IRS. I don't know why.
See also Test, circa the Stephanie McMahon angle.

When I was younger, I used to mark for wrestlers who had professions. For me, Isaac Yankem becoming Kane was a completely lateral move at the time.
I also loved Triple H's original blueblood gimmick in the WWE, and enjoyed his feud with the Godwinns far more than I should have. I sometimes wish he would go back to that gimmick.

Miz. Before the bandwagon. Hoo-RAH! I always liked the Miz, even though he acted like a real jerk. He picked a good profession to take that to the next level. My guilty pleasure is Mark Henry. Mainly for the music, cause I know he sucks in the ring. But, he intrigues me. I see Mark Henry come out, I think, "Somebody's gonna get their ass whipped." So, I feel compelled to watch.

I also loved the blueblood gimmick! It was much better than his current schtick--which as best I can grasp is "I'm doing the chairman's daughter so I get everything."

Jillian Hall: I've enjoyed her since she debuted as MNM's Fixer. The promo in which she was introduced is one of my favorite promos done by MNM.

I absolutely loved the Kane-Lita wedding. Horrible yes, but I was totally into it. From Lita's vows where she more or less told Kane to burn in hell, to Kane and his version of "druids" walking down the aisle, to Trish in her white lingerie, it was one of the funniest things ever.

I was a huge Simon Dean mark...and still would be if he ever came back.
I liked King Booker way better than regular Booker (save during BookDust days).

I didn't mind that angle, because Kane completely owned it. And the wedding was hilarious, the cello version of Kane's theme, Kane telling Lita her vows were beautiful, and the fact that Kane and Trish were the only ones not to mess up any lines. I liked the Vince McMahon and Shane vs HBK and God storyline. In particular the segment where Shane and Vince were in church.

I don't like calling these guilty pleasures. I feel I have perfectly legitimate reasons for liking everything I like, particularly when it comes to wrestling. But I'll play along.
I have a lot.
Of those mentioned already: MNM Test - Big time. Miz Disco Inferno
Furthermore: Every member of the Natural Born Thrillers, including the present. Every tag team with at least one big man. Big Show, no matter what. X-Pac, Billy Gunn, and Road Dogg, including the present.
Of course, it can be exhausting to DEFEND things you like, since the internet produces so much nonsense. (Un)Great certainly worked his ass off, but that isn't always worth it. I don't like having to say "I told you so." I'm quietly pleased The Miz has gold and is winning people over, and even more pleased that Big Show's ECW title reign made him an internet sensation.

Great Khali.
I don't give a shit if he doesn't have an acceptable workrate according to smarks, it's really something to see a dude that freakishly big in the ring.

I loved DDP during his motivational speaker phase, that's not a bad thing, that's a good thing.
Any wrestler that’s stupid enough to wear a tie in the ring, especially IRS.
I taped SNME once just to see Finlay/ Hornswoggle Vs Bogeyman/Little Bogeyman.
Anything that fit’s to a wrestling cliché, eg Hogan’s comebacks, the face overcoming the odds, standard fat man offence.
These moves; big elbow drops, 2nd rope fist drops, comedy eye pokes, banzai drops and the big boot.
Daft superpowers.
Taboo Tuesday 2005 is one of my favourite PPVs despite everybody else hating it.
Shane O'Mac is my favourite wrestler, I actually feel so guilty about this I regularly try to convince myself it’s actually HBK or Foley.

The last time I really greatly enjoyed a tag team was when Kane and RVD paired up. I loved that version of masked Kane when he still had hair and RVD gave him a Christmas present. He just will not ever be that cool again.

The Boogeyman - Yes he has no "WORKRATE!!!!!", but the gimmick is highly entertaining to me. Deuce N' Domino(and Cherry) - Yeah, they're average in ring, but I mark hard for just about anything 50's related, so they automatically have me on their side! DDP's Motivational Speaker Gimmick - It wasn't a bad thing, It was a good thing! (My friends and I still quote that line to this day!) HHH being Champion Random Nostalgia comebacks (i.e. Hogan, Austin, Foley)

Liking the Posse should not be a guilty pleasure. I wish we would have met "Mean" Willie Green.

He just will not ever be that cool again. That was the most amazing team ever. RVD: "It's a small world"? Dude, what have YOU been smoking?
