From when you were younger through to present day, what matches or superstars would you list as your favourites of all time?

"I wasn't really into one-on-one matches when I was younger, but I loved the Royal Rumble, and still do. I loved the 1992 Rumble match. Ric Flair was great and it was a seminal wrestling moment.

I remember feuds and angles more than matches from that time, such as the Snake Bite or whatever Undertaker was doing.

Shawn Michaels is probably my all time favourite wrestler, and he's still sorely missed. The match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 25 was amazing. Both Undertaker matches were, but that first one was special, I loved that. Loved the the match he had with Ric Flair at WrestleMania 24 too. I thought that was genuinely kind of moving, which is rare in wrestling.

Kurt Angle was a big favourite too, so the match between him and Shawn at at WrestleMania 21 was another classic. I'm looking forward to him going into the Hall of Fame but I'd really love to see him wrestle again.

I saw him fight AJ Styles when they both worked for TNA at a Wembley show a few years ago, but him doing something again in WWE would be cool."
