A buddy of mine posed this question to me, and it was so good, I thought I'd get everyone's opinion here.
In all of your years being a wrestling fan, who have you been a fan of the whole time through, beginning to end, no matter what evolution they go through?
For me...
Roddy Piper - The one who hooked me into watching back in 1985, at 5 years old. Started the trend of my favoring the bad guys.
Ric Flair - The coolest guy I ever saw, after discovering the NWA in 1988. Twenty years later, I was at his first WWE HOF ceremony. Once he came into the WWF and feuded with Piper, that was my jam.
Mr. Perfect - Cool, cocky, confident, and had the skills to back it up. Funny enough, I first discovered him on an episode of Super Sloppy Double Dare on FOX.
CM Punk - His skills impressed me, and his overall message of a clean lifestyle sealed the deal.
Daniel Bryan - Ever since April 9th, 2001, watching him lose in a dark match to Jerry Lynn, before my first RAW in person, in Boston.
Honorable Mention Chris Jericho - Simply too cool not to love, in my opinion.
What about you?

Undertaker and Shawn Michaels are the only ones I can think of over the past 15 years or so I've never not loved.

If we're talking just WWE:
Daniel Bryan John Cena Cesaro Brock Lesnar Dean Ambrose Seth Rollins Roman Reigns
All basically guys I liked from the moment they came in till now. I guess I'm only counting active WWE roster members.

The mains for me are Michaels and Hart. I began watching at age 9 in 96 and even at that young age I could just tell they moved better and seemed miles ahead in the ring . THey are still my two faves and always will be.
Usually it takes time for guys to grow but Punk I loved from the first ECW match he did and he remains my third all time fave.

It would be easier for me to name who I haven't always liked. I'm pretty easy to please.

I probably never not liked Bret, Jericho, RVD. There's probably others. I would have to leave someone like HBK off the list because I really didn't care for The Rockers.

Triple H: I was won over the moment I saw him defeat Kenneth Cole on wCw Saturday Night. I became a bigger fan through each incarnation of his character. Loved the Blue Blood, DX, Evolution, (Older) DX, even COO. He's always entertained me in and out of the ring.
Bret Hart: I loved The Hart Foundation. I loved his singles run. I marked out over his victory over Perfect for the IC title. I'll never forget when I found out Bret had defeated Flair for the WWE title. And I'll never forget how I could not convince my friend Seth that I wasn't lying about Bret winning it. Only to finally convince him to turn on WWE Saturday morning and hear him marking out with me.
Christian: Wasn't sure when he first came in, but I quickly was sold on him. Once he was part of E & C I was a lifer. He's constantly underrated for his in ring work and very few have made me laugh more outside of the ring. Doesn't hurt we both represent the name Jason.
Hurricane/Gregory Helms: How could I forget the Hurricane!? I was a fan in wCw. Glad he signed with WWE. Loved the Hurricane gimmick immensely. And I enjoyed his run as Gregory Helms.
I want to include Savage, Windham, Perfect, Piper, and several others. But each of them have had incarnations I wasn't a fan of. And I was going to include current guys like Ambrose, Harper, Sheamus, & Zayn, but it's too early to know for sure.
