Scott Hall. Always found him entertaining and ridic cool as a kid plus he can put on good matches.

Scott Hall was a huge part of why I enjoyed Nitro back in the day. He just had this magnetism were I always wanted to hear what he had to say and watch him. Strangely, when he looked like a Magnum TA impersonator in WCW and AWA in the 80s with the mustache and light brown mullet, he came off as rather awkward. Dying his hair black and having the five o'clock shadow seemed to change his attitude along with the outer appearance.

I agree. He had natural charisma. His entire mannerisms before speaking to a crowd. He knew how to pull it off. He played his character to perfection with the little things he would do whilst even walking to the ring as Hall.

You can't teach that. You either have it or you don't.

Come on... You guys are missing some classics:

Junkyard Dawg, Andre the Giant, Roddy Piper, Hacksaw Jim Dugan, Superfly Snuka, the Uganda Giant, Leapin Lanny and others were classic top performers.

Though you have people, like us, who talks about wrestling history and all of that and we, sometimes, somehow, manage to talk about Benoit and everything great that he did before the tragedy.

Interesting to see the Benoit conversation 4 years down the road. The WWE still does not acknowledge Benoit. But now, with the Network, his PPV matches are all available (AFAIK), along with much of his Smackdown work.

Yeah Hall was the guy that originally got me back into wrestling. He just seemed like the coolest guy ever when I was a kid.

Take away Jericho, add Eddie(not sure how I missed that) and this list still holds up.

I can easily see somebody having Goldberg as their favorite. Don't think that's all that surprising.

Kid is a different animal. Maybe if you dug his underdog mid-90s WWE days.

He's a huge liability with his recent history of DUI's and he's in poor health. His history with pain killer abuse doesn't help either.

I don't think he could pass the physical/get medical clearance.

Cheap Heat proposed a way to get him back to WWE without needing him to get medical clearance--new GM of Smackdown. Bring back one of the Smackdown 6, have him only doing promos and setting up matches. At worst, he's just a guy who's much better on the mic than Shane. At best, he could get himself healthy and wrestle once every 6 months or so.

I originally posted in this thread seven years ago. My answer has changed since then.

Growing up, it was Bret Hart.

Somewhere around 2012-13, I discovered puroresu. More specifically, Kenta Kobashi. He's my answer now.

I wasn't particularly interested in "great" matches (although Bret in particular did give us these), I was interested in the characters
