I started watching wrestling as a hobby in late 1999. I never was too much into it before, so I might be biased towards the attitude era/ruthless aggression. My top 10 in order:
1 Steve Austin - He's the reason why I became a fan. Don't take no crap from anyone attitude.
2 Mick Foley - He can absorb so much punishment and give you a 101%!
3 Kane - Reminds me of Michael Myers, scary big dude.
4 Undertaker - Big guy, great gimmick and real athletic. You know he'll have a good match.
5 Chris Jericho - Great on the microphone and very athletic. Best entrance theme.
6 Shawn Michaels - The showstopper, the main event, mr. Wrestlemania, the whole package!
7 Jeff Hardy - Death defying entertaining performer. Has an awesome look.
8 Kurt Angle - Great all around wrestler, hard worker, and entertaining.
9 Lita - best all around in ring women's wrestler. Great look and entrance theme.
10 Bret Hart - Great technical wrestler and hard worker in the ring.

1. Dean Ambrose - Just seeing how far he have come and what he has had to gone through is the reason I even get up in the morning. I love Dean Ambrose, the wrestler. I respect Jonathan Good, the person.
2. Brock Lesnar - Craziest athelete I've ever seen. Love his explosiveness.
3. Chris Jericho - Best in the world at what he does. Safe worker with a great sence of humor.
4. Undertaker - The greatest wrestler of all time. Goosebumps everytime I see him.
5. Shawn Michaels - Second best after Taker, one of few wrestler I just get happy by hearing his theme.
6. Mick Foley - Proving that you can achieve anything. Nicest guy in wrestling.
7. Stone Cold - He's Stone Cold, do I need to say more?
8. Edge - Just fun to see in the ring, great theme and entrance adds up too.
9. Hulk Hogan - The reason I found wrestling. The most legendary of legends.
10. The Rock - Very entertaining guy with great inring skills. Really makes you happy much like HBK just by hearing his theme.

We just had this thread, and this is VERY hard to make but I'll give it a go.
1. Jeff Hardy - This man is my inspiration, my everything. Not to sound creepy, but he's had such a huge impact on my life it's ridiculous, I really wish to meet him one day.
2. Raven - I just love Raven, I first saw him in WWF, and thought he was just so badass in TNA. Love his promos and style.
3. Matt Hardy - Can't have the Hardy Boyz without Matt. Severely underrated.
4. Christian - I always loved Christian, his work in TNA is just something that transcends the word phenomenal. I loved him in WWE as well and still do.
5. AJ Styles - I had no idea who this guy was until I started watching TNA, but his matches just captivated me even at a young age. I have huge amounts of nostalgia with AJ.
6. Chris Jericho - He was my favorite for a very long time as a kid. I thought he was just hilarious and his matches great and exciting.
7. Goldust - I thought he was just a total badass and thought it was awesome that he wasn't afraid to be himself. And he was funny.
8. Road Dogg - I used to rent WWF tapes around 2000/2001 and I just loved the Road Dogg. He was so charismatic and he was a lot of fun to watch.
9. Brock Lesnar - This dude was such a beast! I dreamed of being as awesome as him as a kid.
10. Kurt Angle - Another one of my favorites growing up, dude is a machine.
Sure some of them aren't the best, but they entertained me so much and that's all that matters to me.
Guys that are growing on me really fast
Daniel Bryan
Ambrose
Rollins
Cesaro
They may make the list one day.

1. Bret Hart. Not the best on the mic, (although underrated when you consider his WCW heel stuff was pretty good), but the best mat wrestler ever. Great look and immensely captivating. You loved rooting for him, or against him. Brilliant in-ring acting--showing how it hurt. Very imaginative.
2. Jerry Lynn. Daniel Bryan before there was a Daniel Bryan (in many ways). RVD's greatest rival. Great technically. High-flying. Amazing sequences. The best damn wrestler over the last 15-20 years, that casual fans don't know existed. The best enhancement guy ever?
3. Macho Man. Arguably the greatest of all time. No weakness in his game. He could have the "big" match or the very precise grapple-fest. Amazing look. Amazing mic skills. Great heel. Great face. Made the Warrior look like he knew what he was doing.
4.Chris Jericho. I view him as Shawn Michaels' and Bret Hart's love child. Shawn's charisma and Bret's skill and storytelling. Maybe the best mic worker of his era (the best in WCW), but even more natural than the Rock (not as funny and no catch phrases).
5. Undertaker. Possibly the greatest gimmick of all time. Great in-ring leadership. Great methodology. Serious longevity. The best big man of all time.. for the fact that he could have a great match with anyone.
6. Mick Foley. A better wrestler than has ever gotten credit. Best villain 'Taker ever had. Multiple great gimmicks. Put so much of himself on the line. Good on the mic.
7. Stone Cold. Not sure I need to list why.
8. RVD. All the tools you need. Decent mic work. Great ring technician. Made wrestling look painful (even when it wasn't). Unique matches. Slightly tainted by Bill Alfozo's stupid whistle ruining most of his ECW matches, lol. Innovative.
9. Tajiri. Amazing move set. Unrecognized for his innovation.
10. DDP. Good on the mic. Fun look. Great face; captivating the imagination of the lame WCW fan's. Randy Orton should shake his hand for how DDP made the cutter more innovative than it had been. (Admittedly Orton took it farther).
Honorable mentions: Daniel Bryan, Mr. Perfect, HBK, Roddy Piper, The Rock

Bret Hart - was a fan of WWF, Bret made me obsessed!
Mr. Perfect - don't think I ever watched him have a bad match
Christian - always the underdog but super entertaining as a heel, enjoyed his IC runs the most
CM Punk - only guy in modern day wrestling to grasp my attention for years. Much respect that he is sXe as well.
Eddie Guerrero - was a late Eddie fan, always knew he was awesome on the mic, but it was in 03-04 that I really paid attention to how good he was
Ted DiBiase - the ultimate heel. Would have been really fun to have seen him as WWF Champ
Rick Martel - like DiBiase, thought the Model character had a lot of potential.
The Rock - very very entertaining, til it got cheesy and corny after 1999.
Bam Bam Bigelow - what an athlete for a big big man!
Owen Hart - Really entertaining especially in 94 and 97 onwards. Owen 3:16 I Just Broke Your Neck!

Chris Jericho - Probably my favorite all around wrestler. Great in the ring, amazing on the mic. Memorable stuff like his WWE debut, the man of 1,004 holds, the conspiracy theory victim & his post 2007 return gimmick are all awesome
Edge - The only guy that I can honestly say who's entire career I watched. At least the WWE stuff. From 1998 when he had no real idea of his character, to the Brood, to Edge & Christian, to his singles run on Smackdown to the Rated R Superstar; Edge was always one of my favorites
Daniel Bryan - I've been a huge Bryan Danielson/Daniel Bryan fan since his ROH World Title run. He has consistently put on some of the best matches I've ever seen and I literally have never seen him have a bad match
AJ Styles - I was big on TNA when I first discovered it in 2005 and the first Pay-Per-View of theirs that I ever watched was Unbreakable 2005. With that incredible triple threat main event I was hooked on AJ Styles. The company may have disappointed me heavily, but I always loved AJ Styles
CM Punk - Nearly everything about CM Punk is awesome in my opinion. The straight edge lifestyle, the fantastic in-ring work, the promos, and the fact that he made it to the top as himself is phenomenal. Had the best WWE Title reign that I can remember, hands down
Seth Rollins - Another guy that I've loved since ROH days when he was Tyler Black. He quickly became one of my favorites there and when he signed with the WWE, I worried for his career. However, he joined the Shield and is one of my favorite reasons to watch WWE
Bret Hart - The first wrestler that I was ever a fan of. Being born in 1990, the earliest memories that I have are of the Hogan era, however, it wasn't until Bret was on top that I really got into wrestling and he was my guy. Always a hard worker and always had some of the best matches
Shawn Michaels - Used to hate this guy after the Montreal Screwjob, which was stupid and pointless. I obviously got over it and he won me over with his post 2002 return where he could pretty much do no wrong in the ring. Just went back and watched his 1996 title run and it was awesome
Rob Van Dam - During his Television Title run in ECW, Rob Van Dam was nearly all I cared about, besides Steve Austin. I have a home video of Christmas in 2000 I believe and I continually do the RVD taunt into the camera throughout the entire tape
Steve Austin - Obviously the biggest thing during the Attitude Era, Austin was the coolest. I had so many of his shirts and watched everything he did and I was hooked every week. Now that I'm older I can appreciate the wrestler but the character was so tremendous
Honorable Mentions: Owen Hart, Christian, Goldust, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, Mr. Perfect, "Hollywood" Rock, Eddie Guerrero & Chris Benoit
