Savage and Steamboat. Everyone else raved about Hulk Hogan, but I was drawn in by a karate wrestler having his throat crushed by an evil man with a pretty wife.

The hardy boyz, more so Jeff. I remember being allowed to stay up and watch tv super late so I could watch David lettermen or soemthing, i was flipping channels and saw some dude with colored hair at a wedding and wanted to see wtf it was. It was Jeff sitting in the wrestler crowd at steph and tests wedding that triple H ruined. That lead to me seeing the hardys vs Dudley’s at the 200 royal rumble and I was hooked ever since.

Hulk Hogan was the wrestler that drew me into watching the WWF for the first time, back in 1991.
Move forward a couple of years, the Bret Hart/Owen Hart feud really kicked into full gear in 1994 when Owen snapped Bret's leg out of his leg at the Royal Rumble. It was the Bret/Owen feud that really captured my imagination, when many of my friends were losing interest around this time, wrestling was only sinking its claws into me deeper. I credit the Bret/Owen feud with making me a life long fan, as well as my late Grandfather who always encouraged my interest in Pro Wrestling, he'd always like to talk to me about the shows.

Ric Flair bravely overcoming the odds entering number 3 and outlasting 29 other men to win 1992 Royal Rumble and Heavyweight title (may also play a part in why I was never a Hogan mark since he's a huge sore loser in this match).
I also remember Randy Savage as somebody I was quickly drawn too.

Ultimate Warrior. It was like He-Man had walked into our world.

Bret Hart. The first time I ever saw him was not even on TV, but on photos of several wrestlers somewhere. I thought as a kid that this guy looks so cool, I should like the other kids maybe watch this stuff too. As it turned out by the quality of his matches it was the perfect choice.

8 year old me wound up watching Prime Time Wrestling one night and I saw Shawn Michaels beat Louie Spicolli in a squash match. I know I had seen wrestling before but it was that moment that started a lifetime fandom.

Mostly Ultimate Warrior. The first episode of wrestling I watched was the episode of Superstars where he was running a over the back screaming “WHERES THE MACHO KING?!?”. It also featured Hogan and Bret Hart. Those four really hook d me. However, my parents could never really pin down when WWF came on, their syndicated shows changed times a lot where I lived. But, they knew I was dying to watch more wrestling, and they figured out WCW was on TBS and WGN every weekend, so I started watching that. Sting, Flair, etc got me even more hooked. What a lucky time to be a kid.

I can't remember honestly. As a kid my only wrestling fix came from renting whatever VHS tapes I could in the early/mid 90s, so it would have been a mix of Hogan, Savage, Warrior, Undertaker and Bret Hart.
I didn't watch "full time" until the late 90s, so that would have been Stone Cold.
