I started watching in 1987 when I was 4, so most of my 80's viewing outside of what was live those last few years was done watching older stuff on VHS.
From my personal preferences: Dusty = Savage > Flair > Andre > Hogan
Dusty and Randy Savage are two of my favorites of all time.
Flair was always fun to root against, especially as a big Dusty & Sting fan.
Never cared for Hogan until he became Hollywood in 96. Rooted against him so hard during both Mania 5 and 6 (I know 6 was in 1990, but close enough).
Andre was fun to see as the attraction he was, I appreciated him way more when I got older.
