i was and still kinda a hulkamaniac, think he's past it now but back in the mid 80's when i frst saw him i was in awe of him, i know he's an easy option nut he was the man!
i always liked ultimate warrior, randy savage (oooo yeaaahhh - sorry couldnt resist), bret hart and HBK but am sick of HBK/HHH fued its tedious now.

Hulk until Undertaker beat him at Survivor Series in '91. ('91 right?) Then I've been a Taker fan since then.

<font color=goldenrod>Goldberg. He was my first favorite when I started watching in late '98.</font>
Undertaker was my first favouritre. Taker was my favourite until Jericho came to the WWE and he has been my favourite from then to now.

My first favorite wrestler was a neck and neck tie between Sting and "Flyin'" Brian Pillman, they still remain my two favorite wrestlers of all time today... If I were forced to pick between the two of them I'd have to say that my favorite was "Flyin'" Brian Pillman for three major reasons...
1. Pillman was the reason I became a Cincinnati Bengals fan even though I live in New York, for those of you that don't know Pillman played breifly for the Bengals.
2. Pillman was able to play both sides, heel and face, extremely well where as Sting was a great face, but never a realistic heel.
3. Pillman was more of an underdog then Sting, and you gotta love the underdogs.

Chris Jericho without a doubt... but HHH and HBK are tied at second...

Loose Cannon

Warrior was my first favorite. I loved the guy and the energy he brought with him everytime he went out there. He would demolish all his oponents. His music kicked ass to.
Hogan when he was in the nWo was my FIRST favorite... Still kinda am a Hogan fan...
My first WWE favorite was, and still is up there in the top 3, without a shadow of a doubt... Stone Cold... I am such a mark for Austin... OH HELL YEAH :D

Hogan had to be the first wrestler that I ever rooted for. I have a picture of me when I was a little kid where I got a little wrestling ring with a cage around it and some Hogan figures. Then I also got a Hogan Training set which came with a hulkamaniac head band and some fake weights to it. I also had the Hulk Hogan bear. I had posters and even a camera that when you took a picture it put a small one of Hulk posing in the bottom right hand corner. Damn Hogan is the man.

People would say that the snake was fake. it went from being a fake rubber snake, then people said it was a robot.

This was back when he was with the Rockers, their AWA match with Rose and Summers hooked me.

I started watching wrestling when I was about 10, and at the time my favorite wrestler was STING. This was the "surfer-dude" type sting, complete with the neon face, spiky blond hair, and the STINGER SPLASH!
Hulkamania Brotherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I even have a Hulk Hogan workout set, complete with wrestbands, headbands, skipping rope, and 5 lb. dumbells :lol:

Dean Malenko. Mainly because he was involved in the awesomeness that was the Jericho/Malenko feud. I marked out F-ing huge when he became a Horseman.

Kevin Nash. My First fav was Definitly Kevin Nash. I was 13 I think, and the seriously only reason I got into Wrestling was to have something in common with my looser of a father. But, Kevin Nash definitly...Hogan...he scared me.

Originally it was Big Daddy from World of Sport in the UK. (I was about 6!)
Then after that I would have to say I never really had another favourite until Austin took off in the late 90's.
In the last couple of years, Jamie Noble and Rob Van Dam.

Always has been and always will be Bret Hart. Ditto. I started watching wrestling around early 93, mainly because of Bret Hart.

My 2 favs were always Jake Roberts & Rick Rude, they were 2 guys who could really make you believe what they said when they cut a promo. I really got into the feud that they had :D. Now, I'd say Jericho & Molly.
