I went to a show in St Louis in 86 where he faced Orndorff and the reaction to Hogan was incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 1990-91. Pillman. Rockers. Warrior. Sting. Patriot. Arn Anderson since I loved the Spinebuster. Soon after, Bret. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wish I had a better answer but as an 80s kid the Hulkster was the one who hooked me, until the Macho Man showed up, and then I was all in on Randy...DIG IT! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Boring answer. Bret/Foley/Austin/Taker. WCW Cruisers after that. Let's cut that up a bit. Bret/Taker first, Foley/Austin when they showed up, then when I started watching WCW the obvious. Edited June 20, 2021 by Curt McGirt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I should add that young me was a Bad News Brown stan and loved the Ghetto Blaster as a finish (and still do). I still bust out "beer-bellied sharecroppers" as a joke insult. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
