WCW was atop the wrestling mountain for a certain unforgettable stretch during the 1990s, and fans will always remember the promotion for its industry-defining stables and stories. While the company is no more, thanks to the massive archive put together by WWE, fans get to relive a lot of Eric Bischoff & Co's glory years.

Many followers will forever watch on repeat The Outsider's first appearances in WCW, Hulk Hogan's epic heel turn that changed the game, Goldberg's first loss after his legendary run, or Sting finally taking on the nWo. However, there are quite a few great feuds that they forget about.

13 Diamond Dallas Page & Bret Hart

Bret Hart was a massive addition to the WCW roster in 1997 but his entire run was underwhelming at best, thanks to constantly inconsistent booking. At the same time, Diamond Dallas Page had arguably become the most popular WCW face in 1998, putting on awesome matches, including PPV main events, and getting a groundswell of support from fans.

Soon after, Hart started a feud with DDP after being recruited by the Hollywood chapter of the New World Order. The two WWE Hall of Famers put on some bangers for the United States Championship, proving that Hart could still go and that WCW was horribly misusing him.

12 Sting & Cactus Jack

Cactus Jack vs Sting

Mick Foley was never as big a star in WCW as he was in WWE, but that doesn't mean he didn't have a few belters down in Atlanta, Georgia. In fact, it was his Cactus Jack character that introduced mainstream American fans to the highly-gory hardcore wrestling.

And who better to work off the disillusioned, deranged Cactus Jack than the perennially over Sting, who needed an opponent of this stature and class to gain more support and credibility among fans. Their series of underrated matches hold up even today, and they even redid the whole thing for a bit in TNA in 2009.

11 Dean Malenko & Ultimo Dragon

Two technical legends, two cruiserweight titans, two legends of the biz. It is not a surprise that Ultimo Dragon and Dean Malenko put up some really great matches whenever they met, though many are forgotten when reminiscing about WCW today.

This might be because both came to WWE and failed to catch on, but don't let that take away from the fact that their matches were pure clinics. Such was their chemistry that they even opened a few PPVs and major TV specials.

9 Vader & Sting

Sting and Vader face off

Another underrated gem of a feud involving Sting had the monstrous Vader at the other end. The latter was known to be a stiff worker, separating the men from the boys and ensuring faces gained much credibility after their battles with him.

Vader had run through quite a few babyfaces by the time he matched up with Sting, and the two had some absolute barnburners, bringing out the best in each other. The Mastodon even injured The Stinger during one of their earlier bouts, but that didn't stop them from drawing some great moments between them.

8 Saturn & Raven

Raven's Flock was an underrated storyline in itself, with the charismatic leader doing a great job keeping them relevant in the midcard. The newly-joined Saturn, who had left behind his successful ECW tag team, The Eliminators, with John Kronus, for a shot at singles success in WCW, was one of the performers to feud with the pack.

Initially joining The Flock as a sidekick, Saturn became the first wrestler to break free of the cult-like group. He and Raven then feuded over a series of overlooked gems, and with Saturn coming out on top and helping disband The Flock, he was a made man in the midcard.

7 Best Of Seven

WCW, at one point, had a deeper and more talented roster than WWE, and they flaunted it like nobody else. Such was the depth of performers that the company could organize a best of seven series between two wrestlers just to win a challenge for the Television Title.

The wrestlers involved were Booker T and Chris Benoit, who put on quite a few excellent matches for fans. It not only established them as future talents but also showed the level of talent available for the promotion.

5 DDP & Macho Man

Diamond Dallas Page pinning Macho Man Randy Savage

Diamond Dallas Page was already an uber-popular face when he was given an opportunity by the nWo to join the faction, However, in a moment that made him one of WCW’s biggest stars, DDP hit a Diamond Cutter on Scot Hall, rejecting the offer and kicking off a feud with them.

This is what produces a series of tremendous bouts between DDP and Randy Savage, then a member of the renegade stable. The latter was the perfect springboard for Page to win over any remaining critics and go on to face the likes of Hollywood Hogan.

4 Juventud Guerrera & Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho is definitely one of the best cruiserweights ever, and his run in the division showed the world he was a future world champion in the making. His feuds with the likes of Dean Malenko, Rey Mysterio, and Eddie Gurrero are well-remembered, but he also had a fine feud with Juventud Guerrera.

Juventud was perhaps the most over luchador after Mysterio, so his series with a heel Jericho made lots of sense. The latter wanted to unmask Juventud, and after a series of matches led to this outcome, the Canadian was an even more hated wrestler, so there were winners all around.

3 Steve Austin & Ricky Steamboat

Ricky Steamboat vs Steve Austin

This is an example of two legendary wrestlers meeting at the wrong time. Steve Austin and Ricky Steamboat feuded for months over the United States Championship, and it was special to see The Dragon work with the upstart.

While Austin was never used well in WCW, he also ensured to give it his best during matches. What resulted was a spate of classics that have flown under the radar for years, and it can be argued that the future Rattlesnake had the best pure wrestling matches of his career against Steamboat.

1 Mortis & Glacier

Mortis and Wrath vs Glacier and Ernest Miller

Rounding off this list is an unexpected entry, understandably because of the terrible gimmicks the performers were saddled with. But let that not take away from the fact that both Chris Kanyon (Mortis) and Raymond M. Lloyd (Glacier) were talented wrestlers.

Eric Bischoff's 'masterstroke' to create characters inspired by the popular Mortal Kombat video games gave birth to these two gimmicks. And while they will never be known as successful gimmicks, the performers did put on some solid bouts whenever they faced each other in the undercard.
