Stone Cold, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker are Mount Rushmore, period.

[Billy Preston]

The 4th spot will always be the toughest. Austin/Rock/Hogan are on a tier of their own cuz they transcended wrestling. I remember at award shows like VMA/Grammy’s, The Rock and Austin were like rockstars. They had actors, musicians, and other prominent folks in the entertainment industry marking out over them.

I’d give the 4th spot to either Andre The Giant, Macho Man, or Ric Flair. I’d be cool if either one of them got the final spot.

nah hogan trash, who cares he got a bunch of reagan fans happy, he not even top 1000. hbk all day

 

[richaveli83]

Flair should be in the place of Undertaker.

Yeah realistically it’s one of those 3 guys. All of them achieved the heights of the business and transcended in ways only Hoegan, Rock, and Austin could compare. Taker’s cool but he’s not on that level and I wouldn’t put Cena there either.

 

[Heelish]

Wrestling fans generally agreed on Hogan, Austin, and Rocky definitely being part of pro wrestling’s Mt Rushmore, but that #4 spot always varied (Macho Man, Andre, Sammartino, Flair, etc). I feel in the past few years, Flair solidified his spot on that Mtn.

What about Sting?

Hes special in history in that I see him as the symbol of WCW. You don't think of WCW without thinking of Sting.

What about Sting?

Man, leaving off Sting and Macho Man hurts.

Everybody bringing up Flair...yes...flair was so dynamic as a heel promo in the 80s and always found a way to win against top faces by hook or crook but he wasn't as big as Macho Man by the Mega Powers time. Even after WM 3..Macho Man has been a superstar from day one. His theme, voice, the capes, the manager...the build up to WM 4. Hes pro wrestling personified.

Macho was never the draw flair was in the territories. Not even close. He was the reason wrestling Crockett got the cable deal and they made millions. Flair was the biggest draw until hulk

Out South? Yes. In 1988-89? Get real. Macho drew more than any Flair year on top. Andre and Bruno were bigger attractions than Flair....

 

[MenacingMonk]

Replace Taker with Flair. People disregarding Flair is ridiculous. Dude was HUGE in the old days.

With that said, my Rushmore only has Austin from this list.

 

[ALTRUISM]

I could see the argument for Cena in regards to what he's represented and done for modern day wrestling. Now, whether you thought it was good or not is a completely different story, but I wasn't overly fond of Hogan or his work either even before the racist debacle. Maybe not Mt. Rushmore tier, maybe more deserving than Taker, but not quite there. Definitely an Icon. Same goes for Macho Man.

"Flair's famous World Championship match with Kerry Von Erich at Texas Stadium in Dallas on May 6, 1984 drew 32,123 fans paying $402,000($975,000 today). His bout against Nikita Koloff at the 1985 Great American Bash in Charlotte drew over 25,000 fans and a quarter of a million dollars. Starrcade, the first of the modern-era closed-circuit TV Supercards, drew up to 60,000 live and closed circuit fans every Thanksgiving Night from 1983 to 1987, and Flair main-evented all of them. Starrcade 86 was the biggest-grossing, doing right at $1 million ($2.3 million today)."



Macho wasnt carrying the wwf like flair was. His numbers as champ were never that hot and he still had hogan buoying the cards. Macho has never been on any list of top draws ever

Hogan was always in the mix but Macho Man definitely was the draw and continued being such duringbhis entire main event run.

Those were good down south numbers but weren't shyt for the New York market..he was almost a unknown in NY and California. More people worldwide saw Randy Savage have the best match of the 80s at WM 3 than any Flair moment, promo, match, or event. Night and day.

 

[stro]

Taker does not belong on this list. That's the revisionist history. There are at least 10 guys that belong as the 4th before Taker. At least. Dozens if you open this up to worldwide.

 

[CROM]

Andre, Hogan, Flair, and Savage seem fairly obvious to me.
