Mass Transit. GOAT. :,)

Triple H

HBK.

Two...Yokozuna and Undertaker.

They were in the first ever wrestling match I saw.  Undertaker vs. Yokozuna in a Casket Match.  I've been hooked ever since!

A combination of Goldberg and Triple H. When Goldberg was in WCW I began watching with my uncle, when he died in 2000 I was 6 and lost interest. Fast forward to 2003 and I see RAW on Spike TV and Evolution was dominating RAW, this was before Beniot was on RAW and started fucking their shit up. Evolution held every title on RAW and I watched RAW specifically to see HHH, Batista, Flair, and especially Randy Orton. Over time it grew into an obsession resulting in the cluster fuck of a life I live now.

Dusty Rhodes and the 4 Horsemen are the earliest memories I have of wrestling, but I think the thing that roped me in was what many consider the strangest and most poorly booked feud of all time, and that was Sting vs The Black Scorpion.

Those of you who know me better probably already know how I'm going to answer.

Two men that are especially important in how I view wrestling are Sting and the Great Muta (AKA Keiji Mutoh). Some of the first matches I remember seeing involve them. I remember going to see both of them live in my city's arena, even having a Faces of Sting T-Shirt. 

I was always a Muta fan, but around 2006 I got into watching puroresu on a larger scale and started watching a lot of his work from back in the day and catching up with some of his more memorable matches in the last few years against the likes of Tanahashi, Misawa, and others.

They were both colorful, athletic personas that I was drawn to and have considerable influence on how I view wrestling as a fan and play characters as an efedder.
