Matt Morgan Tna run I hated him during that time but watching back on Tna+ he's passable for a big guy but needed to be more aggressive imo.

You've missed the point of this thread spectacularly, unless this is a really confusing way of saying that at some point Matt Morgan was your favourite wrestler.

Kenny King was one of my favourites in 2012-2013. And I was convinced he was going to be the next TNA world champ. I really loved his finisher too. I’m not sure if he was popular here or not. But he was always one of my boys.

Wow, Kenny King! That's a name I'd forgotten. What happened to him in the end?

He was back in TNA until the end of 2023. No idea where he is now.

King and Rhett Titus vs The Briscoe’s Ladder war is one of my favourite ROH matches. Rhett Titus was probably his most interesting in that tag team.

Double post but Matt Taven. Would love to meet someone who had/has him as a favourite wrestler. One of the most forgettable ROH champions, I’m still surprised when I see his name as a former champ. ROH even released a dvd compilation of him. Considering the greats they’ve released dvds on, can anyone name a great Matt Taven match?

Taven was a bland character in Mortal Kombat too, so maybe people just shouldn't bother with that name.

I was only catching snippets of WWF between 1990-1993 by way of borrowing VHS tapes or finding any excuse to visit my aunt who had Sky. It was all Demolition and Hulk Hogan for me then.

But my favourite wrestler during my proper watching period of mid 1993 onwards was definitely Tatanka. Doing war dances at a north Wales primary school was cringe as fuck looking back, but I was mad into him and actually cried when Ludvig Borga brought his undefeated streak to an end.

I even half arsed tried to maintain my fandom during his heel Million Dollar Corporation run, but even aged 10 I had to admit defeat and that it had become a rotten act.

Looking back, his act was pretty cool in 1992/93 and I can see why I would have liked him. Never a very good worker, but I’m not that bothered about match quality nowadays,  and certainly wasn’t then!

Bit gutted he’s such a Trumper as he was very kind when I met him at FTLOW in Liverpool a few years back.

There was definitely a period where Tony DeVito of ECW's Da Baldies fame was one of my boys. He had a great look - short, mean, ugly, nasty little bastard. He knew how to brawl. He had cool entrance music.  He wore Adidas trackies. I didn't need much more than that.

Does Jimmy Rave count? He was absolutely hated by the ROH faithful and not just because he was a good heel, he was the antithesis of the companies workrate wanker style but I loved that so much that he became one of my faves in the company. Far more solid a worker than most would have you think, shame he was given the guitar hero gimmick in TNA but I'd argue he made it work.

Pushing it. I'm literally going for favourite wrestler without caveats.

He also had a summer residence in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.
