1. The Undertaker, the first time I saw him he scared me ****less (I was 3 & he was doing the Ministry gimmick) but at the same time he intrigued me. There was something about him that was just....cool for lack of a better word.
2. A tie between Sting & Steve Austin: Sting's face paint and his whole gimmick made me take notice, he was WCW's answer to 'Taker to me & I liked that. Austin...the first time I saw him was also the first WWF show I ever saw (Jan. 4th '99 episode of RAW) and he was just awesome & I'll never forget that pop he got that night.
3. Chris Jericho, he was funny as hell in WCW, and I loved his WWF debut because he interrupted The Rock who I absolutely hated so that made me like him even more.

Post by Tyler Black on Mar 5, 2015 8:34:24 GMT -5
1.The Hardy Boyz. I was just a little kid during the amazing TLC matches but I loved the hardyz and HATED E&C and the Dudleys. I couldn't tell you why I just connected with them, Jeff more so than Matt. My earliest wrestling memories are of the Wrestlemania 2000 triangular ladder match and the Rumble match with the Dudleys. I remember Jeffs crazy swantons from both matches.
2. Tyler Black/Seth Rollins. In 2010 I had stopped following WWE closely by 2008, TNA who I had been in love with from 05-08 had a just okay 2009, and 2010 which started good was quickly going south. Then I found ROH on HDNet, and while there was a bunch of guys l really enjoyed, like the KoW, the American wolves, the All Night Express, steen, generico, Aries, there was one guy I really connected with, Tyler Black. I hadn't felt that type of connection to a wrestler since Jeff when I was a kid. When he finally won the world title I couldn't be happier. He saved wrestling for me, and I was so excited when he signed his WWE contract.
3. CM Punk Fast forward to late 2011, going into 2012, ROH is off HDNet and on Sinclair, which we don't get in NYC. I have no way to watch ROH, TNA is in the gutter, WWE is just starting to turn things around for me, and CM Punk delivers the pipe bomb and goes on that amazing summer of punk II/434 day long title reign. Made me a massive WWE Fan again.
Way too many honorable mentions so I'll just leave them off

I want to be "that guy" and list guys who are just fantasic in the ring all in my top three. But I can't do that. I've got to go with the guys who got me the most invested and made me love this crazy thing called wrestling.
1. Jerry Lawler
Yes, The King, or as we called him pre-WWF/E "King" Jerry Lawler. This man was my Hulk Hogan. My hero as a kid. He was a guy who transcended good guy/bad guy for me. It really didn't matter what he was doing. No matter what role he played, he was must see for me.
2. Shawn Michaels
When I hit my pre-teens it was all about HBK. To this day the Iron Man match is one of my favorie matches, despite many of you seeing it as a boring match. Yes, maybe they could have done more, but for me, I'll always remember how eastatic I was to see his first title win at 11, almost 12 years old.
3. CM Punk
I know many of you will probably scoff at my third choice. But the reason I picked him is because in 2011 he made wrestling fun for me again. He was must see, just like Lawler and HBK had been for me and during his matches, I'd find myself truly suspending any part of me who wanted to be "arm-chair booker" I didn't care who this man was against, or where the story could go, I just wanted him to win. During his match with Cena and Night of Champions, I was on the edge of my seat and felt like I was 5 years old again.

Kane: Loved the character from when I was a kid and always liked him, loyal and a strong worker for the company.
CM Punk: Awesome in ring and on mic, edgy controversial character, not afraid to speak his mind.
Edge: Always his enjoyed him since his tag days, nice to see his rise up the card...always has good matches
Honorables: Benoit would be #2 if he hadn't done what he done, Austin, Orton, Taker would be others and the likes of Ziggler, Bryan, Ambrose and Rollins would be in my current faves

John cena: hes pretty much the reason i started watching wrestling, when I was like 8 and I had watched wrestling here and their with my grandma and uncles and dad, but never really was into it, then found out about cena and dint know why but I wanted a card of him so i started buying packs of the current sieiries at the time ( heritage 4) and then me and my dad wer looking at them and he looked at the clock and hey this is on right now so he flipped the channel to USA and the very first match i watched ( like watched and really got into ) was cena vs. big show.
Shawn michels: i enjoyed him pre wrestlemania25 ( when i first got into wrestling ) but then DX coming back really made me the fan of him i am now
Jeff hardy: I liked jeff and what made me put him as third was summerslam 2009 the first ppv i watched live and we ordered it mainly for 3 matches cena vs orton dx vs legacy and punk vs jeff and i still like high flying but now people dont take as much risk as he did so to a 8 year old kid that was the coolest thing in the world seeing him do front flips of ladders and i still thing it's really cool

1. Shawn Michaels - Just the GOAT for me. Started really watching WWF in 94 and he was the guy that really sucked me in immediately along with Owen, Razor and Diesel by default. His run in 97 was absolutely incredible and his return match at SummerSlam 2002 was the most emotionally invested I've been for any match ever. Everything I ever needed out of pro wrestling, Shawn delivered on.
2. CM Punk - He reminds me of so many guys but he's wildly unique. There are only two guys in the GOAT talker category for me and they are Punk and Piper. Punk is the total package though and has fired off some of his best matches with all the top current era talent in Rey, Jeff Hardy, Cena, Orton, Taker, HHH, Jericho and Brock. I think he probably got the best match out of "return" Rock as well at EC, and hell his match with Vince was awesome. He's truly the outcast, the anti authority and for me he's been the silver lining I needed as a fan during the John Cena era.
3. Seth Rollins - This is obviously still an ongoing saga, but Tyler Black was the first guy I ever looked at and said "that guy is going to main event WrestleMania some day." Jury is still out, I guess, but the first time I saw him on MTV in 2007 I was hooked. I've followed his career ever since, fought with people in 2010 when he finally became ROH Champion, and was there the very first time he stepped into a ring in FCW for WWE. I watch WWE for Seth Rollins. He's the only guy that is can't miss TV for me on the main roster right now. For me, he's the best worker in the company and his entire journey since turning on the Shield has been one of my favorite stretches for a character ever. HBK 97-98, CM Punk 09-10, and Seth Rollins 14-15.
Honorable mentions:
Sting Ultimate Warrior Raven Mr. Perfect Macho Man Kevin Nash Dolph Ziggler Owen Hart Roddy Piper Scott Steiner Bobby Heenan Edge Jericho HHH Scott Hall
MCMG, AJ Styles, A Double, Bobby Roode, and Chris Hero would all be on this list as well if we're talking big picture. Finn Balor if we're talking whole body of work. So many guys I just genuinely enjoy.

The Rock (Pretty much the reason I got into WWF in 1999. Most charisma of any superstar, all time)
Jeff Hardy (First wrestler besides Rocky I really 'fell for'. Man crush. Hardcore. His spots and huge match moments were everything, epitome of show-stealer)
The Hurricane (Over-the-top, humorous, entertaining. Love him in WCW as Sugar Shane Helms, even more when he came in the Invasion and was golden in whatever role they put him in whether comedic, Tag Team or CW champ. Even loved him as Gregory Helms & his return to ECW as Hurricane)

1 and 2. Sting and Flair. My first match I remember watching on TV was a Sting vs. Ric Flair match at Clash of the Champions XXVII. Sherri was dressed in Sting gear so I assumed she was with Sting. The match was incredible and cemented Sting as my all time favorite, and Flair as my all time favorite villain. At the time, I thought he convinced Sherri to leave Sting, and I thought that was just dastardly. Ever since then, the feuds between Flair and Sting connected me to wrestling.
3. Goldberg - When I started watching wrestling all the way through high school when I started to realize wrestling was scripted, Goldberg was the first wrestler to make me think I was wrong. I remember watching his debut and thinking "can't wait for Morrus to finish this so we can get on with Nitro." Then, the guy kicks out, and proceeds to destroy Hugh Morrus. At that point, I began to think "Wait, this guy had no entrance. He was supposed to lose. What happened?" After that, his aura and presence just drew me in, and I became a big fan.
I have a WCW Title Belt (Big Gold Belt). I have Goldberg's signature on it. While I was hoping to get all of the WCW World Heavyweight Title Holders to sign it, if I could just get Sting and Ric Flair to sign it, I'd have what I consider to be the ultimate score.
Honorable Mention (No Order): Savage, Brad Armstrong, Rey Mysterio, Buff Bagwell, Kanyon, DDP, AJ Styles, Daniels, Samoa Joe.
