If your answer to this question is "nobody" you should seriously question why you bother watching anymore...
We all have our favourites, and our least favourites, but who do you find yourself really pulling for..?
Which wrestler invests you to the point where you consider yourself a supporter, not just a spectator..?
Which wrestler takes you back to the days when wrestling was still real to you, dammit, so you pinned all your hopes on them..?
Which wrestler do you support 100% regardless of their storyline, angle or positioning on the card..?

I have to admit for me it has been Daniel Bryan for years. Prior to that it was CM Punk, but over recent years I've found myself shamelessly fan-boying behind Stone Cold, Shawn Michaels, The Miz (WM27), Tyler Breeze, Adrian Neville..
Now, going forward, it has to be Sami Zayn for me, I love the guy and always have. I genuinely consider myself honoured to have been there for part of his comeback tour of the U.K. in December. I very nearly shed a tear, me and my missus partied like 1999 when his music hit. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I'll always hold a candle for Eddie, too. Someone I loved for his heelish antics with the LWO/Mysterio Feud from a very young age. Also the first guy through the curtain at my very first WWE show.
But probably most of all, The Undertaker. It's hard not to love a guy who's been a consistency throughout my entire wrestling-life. He main evented my first show against Brock, and it was surreal for me to see him in person break character and meet/pose with fans after the show. When I was a kid, his over the top aura was a BIG part in helping me understand the business, and be "smart" to it. But unlike 'finding out Santa wasn't real', it still fascinates me how good he really was at the whole "deadman" schtick, and how many tales he must be able to tell. One of the last classic wrestlers, so strongly compelled by respect for kayfabe within the business that we may never hear some of those tales.
I can safely say I only ever cheered against Undertaker once or twice, during his feud with Austin in 99, and when he retired HBK at WM26. Aside from that Ive supported him always. I was like a kid again shouting support at the TV when he faced Brock twice last year, and like a lot of others, I shed tears over the end of The Streak. To me, he is wrestling.
Shane McMahon can shove his inheritance!
Who's yours? And why?
