My first favorite was The Rock. But my 2nd favorite is Eddie Guerrero, who I'd consider my favorite wrestler of all time

I remember being a fan of Hollywood Hogan as a kid, even taking on the role on the school ground when everybody else wanted to be Sting. Safe to say that feeling faded over time.
The first WWE star that I gravitated to was MOD-era Undertaker. And though my awe faded over the last several years, I still consider so many moments and matches of his my favorites.

My very first favorite was "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff. Dude looked like a million bucks and could get it done in the ring. I will argue to death that he should have been the guy to end Hulk's first title reign. That feud was white-hot.
My current favorite of all time is (looks at avatar) Macho. He looked like what a non-wrestling fan would think of when they hear the term "professional wrestler". He was so serious about his job that he worked out every match ahead of time, right down to the tiniest detail. And he was quick-witted and a hell of a talker. An absolute cultural icon, that even people who don't follow our sport know who he was.

3 way tie between taker, hbk, and Bret Hart. Started watching hardcore in 95/96 loved those three equally. But it got me to see my favorite of all time grow in stone cold Steve Austin. So much great TV esp 97.

Jack Brisco
And no. Jack was my dads favorite so he was my favorite when I first got into wrestling.

Piper and Warrior were my favorites when I was a very little kid. Perfect, Macho, and Jake kind of rounded out my top 5. All Hasbro and pop culture (backpacks, notebooks, cereal, video games) related at the time. All of those guys are somewhere in my top 25 all time list. I think Piper is the best talker of all time to this day.
I’m a love at first sight guy for the most part. My favorites when I actually started watching weekly around Rumble 94 were Shawn, Owen, Diesel and Razor, and I’ve been a huge fan of those guys since that time. I think HBK is the goat.

I’d say even though I started watching in 98 and liked a few different superstars, I’d say the first guy that was definitively my favorite was RVD. I was the biggest RVD fan when he came to WWE in 2001 (didnt have ECW available as a kid).
Ive definitley gone through favorites over the years as guys come and go. I can’t say there’s one guy right now that I have to tune in every week for (Roman’s current schtick is about as close as it gets at the moment on any show). AJ was probably the last guy in 2017-2018, Daniel Bryan before him in 2013-2014.

My first favorite was always RVD!! Now, he might not even be in my top ten or top fifteen.
I also loved Chris Benoit as a kid and then was so horrified when I found out what happened.

Bret Hart, still my favorite today. There isn’t a soul in wrestling who has even come closes to telling the stories Bret was able to tell in the ring.

This is slightly long, since it requires explanation.
Hogan. And no. I still love him, I’ll always be loyal to him since he was the star of my childhood. For that reason he’s still, and always will be on my short list. However if you look up broken halo in the dictionary there’s a photo of him next to that entry. He’d probably still be number one if he’d just retired from public life forever after his 2002/2003 run, but it’s just been embarrassment after embarrassment since then. Not a single positive thing since 2003. I now pity him. Nevertheless I will still default to disliking people who badmouth him, especially wrestlers.
My favorite of all time is who I feel is the greatest of all time: Kurt Angle. He was getting close to a Hogan situation at one point, but I’m glad that his is a story of redemption. I still hate how his last run ended, but if I’m honest he probably never should’ve gotten back in the ring. It doesn’t change the fact that he was just incredible for the vast majority of his career. Nice guy too (I’ve met him).

Randy Orton since I watched my first event, Wrestlemania 21.
I went in not knowing anything about anyone or even what WWE was and I tell you, I was blown away.
As a side note, I feel like wrestling doesn’t have that same effect. Everyone had dazzling entrances with awesome theme songs to really draw you in to who they were.
As great as Kevin Owens is, I don’t think a chubby guy wearing gym shorts and a t shirt coming out to a generic rock beat for your marquee match has the same effect as Shawn Michael’s coming out to a catching self-sung song with pyro technics and flashy entrance gear

Jerry Lawler was my first favorite. We're talking pre-WWF Lawler.
If he's 1a then Shawn Michaels is 1b as he was my first WWF favorite and still is.

HBK
Austin
CM Punk
Still. And I can't see any reason why it will ever change.
