will spill into the real world. Be it from the dirt sheets or it just being so apparent that it's impossible to ignore, two performers can dislike one another so much that their issues with one another don't end when the camera stops rolling or they come back through the curtain.
That brings us to today's list, and grudges that refuse to fully disappear. Sure, there might be moments of repair and short periods of peace between the two combatants, but underneath these minor moments of peace lies a raging war set to go on forever.
Try as they may to let bygones be bygones, these are seven feuds that will never truly be over.
7. Bret Hart and Triple H
It has warmed the soul to see Bret Hart get his flowers from all corners of wrestling's kingdom in recent years. Fans have a newfound appreciation of his peerless in-ring work and the engaging feuds he was part of, and wrestlers will regularly wax lyrical about why The Excellence of Execution is the perfect nickname for one of the best to ever engage in their craft.
This has been compounded by WWE increasing their love for the Hitman. His match with Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13 was the first to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, but there was a telling moment during that ceremony that suggests that Bret's feelings for WWE head honcho Paul Levesque aren't quite over.
Bret was caught on camera rolling his eyes at Triple H after The Game shook his hand on stage at WrestleMania 41. Bret's honesty is one of wrestling's greatest gifts, and the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" is perfect for this moment. Bret never misses a chance to suggest that Levesque doesn't really have his respect as a wrestler or as a booker, and this was yet another golden example of this well-known theory.
