8. Shane Douglas and Ric Flair
“The Franchise” Shane Douglas made his name in ECW with his popularity forming due to edgy “shoot” promos calling out many people in the wrestling industry. The most popular target of Douglas’ insults was Ric Flair. Douglas believes Flair held him back in WCW when he was a young rising star with potential and Flair had booking influence as the biggest star in the promotion. Douglas would vehemently trash Flair for years using any opportunity to demean the legend. Flair responded calling out Douglas’ lack of success in WWE and WCW and mocked the former ECW Champion for working at a Target in 2005. The two still trade insults whenever asked about the other.
7. Bret Hart and Triple H
The disdain between Triple H and Bret Hart started during the Attitude Era as Triple H was the best friend of Hart’s enemy, Shawn Michaels. Hart and Michaels had the strongest hatred in wrestling history before making peace a few years ago but Bret held onto his grudge with Triple H. In interviews, Triple H stated he played a large role in “The Montreal Screwjob” telling Michaels to refuse to lose to Hart and still believes Hart takes himself way too seriously. When asked about Triple H’s place in wrestling history, Hart said he was overrated and called him a “4 out of 10” when ranking the talent. The two are cordial enough for Bret to make sporadic WWE appearances but clearly, the hatred lives on in their comments.
