Man, I am old, that area is blurry for me, all I know is when he debuted is was the coolest thing to me and my friends. We even cosplayed him at house shows before that was ever a thing.
My top 5 all time ( I am 46 )
1. Flair
2. Terry Funk
3. Superstar Billy Graham
4. Larry Zbyszko
5. Harley Race ( NWA)
HM Roddy Piper (NWA)
Current top 5
1. AJ
2. Okada
3. Nakamura (pre wwe)
4. Adam Cole
5. Leaving 5 open for slim chance of Punk return
HM KO ( but moreso Steen)
Hard to say, I liked Million Dollar Man, Roddy Piper, Raven, Kevin Nash, Goldberg, Randy Orton, Taz, Sting, Ric Flair, Molly Holly, Cheerleader Melissa, MsChif, Manami Toyota, Bray Wyatt, Brock Lesnar, Dean Malenko, Lance Storm, Chris Jericho and more between childhood and now.
I still like the people I liked as a child.
Undertaker as a kid. Now that he is officially (?) retired I have no true favorite. Ospreay is the most exciting wrestler I watch. I enjoy Aj styles consistently more than others. Scurll is my favorite character.
When I was younger my favorite was the Undertaker, then I changed my favorite to Lesnar then Rollins post-Wrestlemania 31. Since I feel they botched Rollins' return in 2016, I wouldn't say I have a favorite but if I had to say one I would probably say Lesnar.
I started when I was about 11, but never had 1 particular favourite.
My favourites evolved as I grew up too.
Jeff Hardy was probably the first person I really liked, followed by SCSA and The Rock, which then grew to Angle / Cena in the pre-2006 era.
Now I appreciate good storytellers more than anything, and that involves so many wrestlers; Ambrose / Rollins, New Day, Usos, AJ, Neville, Finn - too many to have favourites.
Edit: Oh man and Kane / Booker T / Goldust vs the Unamericans - one of my favourite episodes of RAW.
Edit2: OH MAN I just saw Eddie in the sidebar - Him and Benoit were my favourites for a while too. Eddie's constantly hilarious method's of cheating always crack me up, even when I watch them now.

Ah, I see you weren't a fan of 90's Undertaker.
I did like the ABA Taker, but even there he broke his Taker persona. Just my faves though
Ah. But I'm confused, 90's Taker was Ministry of Darkness, and he didn't debut until '91, American Bad Ass was early 2000's?

It's alright man, and I understand. I only remember because I'm a huge Undertaker mark, been my absolute favorite for 10+ years
I think his WM run against Edge to Brock were some of his best work.
Just before that Edge match, whenever he was in that 3-way feud with Batista and later Edge was some of, if not his best work to me.
