the most popular and profitable feud in wrestling history was between a wrestler and a none wrestler and they only had one official match

To be fair, Austin vs. Vince also used Mick Foley, Undertaker, The Rock, and Triple H to actually carry out the feud in the ring. There were lots of good matches that were under the Vince vs. Austin umbrella. But you're right, they need to get back to great personalities and great stories.
If workrate mattered so much, how did Mick the dick Foley get so over and become champ?
Everyone knows this, OP. Smarks complain about the lack of engaging storylines all the time. You're not telling anyone anything new mate.

Foley knew how to work. He was the straw that stirred the Attitude Era drink. He made all the top guys look better from Austin, to Rock, to Triple H, to Undertaker.

>le vince couldn't wrestle meme
Vince could do moves and he could sell, if he'd actually set his mind to it he could have been a great worker but he never booked himself in long matches
Ok let's put Vince aside and look at Austin's biggest wrestler-wrestler feuds.

Different things work for different situations at different times.
Sometimes a feud will draw because of promos and characters.
Sometimes a feud will draw because of story.
Sometimes a feud will draw because of workrate.
I'm sorry if this makes your head hurt.
