How do we start? And where do we finish?
I need a favorite wrestler right? Damage already got the Miz. Who can I get thats kinda out of the box?
If you seriously want to start watching wrestling, I'd just recommend skipping most of the WWE stuff and checking out NXT, their developmental program. It's way better than the regular WWE and their "PPV" specials (I put it in quotes because they aren't actually PPVs, as they air exclusively on the WWE Network) are always fantastic. The most recent one, Takeover: San Antonio, was a great show from top to bottom.
And while NXT is technically developmental, there are quite a few wrestlers working there who are well-known guys from other promotions like Bobby Roode, Eric Young, Austin Aries, and Shinsuke Nakamura.
As for where to start, check out NXT Takeover: Revolution. That's the show that got me back into wrestling. It features the NXT debut of Kevin Owens, who is currently the top champ on Raw, along with a fantastic title match between Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville. Zayn is currently on Raw as well, and Neville is the Cruiserweight Champion.
Here's a link to the entire main event between Zayn and Neville:

The Owens debut is less important, as it's just a three minute squash match to establish him, but he and Zayn have wrestled together around the world and are really good friends in real life. They've been teammates and rivals for the past decade, and that plays into the ending of the show. They feuded in NXT and went on to feud on the main roster, with their WWE match at Battleground last year being one of the best WWE matches of the year.
Kind of a side note, but Kevin Owens has a great and hilarious YouTube match against AJ Styles (currently one of the top WWE guys on Smackdown...he just dropped the main Smackdown title to John Cena at the Rumble a week ago).

Owens is the favorite of a lot of fans because he's a great worker. His matches are almost always entertaining, he's quick-witted and thus interacts well with the crowd and taunts his opponents in a funny manner, and can do a lot of things you wouldn't expect a guy who is built like him to be able to do. His WWE debut match against John Cena is still one of my favorite matches since I started watching wrestling again.

If you just want to check out some great wrestling, look into the Cruiserweight Classic that the WWE put on last summer, along with the UK Championship tournament they put on last month. Both feature some great matches and are treated much more like sporting events than the average WWE show.
Some other matches to check out:
- Sami Zayn vs. Shinsuke Nakamura from NXT Takeover: Dallas.
- AJ Styles vs. John Cena from Summerslam 2016.
- The Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler from No Mercy 2016.
- DIY vs. The Revival from NXT Takeover: Toronto.
- Bayley vs. Sasha Banks from NXT Takeover: Brooklyn
- Kevin Owens vs. Adrian Neville from some random NXT weekly show in 2015.
Could probably think of others too, but those are all fantastic matches.
