Create a Mt. Rushmore for Sports Entertainment - Page 2

If you had to design a monument for Sports Entertainment like Mount Rushmore, what 4 faces would you put on it and why? It can be anyone you can think of, but you can only have 4.

I'm going with this lineup in no particular order:

1. Vince McMahon - love him or hate him, it was his company that made wrestling mainstream and he's been the most successful for the longest period of time.

2. Hulk Hogan - Hogan haters, try to understand that he was the poster child for the company that first went mainstream. You all say that almost anyone could have filled that role. Well, they didn't, Hogan did.

3. The Rock - He's had the most mainstream success outside of wrestling.

4. Andre The Giant - Everyone over the age of 20, whether they know of wrestling or not, knows this name. He's sold out arenas and stadiums from New York to Tokyo and even had some mainstream exposure in TV and film.

I know my list is going to be controversial and before you ask, yes, I did consider Inoki, Baba, Flair, Gange, Crockett, Austin, Karl Gotch and I almost put Georgous George instead of Andre.
