5. Shawn Michaels Vs Bret Hart
If you're going on live television every week to talk about how much you hate someone, there's a small chance that you will eventually start hating them reflexively - and that's what appeared to happen with Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart.
In front of the cameras, the pair were embroiled in a bitter feud over the WWF Championship for much of the mid-90s, with HBK sealing his maiden World title win with victory over the Excellence of Execution in a WrestleMania classic in 1996.
