Ive avoided this thread because picking only 10 is daunting. I know ive had favorites at the time who as a kid seem like odd reaches today, but what the hell.

In no real order

1. George the Animal Steele - As a kid I really thought he was part Animal with how furry he was, and it was scary! Plus him arguing with the refs when he wanted to "Eat Eat" the turnbuckle, so fun!
2. Honky Tonk Man - Way before I was old enough to be aware he was a Elvis knockoff, I just thought he was the coolest bad guy, until...
3. Razor Ramon - Who was so effortlessly cool he really cemented my love for the non-scared chickenshit heels
4. Randy Savage - I was fully team Savage, and genuinely mad at Hulk Hogan for taking his title
5. Undertaker - The whole presentation was amazing, but once Bobby Heenan said of his victory "I dont believe it, that is Superfly Jimmy Snuka!", the way he said it, I knew Taker was the man.
6. Steve Austin - I started really liking him during his matches against Savio Vega. Then he started really ramping up Stone Cold and it was on.
7. The Rock - Again, that cool heel, once he came back and joined the Nation he quickly became my all time favorite.
8. Mick Foley - I never cared much for Cactus Jack, but Mankind won me over so much that every character switch after worked for me.
9. Randy Orton - From Evolution on, I just always felt he was the best, him over all the guys from his generation, although...
10. Brock Lesnar - As an adult, he is everything I would have loved as a kid. He has the most believability as an ass kicking monster you could want. Child me would have not had any fear of George the Animal Steele after seeing Brock Lesnar.

Today me would probably replace some of these with the likes of Demolition, the Dudleys, Jericho, Booker T, Kurt Angle, and RVD, but ill go with this list as is and call them honorable mentions.
