10 Classic Wrestling Rivalries That Would Have Flourished In The Attitude Era
8. Braun Strowman Vs Roman Reigns
The Roman Reigns/Braun Strowman rivalry of 2017 did more to humanise a 'Monster' and a 'Big Dog' than several prior attempts as members of Shield/Wyatt triumvirates respectively. Winning the bulk of the battles, Braun Strowman used the feud to establish himself as a true main event player, whilst Reigns solidified his big match pedigree by handing the new killer his first pinfall defeat and selection of choice brawls to dine out on across the calendar year.
There have been few feuds this decade to lean on the Attitude Era as much as the insane showdowns between the two, but with each exciting dust-up, the company were forced into cartoonish conclusions. Smashing Roman all over the Monday Night Raw backstage area shortly after WrestleMania, Strowman had to close out the beating by tipping over a gimmicked ambulance with Reigns ostensibly inside. 1998 Mick Foley would have asked - nay, insisted - that the vehicle be tipped on him, on camera no less.
Of course, a feud between the pair in 1998 could have seen one of them legitimately die, so willing was Braun to throw and Roman to catch. But how just how insane could the behemoths have made things?!
