Please, in the name of whoever you place on your Mount Rushmore of wrestling.

At this moment we are eight or nine years into Seth Rollins vs. the Mysterio clan. The Hurt Business has been scrapping with Generic Babyface Inc. since time began, and even the admittedly excellent feud for the WWE title has seen Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre battle on two of the last three pay-per-views, with both men costing each other matches and ending shows in pull-apart brawls countless times on top of that.

Drawn-out feuds that last across months or even years can be career-defining moments for those participating - if the story is good. If the same two wrestlers have the same one-on-one contest every other week on TV and PPV, interspersed with the formulaic scrapping around ringside, then things get old real quick.

In a conversation with Bret Hart earlier this year, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin expressed his disbelief when their WrestleMania 13 match was booked, as he thought they needed a good few months to properly build to the grudge match. The payoff is worth the wait - just look at how big of a deal Brock Lesnar matches are. They're must-see because we haven't already seen them nine times in the past two months.
