PrinceWatercress plays WWF Royal Rumble (Super NES/Genesis) - Part 15 of 16


And now for some more first-half 1993 feuds!

We got a few more feuds from the first half of 1993.

The first one I do is Yokozuna and Bret Hart...the one that lasted about a whole year! Yokozuna would be the one to take the WWF Championship from Bret at WrestleMania 9 (and subsequently lose it to Hulk Hogan before taking it back at King of the Ring). It would be a whole year until Bret would take the title back at WrestleMania 10 in 1994, and at that point, Yokozuna would never be in the main event picture again (though he would win the tag team titles with Owen Hart).

The other one I do is "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. Mr. Perfect, which ended on the third-ever episode of Raw. When Mr. Perfect's back went out, he could not team with Flair at Survivor Series 1992. When The Ultimate Warrior got himself fired a second time due to steroid use, WWE decided to turn Mr. Perfect into a good guy and have him team with "Macho Man" Randy Savage, having him turn against Flair and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Savage and Perfect would win by disqualification, and Perfect and Flair would continue to feud until the beginning of 1993, with the feud ending in a "Loser Leaves WWF" match that Perfect won. This was due to Flair wanting to go back to World Championship Wrestling, which he did.
