I got an Ultimate Warrior Wrestling Buddy as a gift in about 1990. So him.

Best or favorite? I loved UW was a kid but my favorite wrestler growing up was Sting. Many of my friends ended up in the scorpion deathlock and got hit with the stinger splash.

Sting and DDP
Early 90s kid and Nitro was my apex, until 2000-2002 WWF

Stone Cold Steve Austin
WWF back then was mainstream enough to have a poster of him with a milk mustache in my elementary school cafeteria.

The Undertaker.
His character couldn't have been pulled off by anyone else and his longevity at his size can't be rivaled.

Stone Cold Steve Austin. Every guy at my junior high was a Stone Cold fan. Even had a Royal Rumble birthday party with a bunch of us.

my aunt who knows nothing about sports and doesn’t like wrestling went to a match and saw the Rock and Stone Cold. I never got to see either. It was super mainstream. That was back when most malls had a store dedicated to wrestling, with tons of shirts. ETA: most malls in the South at least

Got that (age) beat by a mile.
Tommy “Wildfire” Rich. Wrestled as a tag team partner of “Chief” Wahoo McDaniels.
Older brother of the afore pictured Arn Anderson (Ole) and a big bald Eastern European bad guy (Iron Sheik?) were their arch enemies.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the couple of these documentaries I’ve seen. Stone Cold, The Rock, Ultimate Warrior, Andre the Giant, Rowdy Roddy Piper and Macho Man Randy Savage so far. Caught parts of the one on Booker T also. He seems like a great guy. Vince McMahon has also been portrayed as a reasonably decent guy in these so far also.
Started watching when it was still regional so Georgia Championship Wrestling was what I saw regularly on TBS out of Atlanta. Got back in for a few years during the WCW heyday of SC, The Rock, Triple H and Degeneration X etc. The industry is a shadow of its former self now.

I vividly remember the rage I felt as a five-year-old when Jim Cornette would cheat for the Midnight Express to defeat the Rock N Roll Express.

JYD and Hacksaw Jim Doogan (Dugan). Not sure why Bill Watts called him Doogan instead of Dugan.

I remember them well. Just weren't my favorites.

I thought about saying Bobby Eaton as my favorite in this thread, but he wasn't really when I was watching wrestling. I came to really like him after hearing my Pops and great uncles telling stories of Bobby growing up and always being into wrestling. My Pops' family lived in the same part of town as Eaton, and knew his folks and family. Pops was a few years older than him, and would tell stories about Bobby trying to start wrestling matches with the neighborhood kids and how he was always hanging around the coliseum where the wrestlers would come once or twice a month. My great-grandmother and her sister always cooked for the wrestlers when they came into town, and put some of them up if they didn't have money for a room.
Bobby left out to train to become a wrestler at a young age, I think before he even graduated high school. He ended up being one of the best in the business and one of the most liked guys, too.
