No. Albion never gave Wolves a second thought until about 1990.

Around the time, completely coincidentally, when they couldn’t get anywhere near us, by any chance?

Haha.

It depends which Rules you're talking about I think. Sheffield FC and Hallam played under the Sheffield Rules before changing to FA rules later...

Actually in terms of "local" proximity the Hawthorns is a lot closer to Villa Park than to Molineux as well, so more of a local rivalry should exist.
