Since you didn't specify current I will go back just a few years to pick Mike Macchiavello. 

I told this story on the old board, so bear with me if you already read it.

My wife and I had never been to an NCAA tournament before, but got last second tickets to the 2018 finals in Cleveland in the mezzanine seats. There was an elevator you could take to get to the seats. When we got on the elevator the first day Mike Macchiavello was already on it. We struck up a brief conversation and wished him well. He seemed genuinely, pleasantly surprised that someone following another team would wish him good luck. After that we watched all his matches and were excited for him when he won 197. "Hey, we met that guy."

The next year I was in Pittsburgh alone. Also last second tickets, so I flew in late Thursday night. When I got to the elevator at the hotel the doors open and who is getting off, but Mike Macchiavello? He looks at me with that vague sense of recognition that says, "where have I seen this guy before?" So I tell him about my wife and I meeting him on an elevator and wishing him luck the prior year. He immediately smiles and says, "that's why I won."

To then hear Christian Pyles refer to Mike Machiavello as the nicest man in wrestling on FRL made me feel even better about the interaction.
