When I was a kid, most people's favorite wrestler was Rock, Austin, Goldberg, etc.
However, my next door neighbor's favorite was Hardcore Holly.
So random.
What other one's have you encountered?

Gangrel, was, and is one of my all time favorites. His Impaler DDT is still the best version of that move.

My youngest brother used to root for the referees, reasoning, "They have to do what he tells them to do."
Can't argue with that logic.
He also wondered how CM Punk doesn't get in trouble for drawing on himself, and *viscerally* hated Chris Benoit but didn't have a reason as to why, which was kind of, uhh, surreal before too long during that time period.

Billy Gunn was the most popular DX member among my friends when I was a kid.

I will never not love Stevie Richards (barring Speaking Out type allegations).

Mine was Gene Snitsky, and it wasn’t for the board memes. I loved the guy. His moves, his original look, the way he moved. Every time I head “IT WASN’T MY FAULT” my eyes were glued to the screen.

In 2000 I went to school with a guy whose absolute favourite wrestler was Steve Blackman. I think about it often.

My Uncle Mike loved Duggan. Family was out playing croquet in the yard like 35 years ago and he was stomping around going "HOOOOO!" but there were only like 3 people there who liked wrestling and everyone else was like wtf

I was part of a wrestling fan club in my fourth grade class and one of my friends was a huge, I mean *massive* Owen Hart fan to a crazy level. And I enjoyed Owen, even back then I knew he was great, but I didn't truly appreciate Owen until I saw his older work years later. But my friend flipped out when one kid was understandably curious how a 229 guy was a "smaller" wrestler and he was "no, you're an idiot, he's 227 pounds! If you were a real Owen fan you'd know that!" He was pissed off the next day at school after some house show here in St. Louis where Razor's team I think beat Owen's and Owen got rammed into the turnbuckle like 30 times. For real, he was salty at lunch.

As a kid I loved Mike Boyette in Mid South/UWF.
Late 90s my top three were Funaki/Hardcore Holly/Steve Blackman.
Been trying to get any fed in MS/la/AL to book any of the three for 10 years now. Last I heard Funaki will make an appearance but wont wrestle anymore.

Growing up, the neighbor's son (or stepson, not sure) would sometimes come over and I guess he must've been watching AWA on some odd channel even though the main wrestling shows were WWF and Crockett programming because all this kid would talk about was Larry Zbyzsko.
Or Larry Nabisco, as he pronounced it.
