#4 WWE vs WCW
From the fall of 1995 until the spring of 2001, WWE went head-to-head with Ted Turner and Eric Bischoff's WCW every Monday night. It was the first and only time that WWE faced such a stiff competition from other wrestling promotions. WCW did not start strong, but with wrestlers like Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Lex Luger, and Roddy Piper, they began to turn the ratings in their favour by the summer of 1996. they even took some of the established wrestlers from WWE.
WWE tried to keep up with them with stars like Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and Bret Hart and then later introduced the new talents like Triple H, Mankind, The Rock, and Kane. These years proved very hectic to Vince as at times it looked like they might lose to Turner. WWE won in the end but fans enjoyed that period as the golden age of wrestling and people still talks about it.
