Whelp...of course Hulk Hogan, but I have footage of me saying He-Be Jim (Hillbilly Jim). my mom always used to tell me Hogan, He-Be Jim and Roddy Roddy (My version of Rowdy Roddy) were my favorites. Still love Roddy and Hulk to this day.

I always liked Demolition, they frightened me as a kid, they reminded me of executioners on their way to the ring in all that black attire, I was never a legion of doom fan - give me Demo any day of the week. LOD were stronger and more physically impressive, but Demolition were better wrestlers and could have good matches with anyone. Ax already had a lot of experience and Smash really evolved a lot as an in-ring performer while with Demolition. As for feats of strength... I would put Crush up against either Hawk or Animal. |

I started watching in October of 1992. My first favorites were Marty Jannetty, High Energy, and Mr. Perfect. I also liked Arn Anderson because he looked like my dad and had awesome music.

I can't remember when I started but I think it was 06 or 07. The first wrestler I ever saw was The Undertaker. I think it was Smackdown but I can't recall who he was wrestling. I didn't become a big fan untill I rented WWF Smackdown Just Bring It and WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 from my local Blockbuster (R.I.P old friend) and I really liked the Hurricane eventually I found others and then.....................The Hulkster. Been a Hulkamaniaic ever since.

HBK, Razor Ramon, Bret Hart, Undertaker and Mankind were some of my faves growing up. As wrestling changed and I got older, I still adored HBK but Rock and Stone Cold would then become "my guys". I always had a soft spot for the Hardy's and Billy Gunn as well. Always admired Billy's strength.

My favorite was and still is The Undertaker. I was actually thinking the other day how lucky I was to have chosen him as my favorite. He has had such a long career that I never had a reason to stop watching. My younger brothers had their favorite wrestlers retire in 2002-2004 (Rock and Austin ) so they stopped caring because their favorites were gone around the time they became teenagers so there attention stayed elsewhere where as I still had a reason to watch . If Undertaker had retired when I was younger I don't know if I would be the big lifetime fan of wrestling that I am now.

I first got into wrestling in the summer of 1994 and I was only 7 years old so naturally I became big fans of Bret Hart and Lex Luger.

My brother just got us tickets for a Q&A and meet & greet with him July 8 in a nearby town. He was supposed to come a year ago but he had to have surgery on his wrist it's when he was diagnosed with cancer. I'm so psyched. |

I first started watching in 1980 but it was sporatic. I started watching regularly around 1984.
The Road Warriors were my absolute favorites. But Flair, Dusty, Tully, Arn, Magnum TA, Macho Man were and still are my favorites.

Randy Savage for WWE. I watched wrestling a lil here and there after WM2. But Randy Savage vs Rick Steamboat made me a lifer. It was magic. Plus my grandfather LOVED Randy Savage, so that was a bond we had.
Barry Windham for the NWA. I wasn't as in NWA as I was WWE. Not sure why. But once I saw Windham turn on his partner Lex Luger to join the Four Horsemen, I finally realized the appeal. I appreciated JCP for their realism.

Bret Hart. He was the only wrestler as a kid who I backed as face or heel. I don't recall being as big a fan of anyone else for years until Mankind started to lighten up and split into Dude Love and Cactus Jack. I believed in good guys and bad guys and liked wrestlers accordingly, if anyone turned, they were off the list! And if anyone beat Bret Hart, they were also off the list.
Though, for Christmas 1997 my brother got me (7 years old at the time) VHS tapes of the 1995 King of the Deathmatch tournament and a Sabu in ECW compilation. From then I was hooked on Sabu and Foley. I spent that rest of that Christmas re-enacting Sabu vs The Sandman by putting my Ultimate Warrior Wrestling Buddy on top of boxes and diving through them.
I guess 1997 was when I started watching WCW and DDP was my favourite there.
In summary, Bret Hart until 1997, then Hart, Foley, Sabu and DDP.
