Surprised not seeing any mentions of "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton, "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin, "Handsome" Harley Race here. Obviously they were very desirable.

I have weird taste so definitely don't represent women but when I was in school every other female wrestling fan I knew had a crush on Jeff Hardy, without exception.

A straight girl friend of mine saw a Jade Cargill cosplay pic and told me "well I guess I'm gay now" so that's my vote.

Back when I first started watching in the early 90s, my mother had a thing for Jake Roberts. We're a pretty theatrical family, and I think Mom just enjoyed his whole demeanor and speaking ability...plus my Dad also has a pretty thick mustache, so maybe she kinda digs that, too?
That's honestly the part a lot of people forget, even though a lot of guys will do this regarding the women they find most attractive: sometimes it's not just how the person looks, but the way in which they carry themselves, what kind of personality/character/attitude they're putting across. Jeff Hardy doesn't only get the admiration he gets for his face and body, though he is a very handsome guy; it's also how he fully embraces an "alternative" look, style, and demeanor that draws a lot of admirers in.
Meantime, my cousin who's a couple of years older than me definitely thought Diesel was hot once Nash ditched the mullet look circa '94-'95. I think she also preferred Diesel to WCW Nash; must've been the dark hair dye.
As for my girlfriend, she's not usually super vocal about who she finds attractive, but as of a little while back I'd wager that Kenny Omega tops her list, in large part because he's a big nerd.

I doubt any girls back then went crazy for someone like HBK or Bret as far as the looks goes! I guess you weren't watching back then.

Surprised nobody said Kota Ibushi. Maybe he's a mostly straight guys idea of what a woman finds attractive.
Also Minoru Suzuki when he was younger.
Finn and Jeff Hardy are probably the most sensible answers though.

Both interesting and understandable that Jeff Hardy got mentioned so many times. But I had a girlfriend in the late 2000's that was OBSESSED with Matt Hardy. She was the girl at the show with the Matt Hardy shirt cut and customized to be more sexy/girlie. She liked Jeff too but she would stalk Matt Hardy's MySpace page 🤣 Another girl I dated many years later told me, I know Jeff was the star, but Matt was the really hot one.
Back in the day my mom and my aunt both loved Bret and Shawn. My mom also loved Tom Zenk. My aunt loved Crush, Adam Bomb, Nash. She is 4'11" and has a thing for REALLY tall men lol. I took my mom to an ROH show a few years ago and she really liked RUSH, I have friend who is a lady wrestling fan, Lucha Libre fan specifically, who is also very fond of RUSH.
Other names I've heard women in my life discuss are the usual suspects like Cena, Batista, Lashley, Hall, Shad Gaspard.

I was going to say. All the others mentioned I can definitely see but Savage? I love the guy but dude was a maniac with straw hair and the face of a used catchers mitt. It was good enough for Steph...

In terms of male wrestler I know lots of girls that of course found The Rock to be attractive and I do rmemeber my baby sitter finding Shawn Michaels attractive. The other ones I saw come up were Cena and Batista (my best friends sister had a Mrs. Cena t-shirt lol). The ones that sticks out with me was that my mom seemed/seems to really find Shane McMahon Attractive.

Attraktive is a hidden bonus character in Mortal Kombat 11.

Honestly even if Savage was good looking, his possessive personality would likely have been a huge turn-off.
Just on my experience with irl female fans, HBK (90s), Jericho (early 2000s) and CM Punk (mid/late 2000s) seemed to be the top 3.

Die meist attraktive Wrestler for den Frauwen muss sein der Macho Mann und den Alex Wright.

My mother called Savage "handsome behind the beard".
Maybe Rey Mysterio? That babyface must have matured into something else 10 years or so later.

I'm pretty sure my sister had a thing for Rikishi. She used to get super excited whenever he came out.

From the ones I've talked to, Rhea Ripley, Drew McIntyre, and Finn Balor would probably be in the lead.
From what I've heard over the years, it would be HBK, Bret Hart, Kevin Nash, Lex Luger, Rick Rude, and the Rock.
However, I have talked to a surprising amount of women who find Mick Foley very attractive. I think it's probably that he comes off very intelligent and compassionate.

The Rock is an odd one. My sisters and the girls in high school hated him because he was a big dumb wrestler.
Dwayne Johnson movie star however, same sisters and girls can't stop going on about how handsome he is.

All the Finn talk in the thread reminds me of how, when discussing his looks, plenty of wrestlers shamelessly bring up how he's got a big dick, something they hardly needed to tell us given his trunks, but still, it was brought up by I think Karl Anderson telling the Enzo story, paraphrasing but, "I think he just wanted to get women by leeching off of him, because Finn's a literal model with an 8 pack and a huge dick, what could Enzo possibly offer him for advice?" That's before even getting into his brogue, which doesn't likely hurt for many women.
Also somehow even more crassly than that, TAKA Michinoku calling him "long dick boy, like a sousage uwahahahaha"[sic] on Twitter when they were going back in forth and insulting each other in kayfabe. TAKA's quite a character.

You'll get a billion different answers for this, but Batista in 05 was absolutely undeniable in this regard. My aunt literally went from "ugly dude" to "IM GONNA *f**** THAT MAN" after his face turn. Batista 05 was... yeah. Like, I'm usually not much for super muscular people but I always found Dave attractive around that time lol. A straight girl friend of mine saw a Jade Cargill cosplay pic and told me "well I guess I'm gay now" so that's my vote. I'm sure between Jade and Rhea, this year has been interesting for quite a few people.
