#QuestionOfTheDay name two people/groups/entities that were or could have been brilliant together if they could've just gotten along/gotten along for longer, but ultimately just couldn't get along?
This can be artists, musicians, athletes, broadcasters, etc or even politicians, companies or countries I suppose if you want to really get global, but try not to make it too abstract or too much of a reach.
An example for instance is Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels who had their best matches with each other but also hated each other and those differences eventually (partially) led to the Montreal Screwjob.

#QuestionOfTheDay what real person do you want a fictional franchise set around them as a heroic action figure ala Wong Fei Hung (Once Upon A Time In China, Drunken Master, etc) or Ip Man (Ip Man, all the other Ip Men films >_>)
