For me without a doubt it would be Hulk Hogan as the atmosphere would have been unreal.

I've actually never seen Hogan or Rock live. I went to my first live event in late '02. And the biggest chance I missed was Vengeance in 2002 where Rock and Hogan appeared.

I actually have a match I wish I could have seen. It was Andre The Giant versus Hulk Hogan. What an awesome experience that would have been

I've seen basically every wrestler that's been in the WWE since I started watching (I go to EVERY show) So I've seen quite a few...but if I had to pick ONE, it's the Dynamite Kid.
Marty Jannetty and Owen Hart.

Either Mick "HARDCORE F***ING" Foley or Bret "Outwrestle your punk ass on any given day" Hart.

Definitely Mick Foley, Hulk Hogan, and Sting (circa late '96 to end of '97).
I'd really like to witness a good Hell in a Cell match in person as well.

Ric Flair in the late 80s......just about every other match of his back then went 60 minutes.
I've had the oppurtunity to see Hart and I'll tell all of you who haven't seen him........he was fucking awesome.
I saw Hogan in 2002 in at the MCI Center(in Washinfton DC, I live abotu an hour away and I plan to go to Summerslam this year, unless I have to move into college before then) and the atmosphere was electric. Same for Taker.

Bret Hart and Undertaker. I've been to acouple of WWE shows in the past couple of years and yet, Undertaker never comes out. Even though he isn't as exciting as before, I just wanna witness his entrance once.
I've seen Bret live twice. Once at a house show (against Sid in a cage) and another at SummerSlam 97 (against Taker), where he won his 5th and final WWF championship. I didn't realize it at the time (even after the screwjob), but that was an historic moment, especially what happened a few months later.
Anyway, the one person I wish I can see live is Hogan. I've missed him a few times. Especially when the fucker went on hiatus in 2002, I went to SummerSlam and Survivor Series that year. If I had gone to the fucking supershow Monday I could have seen him. BASTARD! :foc:

You mean alot of you guys never got to see Bret wrestle live? I feel so privileged to have been able to witness the Hitman excellently execute Bam Bam Bigelow, Diesel, Undertaker, Randy Savage(WCW), and Roddy Piper(WCW).
I would have also liked to have seen a WCW event live. As shitty as they got, I would have gone if I could have.

I've pretty much seen all the ones I wanted to see live: Hogan, Rock, Bret, Owen, Perfect, Taker, Stone Cold....but Andre would be awsome if it were possible.

In my entire life, this is definately one of the top five easiest questions to answer.

The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.
The only famous wrestlers I got to see live were The Godfather, Vincent (nWo), Public Enemy (RIP Rocco Rock), Dan "The Beast" Severn, and whoever played Doink in 2000.

Bret Hart, no competition there. Fortunately, I did get to see Owen before he passed.
1 for 3 ain't bad, right?

Scott Hall, honestly.
Bret's probably a close second, come to think of it. I've seen Hulk. He's the man.

Wow, much like Redoneja I suddenly feel privilaged that I had the chance to see Bret.
The first time I saw him was at a house show at the now demolished USair arena, back in 96. It was just a bit before WM12 and there was a sort of three-way match between Bret, Diesel, and The Undertaker. It worked a little differently though. Basically two guys started out (Bret and Undertaker) and whoever lost got to face Diesel next. On paper, the match could of gone on for awhile, like Undertaker could of beat Bret, lost to Diesel, at which point Diesel and Bret would of gone at it, Bret could of then beat Diesel and had to of faced the Undertaker again. You had to beat both other wrestlers, to put it simply.
It was cool though, during Undertaker vs Bret, Diesel came out early and hit Undertaker with a chair outside the ring, which caused the Undertaker to be counted out. Diesel and Bret started going at it and the Undertaker took his sweet ass time getting up. There was a ref bump and the undertaker got in the ring, hit the tombstone on Diesel, revived the ref, and Bret got the three count and won the match.
The next time I saw him was at Starcade 97, which he didn't actually wrestle at, but of course I did get to see the culmination of the NwO angle in Sting vs Hogan. Talk about electricity in the air.
Who would I have liked to of seen? The Rock. Everytime the WWF came to town during the time he was huge, I had to work or couldn't exactly afford to go at that moment.

Either Rock, Hogan, or Tazz.
I've seen HBK, Bret and Owen Hart, Raven, RVD, Christian, Jericho, Davey Boy Smith, and UT (and Waylon Mercy!), so it's probably those three at the top of the list.
Andre The Giant - To marvel at the man's size
Rob Van Dam in ECW - Because the crowd always got the hottest for his matches
Hulk Hogan - For the atmosphere
David Arquette - To boo that son of a bitch back to straight-to-video movies

I've seen pretty much everyone :(
If I could though, I'd say Sammartino from any point in his career. I've met him, and I've seen his work before, but it'd have been awesome to see him live and doing what he does best :y:

I've seen a lot. Bret, Rock, Andre, Macho
There is nothing like seeing hogan and taker live though. The atmosphere is indescribable.
Never saw the Ultimate Warrior though. That would have been cool.

I've seen Hulk Hogan live when he was Mr America.
It was boring.

Seconded. Tom Billington would have been a joy to watch.

Nope, you saw Mr America not Hulk Hogan :shifty: . When Hogan comes out in the red and yellow it's a totally different atmosphere crowd reaction wise.

Bret Hart no doubt about it.
I was lucky enough to see Owen live, in fact when he was driving into the arena he looked at me.
I also would have liked to Randy Savege and Mr. Perfect.
I seen Mr. Perfect but it was in that stupid 6 man tag that started off WMX8, as soon I heard his music I lost it.

it's the same elderly orange goblin. He'd still be boring.
I marked out more for Spanky than I did for Hogan. I marked out more for Stevie Richards.
