Hulk Hogan was my favourite as a kid growing up. Also Brett 'The Hitman' Hart. Was lucky enough to see him at SummerSlam 1992 along with all the legends from that era...Macho Man Randy Savage (R.I.P), Shawn Michaels, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Undertaker, British Bulldog, Ultimate Warrior...I miss the old-skool wrestling days!
Totally agree about it being cr@p now and pretty much since they changed the name and focused more on the drama than the matches themselves.
The last decent WWF I watched was the era of The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin et al
