who was your favorite childhood wrestler growing up

[Maijah]

Ultimate warrior was one of my favs. I've got a WWF autograph book. Its setup kinda like a H.S. yearbook, the point was to get every wrestler to sign their picture. I've got some great autographs. Also my uncle was good friends with Bob backlund, lol.

Growing up seeing the WWF on TV was one of the only times I got to see the type of physique I aspired to outside of the bodybuilding magazines .

My favourites were Legion of Doom and Davey Boy Smith the British Bulldog .

Bill Kazmaier was actually an NWA/WCW wrestler with Rick Steiner I believe.

No more more more that's right I forgot it was nwa before wcw ! I actually loved Kevin Nash and hogan when they sort of formed the gang lol what was that name ? Black shirts red letters I actually had one but wore it out lol

The old NWA was my favorite as to a poor kid watching cable TV at the babysitters these guys seemed like real superheros.

Heres a few other notable favs.

George the Animal Steel
Cowboy Bill Watts
Big John Studd
Hacksaw Jim Dugan
One of RR Pipers first role as heel was picking on Bob and Brad Armstrong telling Bob he was a terrible father because his son did all the work.....it was awesome.

THE BEST MOMENT I ever seen on TV was when Freebird Michael Hayes dressed as santa and jumped KVH (the Claw vs the Oriental Spike)

start watching about 14:48....awesome.

I was a Hulkamaniac for a while. The Rockers were my favorite tag team. KoKo Beware was my favorite underdog and The Undertaker replaced Hulk as my ace eventually.
