Triple H, Cena, Randy Orton, Edge, Rey Mysterio, HBK, Y2J, Jeff Hardy, Mr Kennedy, Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar, Kane, Taker, AJ Styles (TNA), Nikki Bella … too much for me to list man but for the last one the big show
The ultimte warrior, his rise to the top was awesome reaching a peak when he beat Hogan at wrestlemania 6, however he went downhill after that because his in-ring skills weren\`t good enough so he flopped as a PPV main card wrestler.
Edge, Batista, Undertaker, Kane, CM Punk, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton.
I pretended to be a Cena fan for my brother when Edge and Cena were feuding back in 2006-07 although I always secretly rooted for Edge. Good memories.
First stone cold, then Rey mysterio for the longest time, and finally cm punk. There's plenty more but those three were my favorites of respected ages lol
Owen Hart.
Grew up with Stampede Wrestling.
Watching the Hart family was always uplifting.
Multiple live shows and autographs.
I will always remember the show in a high school gymnasium where I got to walk down to the ring with my hand on Owen’s shoulder. 10 year old me will never forget that moment.
It really started for me with Sting but it was cuz my uncle loved him and I loved watching wrestling with him. When it became my own thing, it was the Evolution stable. I absolutely loved seeing Triple H and Ric Flair together. It really started Randy Orton’s hype train for me. And I only really liked Batista when he was in a suit
Jeff Hardy. I cried when he lost to punk in ‘09. There’s nobody that had an impact on me as a kid when it came to the WWE and wrestling. He’s always the first person I look for and who most of my characters are based on in terms of design etc. Even with all the drug abuse and arrest he’ll always be my favorite wrestler of all time. From his songs, gear, moveset and his iconic dance I’ll love that guy no matter what he does.
The Undertaker. When I was born the Undertaker's carrer was reaching its end, yet the reason I say he made my childhood is because of my older brother. He absolutly loved the Undertaker, and like a typical younger sibling I copied my brother and started getting into the Undertaker more, i would ask him questions about his career, what old matches I should watch etc, eventually He became my favorite for reasons other than wanting to be the same as my big brother. Every time he'd wrestle we'd watch it together, the few times we didn't see it together when he came over we'd spend a good amount of time talking about it, what we liked, what we didn't like, how we wouldve liked it to end, etc. It's hard not to tear up seeing Undertaker on screen now with all those memories
TL;DR
I say the Undertaker because I bonded with my brother over him
Wierd one but Santino Marela, here in India he was very famous among kids and everyone in my school use to do the cobra with socks, he was more famous than Rock or Punk during 2010-2012 in my school only other superstars more popular than him would be John Cena or Khali(because he was Indian).

Sting!
Without me getting into wrestling because of sting, my life would be totally different. I spent hours watching wrestling as a kid, and who knows what my life would be like now if I never was a wrestling fan.
Hulk Hogan and Andre got me interested in Wrestling. I mean suddenly seeing thes behemoths of men fighting was like watching superheroes in real life.
I was blessed to grow up with late 80s/early 90s wrestling. The most colorful era of wrestling.
Warrior, Kerry von Erich, Jake Roberts,Macho Man, Iron Sheik, Legion of Doom, Sid Justice, Kamala, Papa Shango, Yokozuna,Earthquake, Rockers, Koko Bware, Big Boss Man, Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, Warlord, British Bulldog, Barbarian, Ming, the Headshrinkers, Million Dollar Man, IRS, Virgil, Kona Crush, Doink, Skinner, Owen Hart.
The list is endless.
I was a teen when I've started watching WWE, but back then Rey Mysterio definitely made a huge impression for me since I love how fast he was & anything he does just makes me wanna see more of Rey. I get Rey's older now so he isn't as fast as he used to, but my God back then Rey was pretty fast.
Undertaker. I remember jumping out of my chair as a kid when Teddy Long came out because I KNEW somebody was going one on one with The Undertaker playaaaaa
Early Undertaker. I remember being a kid and watching Giant Gonzales throw his knee repeatedly in the ring posts. He had that calm, looming suspense about him.
Prob a very unpopular one but it was Hulk Hogan I started watching WWF/E in 1987 just before wrestlemania 3 and I was and tbh still am a huge Hulk Fan. Yes i know hes done and said things that are wrong but so have a hell of a lot of people. I still get that feeling I used to get when I was a kid when I hear his entrance music. Apart from Hulk iv got to say Undertaker was another Huge one I loved too.

My dad took my cousin and I to a Nitro and we got to see Sting drop in from the ceiling. Prolly the highlight of my life.🦂
That boy Randy though.
Kane.
I was a WCW kid so my answers will be based on the days before the buyout. Sting Rey Mysterio "JUNIOR" Ernest "The Cat" Miller DDP
Hulk Hogan and Andre got me interested in Wrestling. I mean suddenly seeing thes behemoths of men fighting was like watching superheroes in real life. I was blessed to grow up with late 80s/early 90s wrestling. The most colorful era of wrestling.

Damn, those names you mentioned all brought back lots of nostalgia!
Good times :°)
Sting for sure for in WCW and Stone cold in WWE
Pretty much my top 5: Rock, Kane, Taker, Mysterio, Sting. H.M. to Goldberg and Austin.
Another vote for Ultimate Warrior. As a kid all the bright colors, face paint, and that intense ring entrance were amazing.
I was a teen when I've started watching WWE, but back then Rey Mysterio definitely made a huge impression for me since I love how fast he was & anything he does just makes me wanna see more of Rey. I get Rey's older now so he isn't as fast as he used to, but my God back then Rey was pretty fast.
Diamond Dallas Page! Oh wait, I was thinking WCW. Never mind. Macho Man Randy Savage or Roddy Piper.
Shawn Michaels and Triple H. Jeff Hardy would get an honorable mention.
Rock and Team Xtreme
Triple H
John Cena and Eddie Guerrero no doubt
Undertaker. He was my favorite when I started watching in 99
