This is a little different from the kind of favourites lists we usually do, though it's inspired by the other thread that was posted here recently. This isn't about listing your favourite wrestlers of all time - this is about stating your one very favourite wrestler during each period of your time as a fan. So don't mention anyone who wasn't your true favourite wrestler at one point.
1993 - 1994: The 123 Kid
I loved this guy when I was first getting into wrestling. I was only about 6 years old when I first saw him, but I thought he was awesome. I had a thing for plucky underdogs even then apparently. Doink the Clown was another favourite, who was obviously aimed at people my age, but I preferred 123 Kid. When Owen Hart knocked him out in the semi-finals of the 1994 King of the Ring, I was heartbroken.
1995 - 1995: Bret Hart
I had always enjoyed Bret Hart along with the 123 Kid, but as I grew a little older I started to like him a bit more and appreciate his skills in the ring. Plus I remember having a sticker album around this time with him on the cover. Plus I think 123 Kid turned heel in 1995 some time, which obviously I would have no part in as a child.
1996 - 1997: Sting
I stopped watching WWF around this time and started watching WCW. And while I had a lot of favourites in WCW, nothing captured by attention to quite the same extent as the crow Sting's shenanigans. That was absolutely amazing television to me and I've probably never enjoyed wrestling more. To this day, I think that angle was possibly the best ever in American wrestling.
1998 - 1999: Rey Mysterio
Other than Sting, the thing that I loved about WCW was always the cruiserweights. The two that I really remember loving back then were Ultimo Dragon, but even more so Rey Mysterio. I looked forward to his matches every week, even when they were against nobodies. Because I just didn't understand how he did all that flipping and twisting. It was magic for a kid.
2000 - 2002: The Hardy Boyz
When I switched back to WWF, it was the Hardy Boyz that captured my interest most. Probably because I had loved the cruiserweights in WCW and they were the closest thing that the WWF had right then. Looking back, I think Edge & Christian were probably the main reason that I enjoyed a lot of the Hardyz angles, but back then I naturally hated them as I was still young.
2003 - 2005: Eddie Guerrero
I grew to really like Guerrero - he was someone I had seen in WCW and he had been great there. And it was around this time that I was starting to appreciate technical wrestling more. But it was his cheeky face persona that really won me over. I don't think there's been a face as good as Guerrero since he passed. He had such charisma and charm. A perfect all-rounder.
2006 - 2008: Edge
This period was dominated by Edge, he really had no competition here in terms of providing entertainment. You never knew what would happen with Edge around. Every surprise moment and every great title change involved Edge. He added unpredictability to the show. They could badly do with someone like Edge now.
2009 - 2011: CM Punk
Punk took Edge's place around 2009 for me. His summer of Punk angle in 2009 was outstanding, but then unfortunately went nowhere. His Straight Edge Society stint was really interesting, but that went nowhere. Then the awesome shoot promo in 2011, which ... well that didn't really go anywhere either. But he was great throughout.
2012 - 2013: Austin Aries
I find it harder to decide my favourite wrestler since I started watching Impact instead of WWE, as there are a few that I really enjoy. Aries, Roode, Styles and Daniels being the major four. But of them Aries has provided many of the best moments and has been perhaps the most consistent, so he gets my vote. He's the best wrestler in the world right now in my mind.
