Interested if anyone's age and understanding of kayfabe effects this? Good thread. I think it does a bit for me. I started watching not long before WM4 so I've seen some long careers. I'm finding it difficult to come up with any that I have liked nonstop throughout their entire careers. I've followed WWF/WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA and a bunch of other promotions. I've seen wrestlers compete in multiple companies. Sometimes I liked someone in one company but then disliked them in another. Sometimes booking made me like them more or less. In Ring skills, promos, looks, heel/face turns; all of that has contributed on whether I like someone or not on varying levels. Things wrestlers have said outside of wrestling have made me respect them more and made me lose respect too. There's hundreds I have liked at one time or another but there's something at one point in their careers that made me not like them. So on my list. Bobby Heenan Trish Stratus

Someone whose name I can't say...and I don't mean because I can't pronounce it...heel or face; I always loved his work. I want to say Terry Funk but when he feuded with Dreamer in '99 I was aghast...so yeah, not him....

CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Chris Jericho are the top 3 for me probably. Pretty sure I've enjoyed Barrett since the Nexus too. I'm trying to think of older wrestlers. Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels. I don't recall a time ever disliking Edge either.

Shawn Michaels, CM Punk, The Undertaker, Chris Jericho.
That's probably it from a kayfabe and real standpoint.

A lot of people really such as: Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, John Morrison, Lita, Trish Stratus, Mickie James, Chris Jericho, Seth Rollins, Naomi, Sasha Banks, etc.
I think once I like people it is rare for me to stop liking them. I may like them less than when I really liked them (Cody Rhodes --> Stardust for example) but I am still a fan I just wish they would be more like they were before.
Some people I may not have liked initially but really like now such as Michelle McCool, Wade Barrett, and Dolph Ziggler (I'm counting the Spirit Squad run since I liked him ever since the name change).

I grew up in the 80's, so I was a fan of the Von Erichs, Dick the Bruiser, the Steiners and groups of people.
I was mostly a fan of tag team wrestling, so the Rock N Roll Express and The Rockers were very high on my list as a kid.

I'm guilty of being a babyface kind of guy, and or liking guys that other people really don't. So saying that,
Evan Bourne - Been one of my favorites since, I dunno, since early 2010. He's just been a likable guy for me. He could've done a lot WWE wise if he had stayed clean and healthy. I hope he returns, I don't see it, he fits well in the indies, but I hope it happens. Seeing him and Cesaro round two, or him and Neville or Zayn.
Trent Barreta - Another case of misused talent, I've always liked Trent, when he was in the Dudebusters, that little skit with them and Vickie when Smackdown was "moving" to SyFy, showed he had some charisma, then the little push he got in the little feud with McIntyre with Kelly Kelly, only led to him jobbing and being eliminated in the first few seconds of each battle royal.
Kofi Kingston - Just a boatload of talent, stayed healthy, clean, steals the show often, but ever since the New Day, it's just been hell for the guy. He would've been in the IC title ladder match, he didn't even get a cool elimination escape in the Andre Battle Royal. And he probably won't even be in the Mitb match.
Curt Hawkins - Misused talent once more, he could play a great heel.
Others I won't go into detail; Tyson Kidd Tyler Breeze is growing on me John Morrison Paul London

When I was younger I always liked Kane. No idea why I was just drawn to him. While at periods I haven't liked his direction I never hated him.
Obviously Undertaker, never on top for a ridiculously long period, always happy to just be around I think.
And recently Bullet Club. Too sweet me.
