I don't recall having an odd favorite wrestler in particular but my uncle was a huge mark of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. When I was a kid (he was still a teenager back then), we were cutting promos together and he would always impersonate Neidhart (of course I was the Hitman lol) and he nailed the laugh every time.

Masayuki Naruse. I like shoot-style guys. But I'm the only person I know that so much as CARES about Naruse. Him and Daijiro Matsui. And Kazunari Murakami.
I mentionned this before on here but, Erik Watts. Don't know why. When I think of Watts, I always think of what could have been, the guy had the tools.
Alex Wright. He could definitively work.
Chris Adams in WCW. Of course, you'd like Chris Adams in World Class, but I didn't know anything about World Class back then. I liked Adams in WCW, I thought he was smooth.
Mikey Whipwreck before he turned satanical, back when he simply was a loser's loser.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned him, but Big Bully Busick. He had an awesome look and I loved his circa-1890 tough-guy persona.
Also, from WCCW, I loved Beauty & The Beast

What I loved most about Super Calo was his mask. I was also a bit of a mark for "Lightning Foot" Jerry Flynn if he counts.

Simon Diamond: I was such a mark for him that I took a "Simon Diamond the real F'in show" sign to every ECW show taped in Toledo..... including the lost first episode of ECW on TNN. I also had a "Simon Diamond fan club" sign at both Heat Wave events they did in Dayton.
Johnny Swinger: More or less because he was Simon's partner.
Battle Kat: Only justification I have for this one is I liked his mask.

I wad a total mark for Jason the Terrible AKA Karl Moffatt. He was a guy from Stampede Wrestling who worked as Jason from Friday The 13th. Those who read Bret Hart's book might remember Moffatt as the recipient of a pretty funny, if mean-spirited rib at the hands of Bret and Bad News.

The Cat. That's right, I said it. I marked out for his feud with the nWo B-Team where each one of them kept coming out to try and defeat him.

Scott Putski - always thought he had "it" but never seemed to be more than a jobber in WCW
Kizarny - reminded me of Raven in a strange way
Kevin Thorn - dude kicked ass and was great in his role, wish he would've gotten a title

La Parka was awesome. I loved the chairman! I'd mark hard if he ever showed up in WWE.

When I was a kid (he was still a teenager back then), we were cutting promos together and he would always impersonate Neidhart (of course I was the Hitman lol) and he nailed the laugh every time. Neidhart was the effin' MAN when I was a kid! In fact, when I was playing the SDvR game that he was on, I'd often have Bret Hart as WHC, Neidhart as U.S. champion, and then the Hart Foundatiion as World Tag Team champions. Also, add to my list "El Matador" Tito Santana and Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. Plus, I liked Phineas Godwinn slightly more than Henry, and I thought Rad Radford was rad pretty talented and a fun gimmick for the time. Also, add me to the list of people who liked the David Flair/Crowbar combo. (plus I had a major crush on Daffney at the time - I still think she's foxy - so that definitely helped.)

I liked Virgil so much as a kid. I remember he had a WWF title match against Bret Hart on Superstars and I wishing he won the belt.

Everyone knows and loves(?) Gillberg, but I actually like him much more as Duane Gill. The cocky pre-match swagger and initial "offence" before being destroyed was soo much fun.
