Who was your favorite wrestler when you were a kid/teen?

Yes, we know it's fake predetermined but nobody can deny that wrestling was huge in the 80's with the likes of Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior and then again in the late 90's with Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. I often hear older people talking about Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy from the UK scene too but they weren't really on my radar. So who did you love when you watched it, if you watched it? Who did you hate and why?

Also, one more question, if you don't know anything about wrestling now, do you know any of them in it currently or could you name some? Be interested to know that!

Some theme tune! A real Native American too, never mind the Hulkster fella.

Stone Cold and the Rock were my ultimates,
but I’ve still got a soft spot for Crash Holly

Wrestling in the 80s was Big Daddy & Giant Haystacks, with Dickie Davis presenting

Yup. I lived in London as a small child and remember watching them on a Saturday evening if I remember correctly.

Undertaker for me

My brother used to fling me around the living room on a Saturday morning thinking he was Bret the hitman Hart. One time he tried this “new move” which consisted of lifting me up and then slamming me down on my back. I was totally winded so then he put cushions on top of me and sat on me so our mother wouldn’t hear me crying. I’ll get him back, when he least expects it.

tonycascarino · 28-12-2018 09:50PM

Hulk Hogan or Jake 'The Snake' Roberts. Always liked Mr. Perfect too and Bobby Heenan always made me laugh.

Favourite tag team was Legion of Doom or Demolition as people have stated above.

Rowdy Rody Piper was a legend.

I was also fond of the Ultimate Warrior.

YoungRogerian · 28-12-2018 09:51PM

My top 5 in order were 1. Hulk Hogan. 2 Jake The Snake. 3. Ted Dibiase. 4. Macho Man. 5. Hacksaw Jim Duggan

Stone cold everything about him weather he was face or heal was perfect!

The Rock is the The Rock really i mean he just worked perfectly at the time hes a bit on the cringe the last few times hes came back though.

Cant forget Undertaker obviously and loved any character Mick Foley played.

HHH was the best heal in the business back in the day. Marry the bosses daughter bury everyone on the roster and be as smug and elite about it as possible! You cant get any more perfect as a bad guy then that!

His feuds with Austin The Rock Foley and even Undertaker where some of the best ever.

I would actually love to sit and watch a load of Attitude era up until the pg era stuff now!

I mean even Brock was a ****ing savage at his peak with Heyman as his mouth.

Edge & Christian, though I wasn't that young. Their fights and build ups with the Dudley boys and the Hardy boyz were epic.

Tables, ladders and chairs....

Oh my.

r93kaey5p2izun · 28-12-2018 09:54PM

Jake the Snake and Andre the Giant.

PandaPoo · 28-12-2018 09:54PM

I loved Triple H. Used to run home from mass so I could watch his sexy sweaty muscles and long blonde hair. Hated Stephanie when she married him, couldn't believe he wasn't marrying me.

Also like Mankind but definitely for different reasons.

This is my favorite ever gif of Bret Hart and his younger brother Owen (RIP). There's a real sibling dont do that again you sh1t vibe off that finger point.
