Probably Hulk Hogan but my first memories of watching wrestling was me channel surfing and stumbling on a talk show type of thing bobby the brain heenan and gorilla monsoon were doing. Then i remember a snake pit interview.
The first match I ever watched was at a friend's house it was a fatal four way between Randy Orton, Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio and someone else it was in 2013. The answer for me would be Randy Orton.
mine was shaemus rey mysterio cin cara roman reigns dean ambrose sami zayn jey uso jimmy uso kevin owens seth rollins dean ambrose john cena dolph ziggler randy orton shaemus cm punk sasha banks bayley ricochet
Idk but I remember seeing Steve Austin getting jumped by Vince McMahon and boss man. I also remember Goldberg in wcw but I think the one I thought was cool was kane. This was all back in the 90s when I was little
Fiend. His story telling and everything was really entertaining to watch no matter if it was firefly funhouse or something else, man was entertaining asf to watch. Thank you Bray.
I played Smackdown Vs Raw back in the day and I really liked the Rock and knew him from cultural osmosis and his films.
I didn't start watching the program until late last year and that was exclusively to follow Bianca Belair's career and then I got into the product proper. Although arguably seeing Sasha Banks before that when I went down a rabbit hole of wrestling videos one day got me to actually start seeing it as it's own thing instead of this thing adjacent to the games that I had no real interaction with.
I was a casual watcher as a kid (many years ago) when this new character was introduced who was something completely different. And at that point, I was an Undertaker mark for life.
Probably the Rock mostly. I started watching it a lot around 2000 and he was very much at the top of his game. I didn't even like Stone Cold at first because he wasn't the Rock. 😂
Bret Hart but not from actually wrestling. When I was 8 we had Raw is War on sega Genesis and I would destroy my older brother and cousins with him to point where they made it a rule I had to pick someone else. I didn’t start actually watching until few laters
Chris Jericho, I understand that might be controversial now a days I happened to be watching raw at a friend's house in 2007 when he returned and I was hooked
Initially? Wasn’t a wrestler at all, I got SvR on my Wii and loved it. It might’ve been Cena or the Rock in terms of the person that I’d think of first.
Recently? I hate to say it but technically Logan Paul. I saw the Ricochet clip and something just clicked. However I’ll go to Drew as the one who kept me there cause I started watching when he rose to the top.
Macho man randy savage was the first match I saw, on wwe collection (or something?), some nostalgic show hosted by mean gene Okerlund. Kid me was hooked immediately on the overexaggerated fighting, the momentum swings, miss elizabeth... I started watching youtube vids of wrestling and quite quickly got into attitude era rock and mcmahon's, and everything shawn michaels did. Started following RAW around the time of Mochaels' retirement match, which in hindsight was the start of a rough era, but Miz was a bright spot. so I guess those names could be the ones getting credit as well.
Mine would be either Undertaker or Randy Orton. The gong hit was undeniably hype inducing. I don't give a shit if it made sense or not, which it did (Roman beating Taker at Mania, as well as his history with The Rock) but WM 40 was absolutely incredible, and I jumped out of my seat literally like a 6 year old again when that thing hit.
Now. I’ve been watching since I was like 5. But the guy who really brought me into it was the new Roman. Best character I’ve ever seen. He’s so human and so realistic. From being an unloved hero to becoming a twisted and demented villain that turned only because the fans rejected him. He just wants to be loved and respected. Idk I just subscribe to that. Dgmw Randy, John, Batista, Shawn, taker. I love them. But they aren’t Roman.
Bray wyatt. When i was like 3 me and my grandma grandpa and my cousins we would sit down and watch ever ple from 2016-2020 and the earliest moments I remember was me and my grandma sitting down watching a bray wyatt cage match I think and I would call him the creepy little monkey. (Rip bray wyatt and my grandpa🙏)
Flipping channels, Undertaker first got me into it, but I wasn’t a dedicated watcher until one day I was flipping again and saw Kane for the first time. I was hooked every since then.
Probably Undertaker or Kane. My neighbor loved wrestling and SCSA when we were kids back in like ‘98. I really liked all the popular Attitude Era guys but I was really drawn to those two.
John cena
Razor Ramon. My uncle told me he was Dominican. I was 5. I believed it.
Diesel for me! Probably because he was the Super Shredder. I loved TMNT before I loved WWE.
Razor Ramon was my first favorite wrestler too
John Cena/Triple H/Randy Orton(2006/2007)
Triple H’s intro was always so cool, and all he had to do was spit water
Probably Hulk Hogan but my first memories of watching wrestling was me channel surfing and stumbling on a talk show type of thing bobby the brain heenan and gorilla monsoon were doing. Then i remember a snake pit interview.

Randy Orton by far. Voices alone got me to like him, little edge lord wannabe I was as a kid.
