WWF Feuds 1980-2011

In preparation for my book, I was doing a trial run on some stats. One I was looking at was "feuds". Basically, if two people had a match (tag or singles or 4-way or 3-way or whatever) and they weren't on the same "team" (which was basically either team A or team B - so it's not perfect, especially for 3-ways/4-way/multi-tag match/etc.), I considered that a feud. These are based on The History of WWE results but it's light on 80's results for house shows, and there is a strong possibility that some matches were repeats (i.e. televised more than once so they were captured multiple times). This looks at all matches - house shows, dark matches, TV shows, PPVs, etc. In reality, I should probably weight televised matches more and PPV matches even more. But you get the idea. Because I broke up all the interactions into A vs B, you'll see tag teams being in there again and again - for instance Beverly Brothers vs Bushwhackers in 1991. In my book, I'll break out singles & tag feuds much better. 1980 Rene Goulet vs. Sika: 63 matches Afa vs. Rene Goulet: 60 matches Dominic DeNucci vs. Sika: 54 matches Afa vs. Dominic DeNucci: 51
