Rock vs Austin: I was for sure with The Rock because I pretty much hated Austin.
Hogan vs Savage: I was very young, but was with Savage because he just seemed "cooler".
WCW vs nWo: I was with WCW, but in the kind of way that I thought the nWo was still completely awesome.... but I felt that they still had to be ultimately defeated, and so I was with WCW, waiting to see the inevitable victory over the nWo. Which... uhh... never really happened.
Bret vs HBK: I was of course with Bret Hart. Used to really not care for HBK, because he just seemed like too much of a dick.
Benoit vs Angle: I was with Kurt Angle just because. Though I just sat back and enjoyed both for the most part.
Triple H vs Foley: I was with Triple H because this was around the time he was gaining massive steam as a heel and I marked out at every feat of bad-assery.
E&C vs Dudleys vs Hardys: I was with Christian and Edge all the way.
Sting vs Flair: Never seen it.

Rock vs. Austin- The Rock (though I always cheered for Austin as well I have always liked Rock a little bit better)
Hogan vs. Savage- Hogan (though I always supported Savage as well just because he is one of the all time greats in the ring and a larger than life character but I guess in terms of larger than life characters Hogan would fit that bill. I have always supported Hogan and am one of the few that has always liked him, especially Hollywood Hogan. One thing is for sure Hogan is probably the greatest face and heel of all time. Now that is just my opinion but I think it holds merit)
WCW vs. nWo- I would pick both in this instance as Sting is my all time favorite and I cheered for him against the nWo and my favorite faction is the Wolfpack when it was Sting, Nash, Savage, Luger and Konnan so in that instance I'd say WCW, but when the nWo first started and when Bret Hart took over briefly I would say nWo.
Bret vs. HBK- Bret Hart easily (I like HBK, but I like his 02-10 run better than his 90s run as I think he is a vastly different person than he was then. His personality changed for the better and his matches were alot better during this run. Bret is my second favorite of all time after Sting and I have always thought he was the greatest ring general...until Kurt Angle came along and gave him a run for his money. I wish we could have gotten to see that match at some point.)
Benoit vs. Angle- Kurt Angle hands down (I always liked Benoit and thought he was one of the most solid competitors in the history of wrestling, but Angle has everything you need to succeed and I think he's the best wrestler today as well.)
Triple H vs. Foley- Triple H who is one of the most solid and complete wrestlers of all time. He is phenomenal in the ring and one of my all time favorites. If it weren't for Foley though, HHH wouldn't have gotten to that believable main event level so you have to give it to Foley who is a master at putting over people and a class act in every way.
E&C vs. Hardys vs. Dudleys- E&C (Yes I liked the Hardys, but mostly just Jeff. I have always liked both Edge and Christian. I've never really liked matt hardy. The Hardy Boyz did have Lita which is one thing that I liked. The steel cage match they had at Unforgiven was awesome and is still a favorite of mine. )
Sting vs. Flair- Sting

There's nothing to laugh about. The Dudleys are one of the best teams of all time and they had great matches with both teams but I feel they had better chemistry with the Hardys, especially the tables match at Royal Rumble 2000, the steel cage match at Survivor Series 2001 etc.

Rock vs Austin - I was a Rock mark after "Die Rocky Die"
Hogan vs Savage - I didn't appreciate Savage as much. Seemed like he "wanted to be Hogan". I know better now, but still, back then...
WCW vs nWo - before it got stupid and overbloated, nWo was the pinnacle of "cool heels"
Bret vs HBK- I liked Bret better
Benoit vs Angle - I cheered the guy who was only given the WCW title so he wouldn't jump ship, then they took it from him. He wasn't really getting the respect his talent deserved. Angle was already there.
Triple H vs Foley - One of those instances of "Hunter Overload". Also, he may have not been technical gold, but Foley could both bump his ass off and tell a story in the ring while doing so.
E&C vs Dudleys vs Hardys - I will not lie, I loved the whole feud. Also, all 3 were instrumental in the formation of TLC.
Sting vs Flair - I was little, Sting was face, Flair was heel. Anymore, I don't care. I'd still watch those two. It's one of those symbolic feuds. Sting is no Steamboat, but if you mention NWA/WCW you'll hear about nWo, the clusterfuck at the end of their existance, and Sting v. Flair.

Rock vs Austin --- Stone Cold
Hogan vs Savage --- Was too young to fully appreciate the feud but was a Hogan fan as a kid.
WCW vs nWo --- Favored nWo at the beginning but switched once they got too big and had too much power in WCW.
Bret vs HBK --- HBK although this feud was great as a Dx vs Hart Foundation and USA vs Canada mini-feuds.
Benoit vs Angle --- Benoit
Triple H vs Foley --- Foley
E&C vs Dudleys vs Hardys --- E&C
Sting vs Flair --- Never really followed this one but was a Flair fan by the time they had the last match on WCW Nitro.
