Your Mount Rushmore of Wrestling
**For those of you that do not live in the United States Mount Rushmore is a mountain in South Dakota in which we Americans decided to honor nature by carving a bunch of our dead presidents into it. These presidents are supposedly supposed to be out best and brightest presidents in our history at the time of its carving (from 1927 to 1941).**
Now that I got that bit of information out of the way, what I want to know is what is each of your personal Mount Rushmore of Wrestling. That is the four men or women in the wrestling industry that most make you, or made you love wrestling. You can have only four, no more, no less. Here's mine... ![]() ![]() ![]()

I think you kinda have to have Vince in there. Same for Hogan and Austin. Rock, HBK, Bret, Taker, etc are interchangable.
In terms of inring though I'd go with Benoit, HBK, Angle & Bret (probably). |

Now, a more "realistic" one, I'd go with Vince McMahon, Eric Bischoff, Paul Heyman and Hulk Hogan.
Those are the three largest influences the business has seen in the last thirty years. MAYBE replace one with Gorgeous George. (The original pretty boy, not the whore.) |

I'm really asking for your 4 favorite wrestling personalities. Obviously if you were to ask what the true Mount Rushmore of Wrestling (four our generation) was it would have some combination of Vince McMahon, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Steve Austin, Ric Flair, and The Rock. But that's besides the point, what I want to know is your 4 favorite. |

Then calling it Mount Rushmore makes no sense anymore, does it?
These presidents are supposedly supposed to be out best and brightest presidents in our history at the time of its carving It's not like the guys carving it picked their favourites. |

Hogan and Vince have to be on it, love it or hate it they are the faces of wrestling. The other two become a bit more debatable. While there are many great wrestlers our there, it's hard to pick just two. When you look at the likes of Hart, Taker, Shawn, Flair etc solid arguments can be made for just about all of them. I do think either Austin or The Rock should represent the Attitude era, but only one should make it. So after Vince, Hogan, Austin/Rock, I guess I'd toss up Flair.

Also, he wasn't all that good, especially in his final performing years. As fond as I am/was of Andre, I think people overblow his legacy because of the fact he was a draw, the road stories, one of the first 'monsters' and WrestleMania III. A great character from wrestling history? For sure. In the same league as Vince, Hogan, Austin, Flair etc? Nah.
