There haven't been many good ones since 2008-2009, but which feuds were the best?

Punk and Jericho this year was pretty good, and Punk vs WWE in 2011 was what it was. There are people out there who liked Orton vs Christian, and there was the 2009 Cena vs Orton feud that was awesome despite it going on way too long. Cena vs Nexus may have piqued your interest, Edge vs Jericho, Cena vs Batista, Mark Henry vs Big Show, maybe something in the mid-card?

As for me, 2009 CM Punk vs Jeff Hardy. Punk didn't need MITB, that feud made him a main-eventer and a half.

The best feud of the PG era has been Punk vs WWE. It was the only feud that really had people invested in it and I think that was because nobody really knew what was going to happen because CM Punk's contract really did expire...or so they say. The only things that went wrong with the feud is that CM Punk came back way to quickly. He came back two weeks after leaving. I think he came back later that would have been a little better, added more hype to that story. Another thing that went wrong was Triple H killing it. I understand that all storylines can't go on forever, but Nexus lasted about a year, why couldn't Punk's storyline, it was better? Punk's storyline got people talking about WWE again, old fans started watching again. I think that it was a huge mistake by creative. The other part to the failure was Triple H being the one to do it. Triple H is a guy who only comes in and out of wrestling. When you have someone who's not full time beating a guy who's just taking off it does nothing for the future. Cm Punk could have been such a bigger star if Triple H just put him over and perhaps had a rematch, then beat Punk.:pity:

CM Punk VS Jeff Hardy from 2009
Best feud I have seen in years. I was sad that Jeff lost at SummerSlam. I never got why Jeff couldn't win that and then CM Punk come out on Smackdown saying he wanted a rematch and then both their contracts got put on the line then taker comes out and takes out punk.

I see this posted often but I'm baffled by it. I don't see why a superstar who is leaving the company (or more so being chucked out) needs to leave on a win, when you have one of the best heels in the company feuding with him. It only makes sense imo to have Punk go over a top face and "retire" him to further push his heel persona.

But if they had Hardy win at SS (which he deserved a big win at a top PPV) and then Punk still could have took his title and retired him the following Smackdown.

Still makes zero sense to me.

Bumping this for a good old Cena vs Punk mention.
