HHH vs HBK at Royal Rumble 2004 in the Last Man Standing Match

Chris Benoit, Shawn Michaels, and RVD.

And to a lesser extent: Kane, Kurt Angle, and Booker T.

I'd have to go with Shawn Michaels being the first one to ever stand out to me. Other names to add, the Undertaker (90's Taker), Bret Hart and Razor Ramon.

Bret Hart
Ric Flair
CM Punk
The Great Muta
Chris Benoit
The Ultimo Dragon
Dean Malenko
Eddy Guerrero
Booker T
Edge
Kurt Angle
Samoa Joe

These are just a few of the people who made me love wrestling.

Chris Jericho.

Oddly enough, DDP got me to start watching wrestling, but Rey Misterio Jr and Eddie Guerrero kept me there. 

As far as WWE, Cactus Jack. Mick Foley in general is my spirit animal.

Edge made me start watching WWE, I'd only be interested in his matches, then I started being OBSESSED with Cena, I started going off of WWE untill about 2010 and it wasn't until Eve Torres, I was hooked the way I am today.

Easily Bret Hart, I absolutely idolized him when I was a young kid and I cried when he lost to Shawn Michaels at WM XII, I hated Shawn Michaels with a passion.

Rocky when I was a wee lad at the age of 4 in the year 2000. I always hated Kurt angle growing up because of Rock. Same goes for HHH.

Kurt Angle easily! I mean he is the guy I still look up this very day! Winning a gold medal with a broken neck and then breaking your neck mid WrestleMania main event and still carrying out the match because of what happened with Lesnars SSP that match! I love both his heel/face work and he is comedy gold! He just had it all and I'm waiting for his return!

I was a massive latecomer - I've only been watching since I was about nineteen, three years ago, and the first one was actually the Big Show. Not because of anything I would grow to enjoy about wrestling later, but because he was so damn huge and he pulled a swerve in the one ending segment I watched, so I decided to watch more. (That aside, my mind was pretty blown by AJ Lee partnering with Tamina Snuka, that was what took up that Big Show spark and made me actually get into it >.>)

Sable, Jacqueline, and Chyna. 

My first memories of wrestling are SUPER hazy (considering this was like, 1998-1999), but I vaguely remember the Sable/Jacqueline feud. I've since gone back and rewatched a lot of it. And of course, Chyna was one of the marquee performers at the time, regardless of gender. So for me to be tiny and see that the company was overwhelmingly dominated by guys, but these three managed to carve out a niche for themselves. Even back then, they stood out to me.

For me it was definitely the Rock, used to tune in every week just to see him.

His Mania segment this year however I did not enjoy

Chris Benoit after he killed his family and self. They say kayfabe is dead.
