So much love for Jericho.

I love him taking a fan's sign praising him on the way to the ring, ripping it up and yelling at the fan.

Prob not the GOAT in an objective way, but Undertaker's my favourite AINEC. Would never have got into wrestling if it weren't for the original 'Taker/Kane feud.

I mean Jericho is so great that he caused Dean Malenko to get a HUGE pop when he took off that mask. Maybe since 96-01 was when I watched a ton of wrestling and 01-current, I watch it here and there with spurts of following it closely again. IMO Jericho is the best worker since I've watched wrestling.

Goldberg and The Rock.

Yeah yeah I know Goldberg wasn't a great worker whatever, I'm pretty casual fan when it comes to wrestling.

No qualifier needed. I bet the majority of us enjoyed Goldberg.

I enjoyed the **** out of Goldberg.

Brandon put it pretty well

As someone who was there when Goldberg started this streak, I know unarguably that what made casual fans love ol’ Bill so much is that on a show full of boastful, constantly-talking people he just walked to the ring, murdered people in three minutes and LEFT. That was it. He didn’t spout catchphrases, he didn’t have wacky shirts, he didn’t zip-line down from the rafters. He had Viking Death Music, let fireworks burn him, backflipped occasionally and made people die with his shoulder. It was great.

Yeah that covers it pretty well. I think I have never been more furious about wrestling than when (can you even say that lol?) Goldberg was cheated out of the title.

This is a rare 'favorite' question where it is easier for me to name my #1 then my top 3 or 5. Ric Flair made you love his opponent or love him; he never left you apathetic towards a feud, match, or promo. He raised the level of whomever he was facing and whomever looked like he could be the next big thing, instead of burying the young guys like so many top stars have done throughout the years. The list of wrestlers whose best or second best feud in their whole career was with Flair is huge.

You ever see Iron Shiek with an Amex and an eight ball?

Yah Savage might've been the only guy that made me mark out when I was older than 15. I wanted him to kick Hogan's @s$ in wcw and still find it kinda sad that he never got to even once. Even when he was heel in the nwo I wanted him to win & thought it was great when Liz would spraypaint some midcard face jobber or whatever.
